Box Office: ‘Alien: Romulus’ Scares Up $108 Million Globally, ‘It Ends With Us’ Surpasses $180 Million


"Alien: Romulus" scared up $108 million in its global box office debut while "It Ends With Us" notched a notable benchmark after 10 days of release.

Disney, the studio behind the newest chapter in the long-running sci-fi horror saga, reported that overseas ticket sales are pacing ahead of “A Quiet Place: Day One” by 47% and fellow “Alien” installment “Prometheus” by 17% in like-for-like markets at current exchange rates. “Alien: Romulus,” directed by Fede Alvarez (“Don’t Breathe”), is the seventh installment in franchise that began 45 years ago with Ridley Scott’s 1979 monster adventure “Alien.” This entry cost $80 million and centers on young intergalactic colonists (Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux and Isabela Merced among them) who come face to face with a terrifying life form while they’re scavenging a rundown space station. With those ticket sales, the adaptation Colleen Hoover’s literary sensation has surpassed a remarkable $180 million globally after just 10 days of release.
