- 'Scary Movie' (Paramount) debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. and Ireland with £4.1 million ($5.6 million), edging out two other new openers by a combined margin of under $1.1 million
- Piece Of Magic Entertainment's 'The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act' opened at No. 2 with $3.6 million, while Sony's 'Masters Of The Universe' launched at No. 3 with $3.5 million in its debut frame
- A24's 'Backrooms' slipped to No. 4 in its sophomore session, adding $3 million for an $11.6 million cumulative
- Universal's 'Michael' reached a $67.7 million cumulative in its seventh weekend, making it the dominant earner in the market by a wide margin despite sitting at No. 7 on the chart
- Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' (Universal) opens Wednesday June 11 into 300+ locations, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo
- Disney's 'The Mandalorian And Grogu' pulled in $1.8 million in its third weekend, lifting its cumulative to $18.8 million
Why it matters: The source frames the frame as 'highly competitive,' with three new releases landing within $1.1M of each other — but the market's real story is Universal's 'Michael,' which has quietly amassed $67.7M cumulative by week seven, dwarfing every other title on the chart. Universal's mid-week 'Disclosure Day' launch into 300+ locations sets up a major test for whether a new Spielberg original can break out theatrically.
