‘Disclosure Day’ reveals a $44M opening weekend

Hello! Welcome to The Box Office Report for the weekend of June 12-14, 2026.

1. Disclosure Day

Weekend gross: $44M
Total domestic gross: $44M
Last weekend: New release
Percent drop: NA

In a world of blockbusters that once routinely crushed the $100 million mark, it’s easy for a $44 million opening weekend to feel like a letdown. It’s been almost two decades since a Steven Spielberg film opened at that level, though, with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’s $100.1 million debut being the director’s first, last and only film to notch that accomplishment.

Disclosure Day is Spielberg’s biggest opening weekend since Crystal Skull, passing the $41.8 million grossed by Ready Player One in 2018.

2. Obsession

Weekend gross: $19M
Total domestic gross: $188.4M
Last weekend: 4th
Percent drop: 25

Obsession continues its absolutely absurd box office performance. After opening with $17.2 million, the horror film has scored four straight weekends that are higher than its debut haul. The film saw weekend-to-weekend increases between its first and second weekends and then its second and third weekends. Obsession’s two recent weekend-to-weekend drops were just 7 percent and 25 percent.

The Curry Barker film will easily pass the $200 million mark in North America by this time next week.

3. Scary Movie

Weekend gross: $14.5M
Total domestic gross: $84.6M
Last weekend: 1st
Percent drop: 73

I had a hunch that we’d see Scary Movie take a tumble in its second weekend. The franchise-record $54.3 million that the sixth film in the series opened with felt hollow. I was right.

The confusingly named Scary Movie (seriously, stop reusing titles if you’re not rebooting a franchise) followed up that franchise-record debut with the biggest drop between the first and second weekends for a Scary Movie film. While Scary Movie 2 (53 percent), Scary Movie 3 (58 percent), Scary Movie 4 (58 percent) and Scary Movie V (57 percent) all had significant first-to-second-weekends drops, the latest Scary Movie blew those numbers away.

4. Backrooms

Weekend gross: $11.3M
Total domestic gross: $160M
Last weekend: 3rd
Percent drop: 57

Sure, Backrooms’s $160 million domestic haul is great, but more than half of that number came via the film’s first weekend. The Kane Parsons film has fallen 68 percent and 57 percent over the two weekends since its opening, falling to fourth place.

That big $81.4 million debut gave Backrooms some fantastic headlines, but I don’t know if I’d take that over Obsession’s continued defiance of box office expectations despite never having a No. 1 weekend of its own.

5. Masters of the Universe

Weekend gross: $8.7M
Total domestic gross: $46.7M
Last weekend: 2nd
Percent drop: 71

Amazon MGM Studios might be pretending that it’s pleased with Masters of the Universe’s box office performance, but now that the film has fallen 71 percent after a disappointing $29.4 million opening weekend, I can’t imagine director Travis Knight will have a shot at expanding the story with a sequel.
