Preview:
- ‘Disclosure Day’ was top of the global box office.
- Horror pic ‘Obsession’ continued to impress.
- ‘Scary Movie’ and ‘Masters of the Universe’ both saw big drops.
This weekend was something of a proving ground for one of the most established filmmakers in cinema as Steven Spielberg returned to popcorn blockbuster territory for Universal conspiracy thriller ‘Disclosure Day.’
The new movie may not rank up there with his best, but it opened to $44 million, and marks his as well as production company Amblin’s highest opening for an original title not based on any previous IP.
Globally, it was a solid launch for the film, with $92.9 million around the world, riding strong (if mixed) reviews and a decent reception from audiences.
