Steven Spielberg needs 'The Day of Revelation' to earn 350 million. It won't make more than 35 in its opening weekend

It’s not Steven Spielberg’s fault. Really. After his last two unjustified failures (The Fabelmans and West Side Story), the director has tried to keep his latest film, The Day of Revelation, to a minimum, shooting a blockbuster for only 115 million dollars, which, in theory, he could recover without much effort. However, the marketing department has spent another 80 million promoting it, creating such a bubble that it’s almost impossible for it to recover. Oops.

It’s not Steven Spielberg’s fault. Really. After his last two unjustified failures (The Fabelmans and West Side Story), the director has tried to keep his latest film, The Day of Revelation, under the radar, making a blockbuster for only 115 million dollars, which, in theory, he could recover without much effort. However, the marketing department has spent another 80 million promoting it, creating such a bubble that it’s almost impossible for him to recover it. Oops.

A Box Office from Another World

For now, Deadline is already announcing that the box office for the first weekend is not going to be what is expected, and it will have to settle for -gulp- 35 million dollars in the United States. And if you know anything about box office, you’ll know that it’s not so common to make ten times more over the course of its run. After all, Spielberg is still a summer classic, but it’s not what it used to be. Sadly.

Additionally, the director has three additional problems. The first is the performance of Obsession and Backrooms at the box office, which will steal adult (or at least teenage) moviegoers. The second is Toy Story 5, which premieres the following week and marks the start of the summer blockbuster season. Let’s see how he faces the impossible.

The good part is that it will surely have number 1, especially after Scary Movie drops at the box office rapidly and Masters of the Universe has no chance. It cannot be said that it will console Spielberg if he adds his third consecutive failure, though.

Emily Blunt lives in fear because of AI, and no one can blame her

Not a day goes by without us seeing someone online saying about AI that “it’s the future,” “if you’re against it, you’re like those who opposed the steam engine,” or “it’s the greatest leap in the history of humanity.” Empty words that are soothing a base of unyielding fans, yes, but also creating a deep resistance against the machine of a thousand uses (none of which it does well). The latest to join the group is Emily Blunt, who has completely refused to use it in The Day of Revelation. Luckily The […]

Not a day goes by without someone saying online about AI that “it’s the future,” “if you’re against it, you’re like those who opposed the steam engine,” or “it’s the greatest leap in the history of humanity.” Empty words that are soothing a fanbase of diehards, yes, but also creating a deep resistance against the machine of a thousand uses (none of which it does well). The latest to join the group is Emily Blunt, who has completely refused to use it in The Day of Revelation. Luckily.

The Day of Revelation

Apparently, in a scene, the character has to speak in a non-human language, and the use of AI was proposed to create a sense of unease: “It’s a four-minute scene that we shot that leads to the moment where she starts to gradually disintegrate. There are several ways you can do it. You can take the AI route, which I’m a bit terrified of. I thought there could be some really strange sounds”. Can AI make strange sounds? No? Checkmate.

As we will hear starting on the 12th, Blunt was the one who marked the solution to the problem: “I said that maybe I could make a range of strange sounds. And that’s what we did. I made the clicking sounds, whispering sounds, consonant sounds, strange breathing sounds. The sound designer left and created what we hear in the movie”. Frankly, I would be very disappointed if Steven Spielberg had resorted to AI.

This will be the thirty-seventh film by the director and, it is said, it is one of the good ones. Fantastic, in fact. The kind that only he knows how to make like no one else. And no, it is impossible to be more excited. To the AI, they can take a hike.

"The best movie by Steven Spielberg in 20 years." There is no one who doesn't adore 'The Day of Revelation'

Not long ago, a new Steven Spielberg movie was cause for celebration. But to the extent that the film world talked about nothing else. Sadly, after the unjust failures of The Fabelmans and West Side Story, it cannot be said that expectations for The Day of Revelation are very high, but they should be because, honestly, it looks like it’s going to be the blockbuster we all needed to see. The day has arrived! Although, in general, we should trust very little in the first reactions (after all, it’s people who have gone to an exclusive event, […]

Not long ago, a new movie by Steven Spielberg was cause for celebration. But to the extent that the film world was talking about nothing else. Sadly, after the unjust failures of The Fabelmans and West Side Story, it cannot be said that expectations for The Day of Revelation are very high, but they should be because, honestly, it looks like it’s going to be the blockbuster we all needed to see.

The day has arrived!

Although, in general, we should trust very little in the first reactions (after all, these are people who have attended an exclusive event, and the feeling of exclusivity always adds extra points), even taking this into account, the reactions to The Day of Revelation are being excellent. Germain Lussier from Gizmodo considers it to be “a dense roller coaster ride turned into a chase movie, love story, and mystery, all wrapped in wonder and science fiction. It is Spielberg’s best film in 20 years“. Quite something.

Steven Weintraub from Collider is on the same page: “In a shock to absolutely no one, Steven Spielberg has hit another incredible home run. I could go on and on about what I’ve loved, but I was lucky enough to see the movie knowing almost nothing, and I strongly recommend you do the same. Stop watching the trailers. The only thing I’ll say: Emily Blunt is incredible“. Among people comparing it to a cross between The X-Files and the Bible, and those who think it has more of The Twilight Zone or something completely new, it’s rare to find dissenting opinions.

There are those who believe, in fact, that it is “one of Spielberg’s best, as exciting as Raiders of the Lost Ark but with the emotional texture and increased ambition of his post-9/11 work. From the very beginning Spielberg reminds you that he does these things better than anyone in the history of cinema“. It’s impossible not to be eager for June 12 to arrive.

One of Steven Spielberg's most popular movies has a sequel in development since 2020

Steven Spielberg, recognized as one of the great film directors, will return to the science fiction genre in 2026 with his new project titled The Day of Revelation.

Steven Spielberg, recognized as one of the great film directors, will return to the science fiction genre in 2026 with his new project titled The Day of Revelation. This will be his return to the realm of science fiction after directing The Fabelmans (2022) and West Side Story (2021). Expectations are high among fans, especially considering his previous success with Ready Player One, which premiered in 2018 and grossed 582 million dollars at the box office.

The culprit for not knowing more: COVID

The sequel to Ready Player One, titled Ready Player Two, has been in development since its announcement in 2020. However, various setbacks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and more recently the strikes in Hollywood have affected its progress. Despite these obstacles, the author of the original novel, Ernest Cline, has confirmed that the saga is still in the plans, although Spielberg will only act as a producer this time.

The popularity of Ready Player One is evident in the fact that Cline’s novel remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 100 weeks. With this, the possibility of a sequel is reasonable and has a solid foundation due to the previous success. In this context, a graphic novel of Ready Player One will be released in the fall of 2026, followed by a graphic novel of Ready Player Two scheduled for 2028. According to Cline, this release could serve as a thermometer to gauge fan interest before the official film production is greenlit.

As the development of the sequel continues, fans of the franchise remain hopeful that news will emerge in the coming months, as the production team seeks to make progress on this highly anticipated project in the world of digital entertainment.
