Steven Spielberg’s new sci-fi thriller Disclosure Day has made a strong start at the global box office, earning an estimated $12 million on its opening day worldwide. 

The total includes about $6 million from Wednesday screenings in overseas markets and another $6 million from Thursday preview shows in North America.

Industry analysts expect the film, starring Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, and Josh O’Connor, to collect more than $65 million globally during its opening weekend, including around $35 million in the US and Canada.

The extraterrestrial movie opened at No. 1 in several major markets, including the UK, France, Mexico, South Korea, Germany, and Italy. It will launch across 73 markets and more than 50,000 screens worldwide, making it one of Spielberg’s biggest global releases in years.

Critics have responded positively, giving the movie an 82% “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Its score is higher than Spielberg’s War of the Worlds and A.I., though slightly below Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Minority Report.
