Steven Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ opens No. 1, while ‘Obsession’ sensation continues

Steven Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ opens No. 1, while ‘Obsession’ sensation continuesNEW YORK (AP) — Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day,” billed as his first popcorn movie in years, launched with $44 million in domestic theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“Disclosure Day” opened largely as expected, collecting $92.9 million worldwide over its first weekend. That was good enough to give the 79-year-old Spielberg, who conceived the film’s story, his best opening weekend for an original movie, not accounting to inflation.

Of course, Spielberg is the father of the modern blockbuster. But “Disclosure Day,” released by Universal Pictures, is his first summer movie in 10 years. And it opened in a much different movie world than once greeted “Jaws” or “Jurassic Park.” Its closest competition was the indie horror hit “Obsession,” directed by a YouTuber-turned-filmmaker, Curry Barker, more than 50 years Spielberg’s junior.

“It played very, very evenly across all of the U.S. and Canada,” said Jim Orr, distribution chief for Universal. “It did not come across as a coastal big-market movie. It resonated with everybody.”

While a much-watched NBA finals game might have been expected to depress ticket sales, at least in New York, Orr said there was no noticeable dip in the city’s box office numbers Saturday night.

After Gen Z propelled moviegoing for the last several weeks, a slightly older audience drove interest in “Disclosure Day.” Some 41% of moviegoers were aged 45 and up.

“What’s encouraging is that we had this big an opening with that audience demographic and with the fact that it’s an original film,” said Orr. “So if we’re opening this well, and we think we’re going to have great word-of-mouth, and we have an older audience that doesn’t necessarily rush out on opening weekend, all of that points to a great run through the summer.”

“Disclosure Day” returns Spielberg to the subject of alien life. Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor and Colman Domingo star in a chase to reveal government evidence of UFO encounters. It cost $115 million to make.

While a good start, “Disclosure Day” — like most original movies — will depend on strong legs to be successful. Reviews (80% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) have been strong, though audience response wasn’t overwhelming. The movie landed a “B” CinemaScore.

“It’s off to a solid start,” said Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends for Rentrak. “Let’s see how it plays in the coming weeks. If it holds like some of these other films have, like ‘Project Hail Mary,’ ‘Michael,’ ‘Obsession,’ it will be in good shape. Staying power has been the bread and butter of this year and this summer.”

Meanwhile, the “Obsession” sensation continues. Though it originally opened with $17.2 million, the Focus Features release has exceeded that for four consecutive weekends. It did so again this weekend, collecting $19 million in ticket sales to bring its North American haul to $188.3 million and its worldwide total to $286.5 million.

Having cost less than $1 million to make, “Obsession” ranks among the most profitable releases in recent memory. Focus acquired it for $15 million.

Last weekend’s top film, “Scary Movie,” slid to third place with $14.5 million. The Paramount Pictures release, the sixth entry in the horror spoof franchise, dropped steeply from its opening weekend, down 73%. But with a modest production budget of $30 million, the Miramax-produced sequel is already a considerable success. Its two-week domestic total is $88.6 million.

A24’s “Backrooms” added $11.3 million domestically in its third weekend. It’s rapidly grossed $262.3 million globally.

In its second weekend, Amazon MGM’s “Masters of the Universe” fell fast following a disappointing launch. Its box office dropped 71% with $8.7 million. Its two-week domestic total stands at $46.7 million

Next weekend, The Walt Disney Co.’s “Toy Story 5” opens with big expectations at the box office.

Helicopter with singer Oliver Tree on passenger list collides with another in Brazil, killing 6

Helicopter with singer Oliver Tree on passenger list collides with another in Brazil, killing 6RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Two helicopters collided over Rio de Janeiro on Sunday morning and crashed in the city’s western zone, killing all six people aboard, firefighters said.

Rio de Janeiro’s Military Fire Department said that one of the helicopters crashed on the parking lot of a car dealership, where several electric vehicles were parked, igniting a fire that was extinguished.

