- "Disclosure Day" streams on Peacock starting Oct. 9, following its June 12 theatrical release from Universal
- Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor star as a meteorologist and whistleblower who discover an unexpected connection with alien life and risk their lives exposing extraterrestrial activity and government abuse
- The film grossed $241 million worldwide at the summer box office, against a $115 million production budget and $80 million marketing spend
- Critics gave the film an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, while Variety's Owen Gleiberman praised the performances but said it "doesn't take us anywhere overly surprising"
- The ensemble cast also includes Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, Wyatt Russell, Eve Hewson, and newcomer Courtney Grace
- The film continues Spielberg's long-running interest in extraterrestrial subjects, a thread running through "E.T." and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"
Why it matters: After grossing $241 million against $195 million in combined production and marketing costs, Universal's Oct. 9 Peacock debut gives the studio a second revenue window on a film that already cleared a modest theatrical profit — extending monetization to subscribers without cannibalizing the box office run that's already closed.
