The Mandalorian And Grogu Worldwide Box Office (Photo Credit: Instagram) Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, the latest film in the long-running Star Wars franchise and a follow-up to the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, hit the big screen on May 22, 2026, and will complete four weeks in theaters this Friday.

Disclosure Day: This Steven Spielberg alien mystery is buried beneath a long chase and some poignant questions

Published by Parlour News

When it’s Steven Spielberg, he can sell us anything. A killer shark in Jaws. Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. And, of course, aliens! From ET to Disclosure Day, the man can make us believe in almost anything. Which is why, even as an ardent admirer of the filmmaker, I came away slightly underwhelmed by his latest directorial. A still from Disclosure Day For reasons she cannot explain, meteorologist Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) begins experiencing strange abilities after a cardinal visits her home. She can suddenly read people’s minds and even alter what they see when they look into her eyes. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor) is on the run after stealing a series of tapes containing evidence of what really happened to the extraterrestrial beings who landed on Earth. Pursuing them both is Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth), the powerful head of Wardex. Why these two seemingly unrelated individuals are inexorably drawn towards each other forms the crux of the film. The film begins at a brisk pace and immediately …

Disclosure Day movie review: A gripping Steven Spielberg spectacle | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readJun 12, 2026 02:50 PM IST Disclosure Day movie review: Disclosure Day rolls out smoothly and fully formed from the atelier of the great Steven Spielberg, with humanity – once again – discovering itself in the face of the divine and the unknown. Spielberg himself has described it as the closest to his film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Disclosure Day perhaps dabbles most evidently with the question of God and aliens. And because it’s Spielberg, what you see is what you get. There is talk of a government-military-industrial nexus, but it is suggestive of an older time, not now, when the President’s family and the biggest weapons profiteers are in bed together without raising a scandal. There is talk of “empathy as humanity’s evolutionary advantage”, but nothing about why and where and how fast it is eroding. The only aliens in Spielberg’s film are the ones that come from outer space, and they are the same big-headed, slender-limbed, bug-eyed creatures he favours; the director clearly hasn’t spotted the ones closer …

Disclosure Day review: Steven Spielberg’s tribute to his own greatest hits is indulgent, but with a climax for the ages

Disclosure Day Director: Steven Spielberg Cast: Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, and Wyatt Russell Rating: ★★★⯪ There is a long-running internet joke that when ranking Spielberg films, one can describe a title as ‘seminal, industry-changing’ and then rank it at number 9 in his filmography. Such is the standard of the master filmmaker’s work that even films that one expects nothing but the best from him. Disclosure Day sees him return to the genre most personal to him – science fiction, specifically the search for extraterrestrial life. Naturally, the expectations are high. Spielberg fumbles, falters, but eventually finds his footing. The film is both a thrill-a-minute ride and a philosophical question about who is more dangerous to Earth – aliens or humans themselves. And Spielberg uses all his mastery to mask the faults and, eventually, deliver a climax sequence for the ages. Disclosure Day review: Emily Blunt in a still from the film. What is Disclosure Day? For over 50 years, Steven Spielberg’s films have asked the question: ‘Are we …

Los Angeles, Director Steven Spielberg wanted to add a Bond film to his storied career in Hollywood but was rejected twice and now he believes the makers cannot afford him. Steven Spielberg says Bond franchise can’t afford him, reveals he was previously rejected During a recent interview on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, the “Disclosure Day” director was asked whether he had any regrets about not helming a 007 film. “I have regrets that they didn’t approach me to direct a Bond film. I approached Cubby Broccoli after ‘Jaws’ was a big hit. I’d always wanted to make a James Bond film from the day I saw ‘Dr. No’, so I called Cubby Broccoli after ‘Jaws’ and volunteered. I said, ‘If you need a director, I would love to direct one.’ And he said no and he moved on.” The “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” director then pitched himself again after the release of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” when Broccoli reached out to him asking to use the film’s iconic five-note musical melody in a …
