Steven Spielberg Achieves EGOT at 79 as 'Disclosure Day' Opens After $10.7 Billion Career

Summary
Steven Spielberg, 79, said his June 12 release "Disclosure Day" arrives after he secured an EGOT earlier in 2026, adding to a career that has made him the highest-grossing director.
More than $10.7 billion in box-office receipts and three Oscars — including two for directing — underpin that milestone, even as Spielberg says he still starts each project by asking whether audiences will buy it.
The new sci-fi thriller follows two commercial misses, 2021's "West Side Story" and 2022's "The Fabelmans," and had been framed as a blockbuster comeback after development began in 2023.
"Disclosure Day" also fits Spielberg's more personal streak: he called filmmaking therapeutic, while the movie has been described as an original UFO actioner blending spectacle with themes of religion and moral obligation.
