Steven Spielberg is widely regarded as one of the most influential and accomplished filmmakers in cinema history. The Oscar-winning director is the man behind several iconic films, including Indiana Jones, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, and Schindler’s List, as well as more recent films such as West Side Story and The Fabelmans. So, the curiosity around his next directorial effort, Disclosure Day, is naturally quite high.
This is not the first time Steven Spielberg has directed an alien-themed movie. Previously, the veteran filmmaker has directed several films in this sub-genre, like Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), War of the Worlds (2005), and the iconic sci-fi film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). Among these, War of the Worlds grossed $603.9 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
While it remains to be seen if Disclosure Day can surpass that figure, let’s take a look at whether the Emily Blunt-starrer can rank among Steven Spielberg’s top five opening-day performers at the domestic box office.
