Steven Spielberg's long-awaited return to the world of science fiction was met with rave reviews from critics. Disclosure Day was a big hit with those reviewing, while also receiving generally positive reviews from audiences who went out and saw the sci-fi spectacle on its opening weekend. The momentum really swung in its favor, too, as the film ended up overperforming at the box office around the world, bringing in $93 million in its opening weekend - around $30 million high than initial projects predicted.
The word-of-mouth and overall intrigue has worked for Disclosure Day as moviegoers have continued to head out to theaters to watch it during its first week, increasing hope that the film will continue Steven Spielberg's long streak of his films maintaining long box office legs. That could also result in the Emily Blunt-led movie breaking even at the box office.
However, the film also continues another streak for the legendary director.
Disclosure Day continues Steven Spielberg's no post-credits scene streak
If you're heading out to the cinema this weekend in the hopes of seeing Disclosure Day and want to know whether the film has any extra scenes after the credits roll, you should know that no, the film doesn't feature a post-credits scene. Once the film concludes and the credits begin rolling, that is the definitive end of the story (although you should still stick around for John Williams' epic music, which makes its presence felt after the credits begin).
While post-credits scenes are a fixture of Hollywood these days, Disclosure Day's decision to sidestep them isn't exactly a first for Steven Spielberg. In fact, it continues a long-running trend for the iconic director - one that started all the way back in 1974 with Spielberg's very first theatrical release The Sugarland Express (he had previously directed TV movie Duel which also didn't feature an after credits scene).
That's right: As wild as it is to believe, not a single Steven Spielberg-directed movie includes post-credits scenes. Not Jurassic Park, not ET: The Extra-Terrestrial, not War of the Worlds, and not Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But it's true: While the idea of post-credits scenes have lingered through the years for various purposes, they really rose to prominence due to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's reliance on them to set up future sequels and spinoffs. It all started with 2008's Iron Man and continues as recently as 2025's The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it has really helped to build out the MCU as a shared universe of superheroes and villains.
Even with the trend rising in Hollywood throughout the 2010s - as more franchises like the DCEU, the MonsterVerse, and Disney films all began using them for similar purposes to Marvel Studios - Spielberg avoided the post-credits scenes. That may have been down to his overall reluctance to make sequels or perhaps he just didn't take to them as an art form, but his more recent releases like West Side Story or Ready Player One - the latter of which could have benefitted from one as there is a sequel in development - do not feature post-credits scenes.
If you want to nitpick and look into movies that Spielberg has produced, there are some exceptions - most notably 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - but as Spielberg himself did not direct those movies, they aren't his films in the same way that the ones he did direct are. And thus, with Disclosure Day being his most high-profile film release in years, he has continued to the no post-credits trend with yet another title.
Disclosure Day has arrived in movie theaters now.
