- Disclosure Day earned $12.5M worldwide on its first day, combining $6.5M North American previews and $6M overseas Wednesday earnings.
- Rotten Tomatoes audience score for Disclosure Day is 74%, surpassing Spielberg’s E.T. (72%) and A.I. (64%) but below Close Encounters (85%) and Minority Report (80%).
- UK and Ireland opened Disclosure Day to $1.2M on Wednesday, capturing a 36% market share across 650 sites and expanding to 720 locations as Spielberg’s widest release there.
- France grossed $632k on Wednesday from 680 screens, achieving a 25% share of total market admissions and ranking No. 1.
- Korea earned $383k on Wednesday across 1,071 screens, taking 32% of the box office during the market’s Culture Day and ranking first.
- Australia posted a $594k total after limited Wednesday night sneak previews and $406k on Thursday, leading the market with a 36% share on 312 screens.
Why it matters: Universal and Amblin stand to profit from the $12.5 M opening and the 74% audience rating, which outpaces several of Spielberg’s earlier sci‑fi titles, while competing releases such as Twisters and Ready Player One face stiffer competition in key worldwide markets.
