Will ‘Alien: Romulus’ Continue Disney’s Summer Box Office Streak?
"Alien: Romulus" is expected to rip into the box office with $28 million to $38 million in its first weekend of release.
“Alien: Romulus” is the only new release of the weekend since Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” (originally dated for Aug. 16) was taken off the calendar. Disney originally commissioned “Alien: Romulus,” led by Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson and Isabela Merced, for Hulu but switched to theatrical before filming commenced. Fede Alvarez (“Don’t Breathe”) directed “Alien Romulus,” the seventh entry in the sci-fi horror franchise that began in 1979 with Ridley Scott‘s “Alien.” Set between the events of that film and the 1986 sequel “Aliens,” the newest installment follows a group of young intergalactic colonists who come face to face with a terrifying life form while they’re scavenging a rundown space station.
