The summer movie season is heating up with a great mix of legendary directors and new internet creators taking over the box office. Steven Spielberg just dropped his new alien movie and it is making waves while a low budget horror film keeps breaking records. Here is what you need to know about this weekend.
Spielberg Brings the Aliens Back
Disclosure Day just opened with forty four million dollars in the domestic box office and that is a really huge deal. This is his first big summer popcorn movie in a long time and people are clearly excited to see what he made.
Breaking His Own Box Office Records
This brand new UFO movie actually gave Spielberg his biggest opening weekend for an original film ever. It is pretty awesome to see a legend still pulling in massive crowds without having to rely on a sequel or a remake.
Older Crowds Are Loving the Show
A lot of the people buying tickets for this movie are actually over thirty five years old. It seems like the older generation really loves a good sci fi thriller especially when it has that classic Spielberg magic sprinkled all over it.
The Story and the Star Cast
The movie is all about a huge race to prove that aliens are actually living right here among us on Earth. It stars Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor and they are trying to uncover some secret government evidence about these extraterrestrial visitors.
Obsession Just Will Not Slow Down
This incredibly creepy horror movie directed by a YouTube creator named Curry Barker is somehow making more money every single week. It just earned another nineteen million dollars in its fifth weekend and that is honestly just wild for a small movie.
Breaking Big Global Money Records
The movie Obsession cost less than a million dollars to make and now it is pulling in hundreds of millions worldwide. It is officially the biggest movie ever for the studio that released it and it is beating other major horror films overseas.
Scary Movie Holds the Third Spot
The comedy sequel Scary Movie is still hanging around the top three even though ticket sales dropped a bit this week. It brought in around fifteen million dollars this weekend which shows people still want to laugh at some silly horror movie parodies.
Backrooms Is Still Going Very Strong
Another movie made by a young internet creator is doing incredibly well with over one hundred and sixty million dollars in America. This movie is based on those viral scary videos you see online and it only cost ten million dollars to produce.
Masters of the Universe Falls Behind
The big budget adaptation of the classic cartoon is not doing so great and it dropped a lot in its second week. It only made about nine million dollars this weekend so it looks like people are just not that interested in the nostalgia trip.
Michael Becomes the Biggest Biopic Ever
The new movie about Michael Jackson just broke a massive record by becoming the highest grossing biography movie of all time. It just passed Bohemian Rhapsody and it has collected over nine hundred million dollars from fans all across the globe.
