New This Week: Disclosure Day
Steven Spielberg returns to the director’s chair with Disclosure Day, an original sci-fi event film that asks a provocative question: What if the truth about extraterrestrial life was finally revealed to the world? Starring Emily Blunt as a meteorologist who gains mysterious abilities, Josh O’Connor as a cybersecurity whistleblower, and Colin Firth as a shadowy government operative, the film blends conspiracy thriller elements with Spielberg’s signature humanistic touch and awe-inspiring visuals (complete with a John Williams score).
It opened to a robust $44M, marking one of the stronger debuts for an original Spielberg project in recent years. Audiences and critics have praised Blunt’s performance and the film’s emotional core amid its high-concept premise.

Holdover Highlights
- Obsession continues its incredible run as one of the biggest box office surprises of 2026. This low-budget psychological horror/romance (reportedly made for under $1M) added another $19M in its fifth weekend, pushing its domestic total past $188M. Word-of-mouth remains exceptionally strong, especially among younger audiences.
- Scary Movie (the latest installment, often referred to as Scary Movie 6) dropped sharply in its second weekend but still earned a respectable $14.5M. The Wayans brothers and returning cast deliver meta laughs targeting modern horror tropes, reboots, and more. It’s a nostalgic, raunchy ride for fans of the franchise.
- Backrooms (A24) held well in its third weekend with $11.3M. Kane Parsons’ feature debut based on the viral creepypasta/YouTube series immerses viewers in eerie liminal spaces and psychological horror, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor. It’s a slow-burn mind-bender that rewards fans of atmospheric dread.
- Masters of the Universe continued its struggle, dropping about 71% to $8.7M in weekend two. The live-action He-Man reboot has faced challenges connecting with younger audiences despite the nostalgia factor.
The summer box office remains hot with a mix of originals, horror hits, and franchises keeping theaters busy. Disclosure Day sets up an intriguing battle for the coming weeks—stay tuned for more updates!
