Steven Spielberg’s latest sci-fi thriller, “Disclosure Day,” debuted in first place at the North American box office with $44 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed Sunday.<\/p>\n
With an ensemble cast led by Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor, the action-packed film follows an effort to reveal a decades-long coverup of extra-terrestrial visitations.<\/p>\n
Decades after making “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977) and “E.T.” (1982), Spielberg returns to the burning question of whether humanity is alone — but with a setting in our modern AI- and social media-altered world.<\/p>\n
Industry analyst David A. Gross called the $44 million debut a “very good opening for an original sci-fi thriller.”<\/p>\n
“The film’s success is going to depend on how well it holds,” he said, adding that “reception is very good, but with Steven Spielberg, many people want great.”<\/p>\n
Second place went to Focus Features’ indie horror hit “Obsession,” which took in another $19 million in its fifth week out for a total domestic haul of $188.3 million, Exhibitor Relations reported.<\/p>\n
Directed by 26-year-old Curry Baker on a budget of less than $1 million, the film has ridden strong critical and audience reviews to a whopping global estimated haul of $286 million.<\/p>\n
Variety said it represents Focus Features’ highest grossing film of all time and noted that it has now had four consecutive weekends above its “already-impressive $17 million debut.”<\/p>\n
Inde Navarrette has earned particular plaudits for her leading role as a young woman who becomes hauntingly infatuated with a man, played by Michael Johnston, after he makes a magical wish for her affection.<\/p>\n
Third place went to Paramount’s reboot of the “Scary Movie” parody franchise, with $14.5 million in its second week out.<\/p>\n
A24’s horror film “Backrooms” came in fourth with $11.3 million, taking its domestic total to $160 million after a record-breaking debut two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
The film is based on 20-year-old director Kane Parsons’ viral YouTube series and has now earned over $262 million at the global box office on a budget of just $10 million.<\/p>\n
Starring Oscar nominees Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, the movie follows a furniture shop owner (Ejiofor) who discovers a mysterious, labyrinthine complex underneath his store.<\/p>\n
Fifth place went to MGM’s “Masters of the Universe” reboot, which took in just $8.7 million in its second week out — a 70 percent drop from its already modest debut.<\/p>\n
With a production budget of over $200 million, Variety said, the adventure film based on a 1980s Mattel toy “will leave theaters as one of the year’s biggest bombs.”<\/p>\n
Rounding out the top 10 were:<\/p>\n
“Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” ($4.7 million)<\/p>\n
“Michael” ($4.1 million, for a total global haul of $932 million)<\/p>\n
“BTS World Tour Arirang in Busan” ($3.8 million)<\/p>\n
“The Furious” ($2.8 million)<\/p>\n
“Stop! That! Train” ($2 million)<\/p>\n
