Steven Spielberg proved that he's still the box office king after over 50 years in business, as Disclosure Day became his latest #1 opener, posting one of his biggest debuts unadjusted for inflation. The rest of the holdovers experienced rough drops, with the NBA Finals on Saturday and the beginning of the 2026 World Cup playing a big factor.

The Top 10 earned a combined $114.8 million this weekend. That's down 22.6% from last year, when How to Train Your Dragon debuted atop.

Debuting in first place, Universal's Disclosure Day opened with a pretty great $44.5 million in 3,824 theaters. That marks Steven Spielberg's fifth highest debut unadjusted for inflation, just behind Jurassic Park ($50.1 million), War of the Worlds ($64.8 million), The Lost World: Jurassic Park ($72.1 million) and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ($100.1 million). It's also his 18th film to hit #1 at the box office, more than any other director.

For an original sci-fi film, this is a pretty great start. And it further shows that Spielberg, over 30 films in, still carries a lot of power at the box office. After all, his name was plastered all over marketing, more than any of the actors starring.

Universal knows what they get with Spielberg, and so they followed all his instructions. That included a prime summer spot, where there was little of interest for adult moviegoers. They gave it a big marketing push (including a Super Bowl spot), and they also kept away from spoiling anything from the film's third act. That strategy worked, but seeing Spielberg returning to "humans interacting with alien life" was also a huge selling point, as it drew comparisons to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, one of his most iconic works. Some great reviews (81% on RT) also worked.

According to Universal, 57% of the audience was male. As expected, the film skewed old; 59% of the audience was 35 and over, and 40% was 45 and over. Only 3% of the audience was teens. This is very encouraging, showing that older audiences are still going to the theaters, as long as the film looks interesting. Perhaps not glowing reactions though.

Audiences gave Disclosure Day a so-so "B" on CinemaScore, tying with Crystal Skull and 1941 as Spielberg's second lowest grade on the site, and just above A.I. Artificial Intelligence (C+). A big point was the film's third act, which drew polarizing reactions across social media. It's going to face a juggernaut in Toy Story 5 next week, but Spielberg's films are known for legging out. At worst, it should still mark Spielberg's 17th film to cross $100 million domestically, another record for the iconic filmmaker.

Obsession had its steepest drop yet. But when that drop is just 25%, you know you're having an all-timer run. Especially when you go from fourth place to second place. It added $19 million this weekend, which means the film now has four weekends above its opening weekend. In fact, the film has officially reached a 10x multiplier, which is practically unheard of for a wide release without the help of holidays.

The film has earned a dazzling $188.3 million domestically, overtaking Get Out ($176 million) to become Blumhouse's highest-grossing film in the market. The summer season is about to get heavy, but it still doesn't have any horror competition until July. Which means Obsession could make its way to $250 million domestically.

To the surprise of no one, Scary Movie 6 fell brutally on its second weekend. It collapsed a steep 74%, the worst ever drop in the franchise, earning $14.2 million. The drop is horrible for a comedy, and is on par with Scream 7's second weekend drop earlier this year. While the film opened high, the poor word of mouth rapidly caught up with it. Nevertheless, with $84.2 million in 10 days, the film is already healthy at the box office. It's going to continue collapsing, which means it won't make it much further than $100 million down the line.

Backrooms continues dropping like a rock. On its third weekend, it dropped 56%, adding $11.5 million. The film has now earned a monumental $160.2 million domestically, and should close with around $175 million domestically.

Yeah, Scary Movie dropped massively. But it's still a hit at the end of the day, so it's not like the drop will change anything. The same can't be said about Masters of the Universe though.

On its second weekend, Masters of the Universe earned $8.9 million. That's down a horrible 70% from last week, which was already a very poor start. It's far worse than Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (63%), and that film had the colossal hit Mario on its second weekend. The drop is way higher than usual for a blockbuster, which means the film's tepid word of mouth ("B" on CinemaScore) and lack of interest were worse than expected.

Through 10 days, Masters has mustered a very poor $46.9 million. While there was hope that families could give it legs, it's clear kids don't care about the film (they represented just 6% of the audience). With more blockbusters coming in, Masters will continue collapsing. Expect it to end with less than $60 million domestically, a very poor performance in so many ways.

The Mandalorian and Grogu once again had another rough drop. It fell 52%, adding $4.8 million this weekend. The film has earned just $165.1 million, and it's set to close with less than $175 million domestically.

Michael eased 45%, earning $4.2 million. The film has now taken $362.8 million domestically, and it still has some money left in the tank, even though Lionsgate dropped the ball by releasing it in digital already.