Officials said an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the collision.

Police said that American singer and comedian Oliver Tree was on the list of passengers handed to aviation authorities, but have not been able to identify the bodies of those killed in the crash.

Tree performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina on June 4, and published a video on his Instagram Saturday where he is playing soccer in a Brazilian neighborhood.

Argentine streaming channel Blender said that content creator Gaspar Prim Díaz — also known as Gaspi — was in one of the helicopters.

Gaspi had more than 2.8 million followers on YouTube and was 23.

“Thanks for your art, your magic and your sensibility, every one of us will miss you,” Blender said on its X account.

Fernandes de Freitas, a tire repair worker, said he saw one of the helicopters in flames following the midair collision, and noticed that one of the passengers jumped out of the other aircraft, before it hit the ground. “It was terrifying, absolutely horrifying,” De Freitas said.

Four shot, two hit by vehicle at large gathering

CROCKETT – Four people were shot and two people were hit by a vehicle after violence erupted at a large event in Crockett on Saturday night, according to Crockett police and our news partner, KETK.

Police said officers responded to reports of gunshots fired in the area of the 1100 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at around 10:20 p.m. on Saturday.

Crockett Police Department officers, Houston County Sheriff’s Office deputies, EMS units and troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety all responded to the scene of a “large event” where Crockett PD said a “significant” number of people and vehicles were gathered when gunshots rang out.

Officials learned that at least four people were shot at the scene and that at least two other people had been hit by a vehicle. All six people have been taken to a hospital for treatment.

Crockett PD is currently investigating, and they believe any suspects have fled the area. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Caleb Newsome at 936-544-2862 or by email at [email protected].

All 12 occupants dead in Missouri plane crash, state highway patrol says

All 12 occupants dead in Missouri plane crash, state highway patrol saysUTLER, Mo. (AP) — A plane carrying passengers planning to spend a sunny afternoon skydiving crashed Sunday in Missouri, killing all 12 people aboard, authorities said.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a statement that troopers were on the scene, assisting the Butler Police Department & Bates County Sheriff’s Office. The crash occurred near the Butler Memorial Airport. The small town of Butler has a population of around 4,300 people and is roughly 65 miles (105 kilometers) south of Kansas City.

Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Justin Ewing said the plane was taking people up to skydive. Emergency responders got a call that a plane was down and engulfed in fire around 11:30 a.m. Sunday morning, he said.

Emergency responders were able to extinguish the fire shortly after the crash, Ewing said, calling the scene “brutal.”

“It landed in a field adjacent to the airport, but I think they’re shutting down the roadway just as a precaution,” Ewing said.

Teams from the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration were en route to the crash site Sunday afternoon to investigate, according to the Missouri State Patrol.

The private plane was operated by Skydive Kansas City, said Dennis Jacobs, the acting airport manager and Bates County Emergency Management Agency director.

“It had just taken off and made a left turn” before the crash, Jacobs said. “In my opinion I think it was losing power, and he was trying to make it over to the highway and land, and he stalled and went down nose first and caught fire.”

First responders have checked the area under the flight path and did not find anyone who might have tried to jump out before the crash, Jacobs said

The Pacific Aerospace 750XL that crashed is a single engine turboprop plane model that’s popular for skydiving but has also proven useful for other uses, including cargo, aerial surveying and medical evacuation flights. The aircraft can carry as many as 17 skydivers and is capable of taking off and landing on short runways. The plane that crashed Saturday was manufactured in 2010, according to FAA records.

The small airport serves around 30 aircraft, all privately owned, including crop dusting companies and sky dive operators, Ewing said.

Sky diving companies operate in the region eight or nine months a year, with the season usually starting in late March or early April and lasting into October or November. Someone answering the phone at Skydive Kansas City declined to speak to a reporter from The Associated Press.

