Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day has landed with more impact than expected, and the numbers are already reshaping early box office expectations.
The Universal and Amblin sci-fi release, which leans into 1970s-style alien thriller territory, opened to a global total of US$93.9m — well ahead of the US$65m it was originally tracking towards, with Deadline reporting that the film has “beamed up” a stronger-than-expected start across international markets.
The split tells its own story. International audiences have edged ahead of North America, contributing US$49.9m compared with US$44m stateside. Led by Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, Josh O’Connor and Colin Firth, the ensemble has helped secure a B CinemaScore — solid rather than spectacular, but enough to keep early momentum steady.
In the UK and Ireland, the film has opened to US$3.8m across three days, with US$1.6m coming in on Friday alone. That puts it broadly in line with recent big-budget sci-fi releases, and early tracking suggests a weekend total of around US$7.3m once previews are stripped out.
IMAX has been a key driver here, accounting for around 11% of ticket sales, while the BFI IMAX has emerged as the standout venue, selling out evening sessions across multiple days. Odeon is leading overall, but Everyman saw a late-week bump, hinting at a slightly older, more premium-seeking audience.
France is also performing strongly, delivering US$1.5m across the first three days, including US$500k on Friday. The film is posting a high per-screen average and outperforming local competition, with premium formats doing a noticeable share of the work. The weekend is tracking towards roughly US$3.7m.
Mexico has matched that sense of momentum, bringing in US$1.6m over three days, with US$740k on Friday alone. Even with World Cup screenings competing for attention, the film is taking close to a third of the market. The weekend outlook sits around US$3.5m, in line with recent large-scale studio sci-fi releases.
Australia has delivered a four-day total of US$2.1m, including an estimated US$1m from Saturday. The film is commanding around a quarter of the weekend box office there, with IMAX close to 9% of sales. The market is tracking just under US$3m for the frame.
Spain is overperforming on opening day strength, with $800k on Friday alone and nearly half of the daily box office going to Disclosure Day. IMAX is smaller at around 4%, but the weekend is still expected to land at roughly US$2.8m, ahead of several recent genre comparisons.
Brazil has also come in solid, with US$1.5m across three days from nearly 1,000 screens. The film is responsible for around a third of total market business, supported by IMAX and other premium formats, and is heading towards a US$2.7m weekend.
Italy stands out for dominance. The film has taken US$992k across three days, including $400k on Friday, and holds a 39% share of the market. It is the top title by a clear margin, with the strongest per-screen average and a steady IMAX contribution. The weekend is tracking just above US$2.2m.
Germany is the main outlier. The film has reached $1m over three days and sits second behind Scary Movie, with a mid-teens market share. IMAX and 70mm screenings are helping stabilise performance, keeping it broadly in line with comparable sci-fi releases.
Elsewhere, Hong Kong has reached roughly US$500k with a strong 40% market share, while the Netherlands is at US$500k with notable strength in IMAX and Dolby Cinema. Poland rounds things out with US$400k and a weekend projection close to US$900k.
Taken together, Disclosure Day is shaping up as a solid global launch with clear strength in international markets and premium formats.