BTS World Tour “Airbag“* played on Saturday only, and it managed to make $3.8 million, which was enough to hit eighth place.

In ninth place, Lionsgate's The Furious pulled in a very solid $2.8 million in 1,251 theaters. The film didn't have big names attached, but the universal acclaim (97% on RT) led to some curiosity factor. With an "A" on CinemaScore, perhaps the film could surprise over the next few weeks.

Rounding out the Top 10 was Bleecker Street's comedy Stop! That! Train!, which bombed with just $2 million in 1,161 theaters. The result is not surprising, given Bleecker Street has had a very poor run over the past years. Other than Logan Lucky, not a single film of theirs has cracked $20 million domestically, with most struggling to hit $5 million. Don't expect this to last long.

As expected, The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act was a one-week attraction, given it collapsed 87% on its second weekend. But $24.9 million is still a solid number.

The Breadwinner is fading quickly, as it dropped another 55%, earning just $1.5 million this weekend. With just $17.5 million in the tank, don't expect it to hit $20 million.

The Sheep Detectives eased 37%, adding $1.4 million. That takes its domestic total to $62.4 million.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is nearing the end of its run, as it dropped 52% for a $1.3 million weekend. The film's domestic total stands at $217.8 million.

Pressure collapsed 63%, adding $1.1 million. The film has amassed $14 million, and it's about to end its run.

OVERSEAS

With the 2026 World Cup starting, that means a lot of films will have face some challenges in attracting interest. Let's see how it all went down.

Disclosure Day posted a pretty great $48.8 million overseas, for a $93.4 million worldwide launch. The best debuts were in the UK ($7.6M), Mexico ($3.9M), China ($3M), France ($2.9M), Australia ($2.9M), Brazil ($2.7M), Spain ($2.7M), Italy ($2.2M), Germany ($2M), South Korea ($1.4M) and Hong Kong ($1M). Given how massive the World Cup is worldwide, this is more than good enough for the film. Given that these films can have good legs and with Japan still left, the film should enjoy a very healthy run. Enough to recover its $115 million budget? We'll find out.

Scary Movie added $22.5 million overseas, for a $172.8 million worldwide total. Like the domestic market, a few rough drops across the board. But the film is already a big hit, so it's nothing at the end of the day. It's still poised to make over $200 million worldwide.

After so much anticipation, Michael finally made its debut in Japan and it did not disappoint in the slightest. It posted a strong $7.5 million in its first weekend, one of the biggest live-action debuts for an American film lately. This helped the film reach $932.3 million worldwide, officially passing Bohemian Rhapsody to become the highest-grossing music biopic worldwide. Not only that, it pretty much confirms it: this is hitting $1 billion worldwide.

Obsession added $15.1 million overseas, taking its worldwide total to $286.5 million worldwide. The best markets are the UK ($17.6M), India ($7.9M), Mexico ($6.8M), Italy ($4.6M), UAE ($4.6M), Saudi Arabia ($4.5M), Netherlands ($3.1M), and Poland ($2.8M). It's just $11 million away from overtaking Five Nights at Freddy's to become Blumhouse's highest-grossing film.

Backrooms added $11.9 million overseas, for a $262.5 million worldwide total. With a few markets left, it should still crack $300 million worldwide.

Further embarrassing itself, Masters of the Universe died across the world, as it made just $8.4 million overseas, taking its worldwide total to a pathetic $86.3 million. Based on its drops, the film will look to finish with around $120-$130 million worldwide, nowhere close to recouping its $200 million budget. Amazon could spin it all they want, but that's gonna make it one of the worst performances for a $200 million film and one of the biggest box office flops of all time.

FILMS THAT ENDED THEIR RUN THIS WEEK

None.

THIS WEEKEND

Brace yourselves, for there is potential to see the biggest opening weekend of the year.

And that's Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 5, the latest addition to the beloved franchise. Toy Story has been Pixar's crown jewel, pulling in over $3 billion worldwide across its four installments. It brings the toys back, and with a new foe: technology. With a very aggressive marketing campaign, the incredibly consistent good will for the franchise, and the lack of family options, everything is in Toy Story 5's favor to demolish records.

A24 is also releasing The Death of Robin Hood, the latest film from Michael Sarnoski and starring Hugh Jackman in the title role. The film offers a "darker" version of the iconic legend, but moviegoers often tend to ignore Robin Hood films because there's already too many of them with little differences in each. Reviews are positive, but they're not acclaimed (72% on RT is quite low), and A24 hasn't pushed much marketing. That means the film will have some trouble in maintaining interest.