Nara Organics recalls baby formula sold at Target after multistate infant botulism outbreak

Nara Organics recalls baby formula sold at Target after multistate infant botulism outbreakSAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Nara Organics recalled its organic baby formula sold nationwide in Target stores and online Saturday after a multistate outbreak of infant botulism, federal authorities said.

Three babies between 2 and 5 months became ill in April and May in California, Pennsylvania and Washington after consuming Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Powdered infant formula, which is also sold on Nara.com, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.

They were hospitalized and treated with the FDA-approved treatment for infant botulism, the agency said.

Infant botulism is a rare but serious illness that occurs in babies under age 1, whose gut microbiomes are immature. It is caused when infants consume bacteria with spores that produce a toxin in the gut.

Symptoms include constipation, poor feeding, drooping eyelids, weak muscle tone, difficulty swallowing and breathing problems, among others.

Babies who develop those symptoms need immediate medical attention. The sole treatment is BabyBIG, an IV medication made from blood plasma of people immunized against botulism.

Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula makes up less than 1% of all infant formula sold in the United States, and the outbreak does not create shortage concerns for parents and caregivers, the FDA said.

People who have the formula are urged to stop using it immediately, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said in a statement. The formula is manufactured in Europe but sold only in the U.S., it added.

The CDC recommended that anyone with an opened can take a picture, record the lot number and use-by date and watch their infants for symptoms.

“Label it ‘DO NOT USE’ and keep it stored in a safe place away from other items you feed your baby for at least a month,” the CDC said. “If no symptoms appear after a month, throw the leftover formula away.”

Wings’ Bueckers out vs. Fire, day-to-day with ankle injury

PORTLAND, Ore. — Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers missed Saturday’s 84-83 loss to the Portland Fire because of a right ankle injury.

Dallas coach Jose Fernandez said Bueckers will be day-to-day.

“It’s a long season,” Fernandez said before the game. “Paige is who she is. Trust me, Paige wants to be on the floor tonight. But the best thing for her longevity, for her career, for the franchise is making sure we take care of her, and she takes care of her body.”

Bueckers suffered the injury midway through the second quarter of the Wings’ matchup against the Minnesota Lynx on Thursday. She briefly went to the tunnel during a timeout but was back on the court less than one minute later. She later said she went back to get her ankle taped up.

Bueckers went on to score a season-high 31 points on 14-of-20 shooting, six rebounds and five assists. The 2025 No. 1 pick, she is averaging 19.8 points this season on 32.4 minutes.

“Adrenaline is the best drug, so [I] didn’t really feel it during the game,” Bueckers said after the contest. “Just wanted to power through, help the team get a win.”

Hernandez said Bueckers got treatment on the team’s flight to Portland on Friday and then had more work done on her ankle Saturday morning. Initially, she was listed as questionable before being downgraded to out about three hours before tipoff.

The Wings (8-5) are 3-2 in Commissioner’s Cup play and will host the defending champion Las Vegas Aces on Monday.

Rangers place Evan Carter on 10-day IL with oblique strain

BOSTON — The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Evan Carter on the 10-day injured list because of an oblique strain.

The team announced the move before Saturday’s game against the Boston Red Sox.

Carter left Friday’s game after making a diving catch in the fourth inning. The 23-year-old is batting .176 with six home runs and 21 RBIs over 66 games this season.

Taking Carter’s spot on the Rangers’ roster is infielder Cody Freeman, who was in Saturday’s starting lineup. Freeman appeared in one game for Texas earlier this month and was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock.

For the second straight day, the Rangers had a starting lineup that didn’t include All-Star shortstop Corey Seager.

Texas manager Skip Schumaker said Seager was “day to day” before Saturday’s game. Seager reportedly felt soreness after a home plate collision that occurred during the first inning of Thursday’s game against Kansas City.

“A lot better today, but not enough to play,” Schumaker said.

Also, the Rangers added right-hander Joe Ross and optioned right-hander Luis Curvelo. Texas signed the 33-year-old Ross to a minor league deal last month. He had a 2.92 ERA in seven games at Triple-A Round Rock.

