American screenwriter and director with a record box-office track
Steven Spielberg has released Disclosure Day, a science‑fiction thriller starring Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor. The film follows a whistleblower exposing decades of suppressed evidence of extraterrestrial contact, has opened to broadly positive reviews praising its humour, spectacle and moral questions, and is expected to perform strongly at the box office.
Horror films directed by young creators from YouTube and TikTok are reshaping the summer box office, with Kane Parsons’ Backrooms and Curry Barker’s Obsession delivering strong openings. Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day opens strongly in the U.S. and worldwide, while Masters of the Universe struggles to meet expectations. Audiences over 34 are driving early legs for original releases.
