Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ Eyes $65M Global Opening on $115M Budget
Steven Spielberg’s political thriller Disclosure Day is tracking for a $35 million domestic and $65 million worldwide debut when it opens June 12. The film — starring Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor as a whistleblower and her attorney — carries a $115 million production budget and arrives with an 85% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics. Analysts note the mid-range tracking reflects strong critical goodwill but softer audience awareness than a typical Spielberg tentpole, with the opening weekend seen as pivotal for the film’s awards-season positioning and international box office momentum.

Sony DMCA Confirms Leaked ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Trailer; Official Drop Set for June 17
Sony Pictures accidentally confirmed the existence of a second Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer by issuing DMCA takedowns against the June 7 leak, inadvertently validating its contents. The footage reportedly features Sadie Sink as a Phoenix-inspired villain with Jean Grey–like powers, a Hulk fight sequence, and fresh glimpses of the web-slinger’s new suit. Sony’s official trailer reveal remains scheduled for June 17 at the Amsterdam Global Fan Event, which the studio confirmed will proceed as planned despite the leak already generating substantial pre-release buzz and massive organic social media engagement across platforms.

‘Project Hail Mary’ Heads to MGM+ on June 18 — Not Prime Video
Amazon MGM Studios confirmed that Project Hail Mary, the Ryan Gosling sci-fi hit directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, will begin streaming on June 18 exclusively on MGM+ — the studio’s premium add-on tier, not Prime Video. The film ends its theatrical window after grossing over $343 million domestically and roughly $681 million worldwide on a $200 million budget. MGM+ is priced at $7.99/month and is not bundled with a Prime subscription, a distribution choice that signals MGM’s intent to use the streamer as a premium pay-one window for its biggest theatrical releases.

Netflix Unscripted Chief Jeff Gaspin Exits; Role Will Not Be Replaced
Jeff Gaspin, Netflix’s VP of Unscripted Series, is departing the streamer effective July 1 after two years in the role — and the position will not be backfilled. The exit, described as a joint decision with his boss Brandon Riegg, VP of Nonfiction and Sports, reflects a broader restructuring of Netflix’s unscripted leadership. Gaspin will transition to a producing deal with the streamer, continuing work on projects already in development including Monopoly and Physical 100: USA. Gaspin previously served as Chairman of NBCUniversal Television Entertainment before joining Netflix in 2024.