Volchko’s 15-strikeout complete game, Volantis’ struggle lead to Georgia’s 7-1 CWS win over Texas

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Joey Volchko struck out a career-high 15 in his first complete game and Georgia capitalized on Texas ace Dylan Volantis’ horrific first inning to win 7-1 in a showdown of the Southeastern Conference’s top two teams at the College World Series on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs’ first appearance in Omaha since 2008 will continue Monday night when they play Oklahoma for control of all-SEC Bracket 2. The Longhorns meet Alabama in a Monday elimination game.

Volchko (11-2) fanned nine of the first 13 batters he faced, allowed just four singles and didn’t issue a walk until the ninth inning of his 114-pitch masterpiece.

“One of the most impressive complete game performances I’ve been a part of,” Georgia coach Wes Johnson said.

When Volchko struck out Temo Becerra to end the game, he spun around, spread his arms and let out a scream before embracing catcher Daniel Jackson.

“We knew who we were going to attack with what, how we were going to flip in between times through the order,” said Volchko, who mixed a curveball and sweeper with his fastball and hit his spots all night. “There was a lot of preparation. There was a lot of comfort in that. I felt like when I got out there, things slowed down a little bit, as opposed to speed up.”

Georgia (52-12) improved to 6-0 in the NCAA Tournament and has won 20 of its last 21 games since April 25. Texas (45-14) has lost four straight in the CWS over three appearances since 2021.

Volantis (10-2) had a frustrating night. He allowed only four hits and struck out nine in 6 1/3 innings, but had two wild pitches and hit four batters after having plunked a total of seven entering the game.

The sophomore left-hander threw 41 pitches in the first inning as almost anything that could go wrong for the Longhorns did.

Georgia’s scoring started with Rylan Lujo’s two-run homer off the left-field foul pole, only the third allowed by Volantis in 89 innings this season.

The bases were loaded with two outs after Volantis hit two batters around the first of catcher Carson Tinney’s two botched throws to first after dropped third strikes. It was 4-0 after Kolby Branch swung and missed on a wild pitch in the dirt. The ball bounced off Tinney, who picked it up and threw wide to first, allowing two runners to come home.

“I mean that stuff happens. He’s been phenomenal all year-round,” Volantis said of Tinney. “For me, that was the first time that’s happened. I mean that happens. I already told him no worries, man, but we’re going to get that cleaned up.”

Texas capitalized on Volchko’s bad pickoff attempt in the fifth to score its only run, but the Bulldogs broke open the game in the seventh with three runs on two hits, the Longhorns’ third error and a wild pitch.

“From a defensive standpoint, that’s the worst game we’ve played the whole season, which is super disappointing,” Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle said. “On our end, that’s a very bad taste in our mouth. I don’t know if it would have mattered considering Volchko was so awesome but, yeah, that was not good on the part of the Longhorns.”

The Comeback Knicks are the Champion Knicks. Brunson scores 45, and New York tops Spurs for title

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jalen Brunson and the Comeback Knicks did it again. And now they’re the Champion Knicks.

For the first time in 53 years, New York rules the NBA. Brunson scored 45 points, including 13 straight for New York in the fourth quarter, and the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Saturday night.

The Knicks won the series 4-1, rallying from double-digit deficits in all four of those victories. The deficit was 16 on Saturday night. Brunson and the Knicks were never fazed.

“I have no words,” Brunson, the NBA Finals MVP, said during the on-court celebration. “It’s everything I ever dreamed of.”

Brunson, fittingly, closed with a flourish. He set a Knicks record for points in a finals game; it had been 38 by Willis Reed against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the 1970 series. It now belongs to the left-handed point guard who changed the franchise’s fortunes when he arrived four years ago.

“It’s surreal,” Knicks coach Mike Brown, who was hired a year ago — making him the franchise’s 24th coach since the franchise’s last championship in 1973. “I still can’t believe it’s happened.”

Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart — the other two parts of the “Nova Knicks” trio that also includes Brunson, three players who were NCAA champions at Villanova and teamed up in New York to try to do the same — combined to score 27 points. Bridges had 14, Hart 13.

“I don’t know what I’m feeling,” Brunson said. “I’m in awe. Whenever someone counted us out, we found a way to come back and do something about it.”

Dylan Harper scored 25 for the Spurs, who got 19 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots from Victor Wembanyama.

“This is the biggest lesson of my life, the biggest learning moment,” Wembanyama said. “I can’t tell exactly what the lesson is, but we’re learning.”

The Knicks improved to 4-0 in closeout opportunities this season, winning them all on the road. It didn’t feel like the road, though — not with thousands of New York faithful having made the trip to Texas to see a moment 53 years in the making.

And back home, on the streets of the Big Apple, celebrations broke out everywhere. Fireworks lit up the night sky, people honked horns on jampacked streets and firefighters — from their trucks — slapped high-fives with delirious fans.

“HISTORY,” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wrote on social media, then added that the Knicks’ championship parade will be Thursday.

New York got to the brink of this title by rallying from 29 points down in Game 4 to win 107-106 on OG Anunoby’s tip-in with 1.2 seconds left on Wednesday night. It was the largest comeback in NBA Finals history and the biggest comeback in any game this season, regular season or playoffs.

By comparison, then, a 16-point rally in this one seemed easy. And San Antonio had to shuffle off into the offseason, listening to Knicks fans celebrating in their building.

“We weren’t ready to win an NBA championship,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “The better team won. We did a lot of good things, and we didn’t finish the job. That’s what it is.”

The game followed the same script in the opening minutes as all the others in the series, with the Spurs taking a double-digit lead in the first quarter and then frittering most of it away in the second quarter.

The Spurs became the first team in the play-by-play era, which started in the 1996-97 season, to lead five finals games by 10 points or more in first quarters.

The Knicks simply could not make a shot, missing on 16 of their first 18 tries and each of their first 11 two-point attempts. There even was a point in the second quarter when Wembanyama had more blocked shots (five) than the Knicks had made shots (four). San Antonio’s lead was as many as 10 in the first quarter, as many as 16 in the second.

Of course, none of it mattered much. As always, the Knicks came back.

A 22-9 run in the second quarter got New York within three, before Devin Vassell scored just before the halftime buzzer to give San Antonio a 42-37 edge at the break.

And that capped an opening 24 minutes of either offensive ineptitude or defensive prowess, depending on perspective. The 79 combined points in the first half were the lowest in a finals game since Game 7 of Lakers-Celtics in 2010, and the combined 31.8% field goals shooting by the Knicks and Spurs was the lowest in the first half of a finals game in the play-by-play era.

Brunson won NCAA crowns twice with Villanova — both in Texas, the 2016 one in Houston and the 2018 one in San Antonio, just a few miles away from the arena that the Spurs call home.

A Texas three-step of titles, and this one was surely the sweetest of all.

“It’s why I came to New York,” Brunson said.

Astros rally past Royals 8-7 after Altuve ties it and a ninth-inning miscue

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jose Altuve hit a tying home run in the eighth inning, Joey Loperfido scored the go-ahead run when the Royals botched a potential inning-ending double play in the ninth, and the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 8-7 on Saturday night.

The Astros hit four homers in a game delayed for 91 minutes in the eighth due to tornado warnings. Houston has hit multiple homers in three straight games, 10 in all.

Christian Walker hit his 18th home run in the fourth — a two-run shot — and Brice Matthews hit his sixth in the fifth inning to tie the game at 4-all.

Jake Meyers’ sixth-inning solo shot gave the Astros their first lead, 5-4, before Altuve homered to tie it at 7-all moments before the weather delay.

