Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" debuted to $44 million in North American theaters and $92.9 million globally in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates. The film's performance marks Spielberg's strongest opening for an original movie, not adjusted for inflation.

"It performed very, very uniformly across the entire United States and Canada," said Jim Orr, head of distribution for Universal Pictures. "It didn't play like a big coastal market movie. It connected with everybody." Orr noted that a highly watched NBA finals game did not appear to depress ticket sales.

While recent weeks saw Gen Z driving cinema attendance, a slightly older demographic propelled interest in "Disclosure Day." Approximately 41% of the audience was 45 years or older. The film's closest competitor was the indie horror hit "Obsession," directed by 50-years-younger YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker.
