Summer Isn’t Over: Here Comes ‘Alien: Romulus’, Set To Gobble Up $75M Around The World – Box Office Preview
Disney's reboot of 'Alien', 'Alien: Romulus' is looking at $40M stateside, $35M abroad for a $75M global start at the box office.
1 2024 YTD domestic box office domination this weekend and show that’s there’s still flash in their inherited 20th Century Studios logo with the latest rendition of the Ridley Scott produced sci-fi franchise Alien: Romulus. Reviews are still coming in, currently at 85% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, but judging from the response at Monday’s Hollywood Chinese Theatre premiere, Don’t Breathe director Fede Alvarez has delivered an edgy, sophisticated expansion of the 45-year old universe here which centers around a last woman standing warrior (played by Civil War ‘s Cailee Spaeny) against a slew of vampire-like extraterrestrial beasts with a synthetic, trouble-causing android by her side. One reputable tracking firm who we won’t embarrass is seeing Alien: Romulus at a$28M domestic opening, but such org has been wrong quite frequently this summer per sources, unable to correlate presales data to ultimate final weekend outcomes.
