'Black Bag' Recruits Audiences for its Thrilling Opening CinemaScore
Steven Soderbergh's romantic spy film, Black Bag, has received a fitting CinemaScore rating in its opening weekend.

Director Steven Soderbergh's second film of the year, the espionage thriller Black Bag, debuted this Friday to exceptionally positive reviews. It landed in theaters only a few weeks after Soderbergh's other 2025 release, the innovative horror film Presence. Starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett in the lead roles, Black Bag is an exercise in cinematic style, like most of Soderbergh's recent output. The movie is aiming for modest box office returns this weekend, as it competes for eyeballs against fellow new release Novocaine, starring Jack Quaid.
