Why PG-13 is Expected
Disclosure Day has not yet received its official MPAA rating, but PG-13 is almost certain based on:
- Spielberg's history with UFO films (all PG or PG-13)
- Universal's desire for wide audience appeal
- Trailer tone suggests thriller, not horror
- Cast appeal to family audiences
Expected Content
Scary/Intense
Likely intense alien encounter scenes, possession imagery, suspense
Violence
Probably minimal — more psychological tension than graphic violence
Language
Expect some strong language within PG-13 limits
Themes
Government secrecy, existential fear, first contact

Is It Appropriate for Kids?
Based on the trailer, Disclosure Day appears to have some intense moments — particularly Emily Blunt's possession scene. Parents of younger children should be prepared for:
- Frightening imagery of involuntary possession
- Tension and suspense throughout
- Themes that may require explanation (government cover-ups, alien life)
Recommendation: Likely appropriate for ages 10+ with parental guidance. Younger children may find it too intense.
