The movie’s opening was largely as expected, with a strong performance across all U.S. and Canadian theaters. ‘It played very, very evenly across all of the U.S. and Canada,’ said Jim Orr, distribution chief for Universal.

The film’s closest competition was the indie horror hit ‘Obsession,’ directed by Curry Barker. ‘Disclosure Day’ stars Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, and Colman Domingo in a chase to reveal government evidence of UFO encounters.

The movie’s success is a good start, but it will depend on strong legs to be successful. Reviews have been strong, with an 80% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie landed a ‘B’ CinemaScore.

Meanwhile, the ‘Obsession’ sensation continues, with the film collecting $19 million in ticket sales to bring its North American haul to $188.3 million and its worldwide total to $286.5 million.
