After directing the semi-autobiographical drama The Fabelmans in 2022, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg is gearing up for his next project starring Emily Blunt in the lead. We’re talking about his latest directorial effort, Disclosure Day, which explores extraterrestrial life and UFOs and is slated to hit U.S. theaters on June 12, 2026. Alongside Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Avengers: Doomsday, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three, and Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Digger, Disclosure Day is certainly one of the most eagerly anticipated films of 2026.

In addition to Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and War of the Worlds (2005), Steven Spielberg directed the iconic sci-fi film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), which grossed $797.3 million worldwide. Now, all eyes are on how his upcoming alien-themed movie, Disclosure Day, performs at the box office. With that in mind, let’s take a look at how much it must earn worldwide to crack the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s top five highest-grossing films of all time at the global box office.

Steven Spielberg’s Top Five Highest-Grossing Films (Worldwide)

Here are the five highest-grossing films directed by Steven Spielberg at the worldwide box office, according to data from Box Office Mojo.

Jurassic Park (1993): $1.103 billion
E.T. the Extra‑Terrestrial (1982): $797.3 million
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008): $786.6 million
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997): $618.6 million
Ready Player One (2018): $607.9 million

Based on the figures above, Disclosure Day would need to surpass Ready Player One’s $607.9 million worldwide total to crack the top five highest-grossing films directed by Steven Spielberg. Whether it can achieve this milestone would depend on a strong domestic opening, steady support from international markets, positive word of mouth, and consistent weekday and weekend holds, at least during the first month of its release.

What’s Disclosure Day All About?

While the story is largely under wraps, the film reportedly follows a small-town meteorologist (played by Emily Blunt) whose ordinary life is turned upside down after clear evidence of extraterrestrial life is discovered. As panic and uncertainty spread, humanity is forced to confront the unsettling truth that it is not alone. The film also features Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo.