Houston starter Mike Burrows allowed five runs — four earned — in five-plus innings, and has surrendered 10 home runs in his last six starts and 18 on the season, most in the American League.

Bryan King (1-1) struck out one in a hitless eighth and Bryan Abreu pitched the ninth for his fifth save.

The Royals took the lead in the second inning when Jac Caglianone walked and went first-to-third on a grounder before scoring on Michael Massey’s single.

Vinnie Pasquantino delivered an RBI single and Carter Jensen scored on Christian Vázquez’s passed ball for a 3-0 lead in the third.

Lane Thomas added a fourth-inning solo shot into the left-field fountains to make it 4-2.

Jensen doubled twice, including a two-strike, bases-clearing liner to left-center which gave Kansas City a 7-5 lead in the sixth.

Pasquantino left the game in the fifth with a right hand hamate injury after a pop up.

Alex Lange (0-4) allowed a hit and a walk in 1 2/3 innings in the Royals’ fourth straight loss.

Rafaela’s clutch single sends the Red Sox to a 6-3 victory over the Rangers

BOSTON (AP) — Ceddanne Rafaela’s two-run single snapped a tie in the seventh inning as the Boston Red Sox beat the Texas Rangers 6-3 on Saturday.

Rafaela’s two-out, two-strike hit off reliever Robby Ahlstrom with the bases loaded gave the Red Sox a 4-2 lead and helped them clinch their first series win at Fenway Park since April 6-8 when they took two of three games from Milwaukee. Boston won Friday’s series opener against Texas, 10-1.

The Rangers closed within one in the eighth when Jake Burger hit his 12th home run, but Boston added some insurance in the bottom half courtesy of Jarren Duran’s two-run homer. It was Duran’s 11th of the season.

Pitching for the first time since June 5, Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman got three outs to earn his 14th save. Garrett Whitlock (4-1) worked a perfect seventh and was the second of five relievers used by Boston.

Texas leadoff batter Wyatt Langford finished with three hits and an RBI. Rangers right-hander Cole Winn (2-2) gave up two hits in the seventh and took the loss.

Mickey Gaspar and Wilyer Abreu each had an RBI single to help Boston build a 2-1 lead in the third.

Red Sox starter Ranger Suarez allowed two runs and six hits in five innings. The left-hander struck out seven and walking two.

Texas ace Jacob deGrom went six innings and left with the game tied at 2. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner had five strikeouts and didn’t issue a walk.

The Rangers were without All-Star shortstop Corey Seager for the second straight game. He was deemed day-to-day by manager Skip Schumaker. Seager’s absence can be traced back to a collision at the plate Thursday against Kansas City.

James Harden is arrested in Houston on a misdemeanor charge of carrying a weapon in a motor vehicle

HOUSTON (AP) – Cleveland Cavaliers player James Harden was arrested on Saturday in Houston on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon in a motor vehicle, according to the Harris County District Clerk’s Office.

Harden was arrested at 3:41 a.m. and booked just before 5 a.m., then posted $100 bond and was released from police custody, according to charging documents, which said he had a handgun in plain view that was not in a holster.

His arraignment is scheduled for June 22, according to the clerk’s office website. Harden is listed as a Houston resident in court documents.

“The Cleveland Cavaliers are aware of the arrest of James Harden this morning and are in the process of gathering additional information,” the team said in a statement. “We are in contact with James and his representation and will continue to monitor developments as they become available. At this time, we will have no further comment.”

A message sent to Harden’s representatives from The Associated Press seeking comment was not immediately returned.

Harden, 36, just finished his 17th NBA season and has the right to exercise a $42.3 million option to return to the Cavaliers next season. He indicated when Cleveland’s playoff run ended with a loss to the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals that he would like to remain with the club, which would suggest he’s willing to forgo the option in favor of a longer contract with the Cavaliers.

Harden is an 11-time All-Star and an eight-time All-NBA selection who earned MVP honors in the 2017-18 season while playing for the Houston Rockets.
