Spielberg's Disclosure Day Tops Bridge of Spies at Global Box Office

Steven Spielberg's new sci‑fi film Disclosure Day has climbed past one of his earlier dramas at the global box office. The film's current worldwide gross stands at $193,668,140, edging out Bridge of Spies, which grossed about $165.4 million. Different tallies put Disclosure Day's gross at $172.7 million against a reported production budget of $115 million.

Disclosure Day opened strongly in the summer window with a global debut of $92.9 million, helped by renewed public interest in UFOs after the release of declassified documents about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The film, led by Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor and Colin Firth, has prompted speculation about Spielberg's ties to a supposed real‑world disclosure project and rumors that it functions as a secret sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Bridge of Spies, released in October 2015, featured Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance and earned six Academy Award nominations; its screenplay was co‑written by the Coen Brothers. Box‑office context differs between the two films.
