Steven Spielberg's new alien thriller Disclosure Day opened this week, marking the director's 39th feature. Early box office figures show the film earning nearly $44 million in the United States and $93 million worldwide in its first days.
The movie arrives as Spielberg, now nearing age 80, returns to themes of extraterrestrial contact that echo his earlier work. Industry observers note its solid start amid a mixed summer season for other major releases.
Spielberg has already begun work on his next project. The filmmaker has long balanced ambitious productions with a personal drive for creative challenges, a pattern visible across his decades-long career.
Box office analysts point to the film's No. 1 global opening as evidence of continued audience interest in Spielberg's signature style of suspense and wonder.
