The movie release schedule in 2026 is going to be crazy, and we’re seeing just how much by the fact that Steven Spielberg’s untitled blockbuster is fleeing its release date. Universal Pictures has moved Spielberg’s sci-fi UFO movie penned by David Koepp from its May 15th 2025 slot to June 12th. That avoids the unfavorable position it had between Avengers: Doomsday and The Mandalorian & Grogu. While analysts were salivating at the potential heavyweight showdown, clearly Universal execs were less thrilled.
There’s another reason for this move, however. Director duo The Daniels’ follow-up to Everything Everywhere All At Once is further behind and so the event film has vacated the June 12th spot with a new date to be announced soon.
Spielberg’s movie, rumored to be titled Disclosure, has a cast led by Josh O’Connor (Challengers), Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), Colin Firth (The King’s Speech), and Eve Hewson (Flora & Son). The UFO film is based on an original idea by Spielberg, scripted by Jurassic Park writer David Koepp.
The move is an easy win for Spielberg. On June 12th his film will face the Scary Movie reboot. A week earlier is the live-action Masters of the Universe, while a week later on June 19th is Toy Story 5.
