Disney's 'Alien: Romulus' maintained its grip on the U.K. and Ireland box office, earning $2.6 million in its second week of release.

The weekend’s limited engagements and anniversary screenings include Sony Pictures’ one-week run of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” Paramount’s 55th-anniversary 4K reissue of “The Italian Job,” the 40th-anniversary 4K restoration of James Cameron’s “The Terminator” from Park Circus, who are also bowing the 4K restoration of “Ocean’s Eleven,” while EMG (Enriched Media Group) debuts documentary “Point of Change” for one day only.
