How Long Is Disclosure Day?
While Universal Pictures hasn't officially announced the runtime, Disclosure Day is expected to run approximately 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes. This estimate is based on Spielberg's recent films and the epic scope of the subject matter.
Why This Estimate? Spielberg's dramatic films tend to run 2+ hours to allow proper character development. Given Disclosure Day's multiple storylines (Sarah's first contact, Webb's whistleblowing, government response), a runtime in the 2h 15m-2h 30m range would provide adequate space for all arcs.

What Is Disclosure Day's Rating?
The official MPAA rating has not been announced, but Disclosure Day is expected to receive a PG-13 rating. This prediction is based on several factors:
- Spielberg's style - His recent sci-fi films have been PG-13
- Commercial strategy - PG-13 allows widest audience reach
- Subject matter - First contact themes don't require R-rated content
- Summer release - Family-friendly positioning for June release
Expected Rating: PG-13
For intense sci-fi sequences, thematic elements, and some frightening images
What to Expect Content-Wise
Based on Spielberg's filmmaking approach and the trailer, Disclosure Day likely contains:
- Intense sequences - Suspenseful alien contact scenes
- Thematic complexity - Government conspiracy, existential questions
- Frightening imagery - Alien presence may be unsettling
- Mild language - Standard PG-13 dialogue
- No graphic violence - Spielberg's restraint in alien films
Family Viewing Note: If rated PG-13, Disclosure Day should be appropriate for most viewers 13 and older. Parents of younger children may want to assess based on their child's comfort with suspenseful or frightening content.

Is Disclosure Day Rated R?
No, Disclosure Day is not expected to be rated R. Spielberg has not made an R-rated film since Schindler's List (1993) and Saving Private Ryan (1998), both of which dealt with historical violence. His science fiction films have consistently received family-friendly ratings.
An R rating would also limit the film's audience, which would be counterproductive for a summer blockbuster with wide commercial ambitions.
