Steven Spielberg's sci-fi film 'Disclosure Day' suffered a massive 76% box office drop in its second weekend, revealing a growing generational divide in moviegoing.

The article explores how Hollywood's reliance on franchise IP and superhero films has created a disconnect with younger demographics, who prefer streaming and social media content. The film's poor performance signals a broader shift in entertainment consumption habits and challenges traditional theatrical release models.
