“Alien: Romulus”, released in 2024, has set a new record at the worldwide box office. Directed by Fede Alvarez and starring Cailee Spaeny, David Johnson, and Archie Renaux, the film is the ninth installment in the franchise. The film grossed a whopping $42 million in its opening weekend, and its box office collection has steadily risen. The film has become the second-highest-grossing Alien film of all time, after Prometheus which was released in 2012 and crossed the $300 million milestone.
As of Sunday morning, “Alien: Romulus” is projected to gross $314.4 million by the end of its fourth weekend in theaters. The film has become the tenth release of this year to cross the $300 million milestone. “The success of Alien: Romulus shows that the appreciation for the franchise is still very much alive and audiences are looking for new experiences,” confirmed a reviewer.
The film is being praised not just for its box office successes, but also for the tremendous efforts put into its production. “Alien: Romulus” has captivated audiences with its unique story and impressive special effects, and is being considered as one of the biggest hits of the year. The film’s success shows how much the combination of sci-fi and horror can attract audiences.
What this milestone means for Alien: Romulus
The latest installment of the Alien franchise, “Alien: Romulus,” recently crossed the $300 million milestone, making it clear that the film has achieved a significant milestone at the box office. While the film is inching closer to the record of Prometheus, which holds the honor of the highest-grossing installment, it is yet to cross the $403.3 million mark. It is now even more interesting to see if Alien: Romulus will be able to surpass this historic figure.
Alien: Romulus has been a box office smash, but Prometheus’ record still remains a big challenge.
The film’s fourth-weekend figures, in which it is expected to earn $3.9 million, show that Alien: Romulus has fallen slightly behind Prometheus. Despite this, the film has been holding the record for the franchise’s second-highest opening weekend for the past few weeks. This confirms that audience interest is still high, although it remains to be seen if this interest can last for a long time.
Meanwhile, looking at Alien: Romulus’ position at the box office, it is clear that the film has achieved remarkable success in its campaign, but Prometheus’ $403.3 million figure remains a big target for it. According to experts, if the film does not manage to increase its performance, it is possible that Alien: Romulus will eventually fall short of Prometheus’ figure. Nevertheless, the film’s popularity and its position at the box office have made it an important milestone in the franchise’s history.
Alien: Romulus dominates box office
The recent release “Alien: Romulus” has performed well at the box office, although it has been unable to become the franchise’s biggest grosser. The film has not only captivated audiences but has also sparked discussions about the possibilities of future films. “Alien: Romulus” has tried to touch new heights with its unique story and complex characters, which has also increased the curiosity about its sequel. “The success of the film has made it clear that the audience is ready to enter even deeper into this universe,” the film’s producer said.
The upcoming “Alien: Earth”, which will be released on the small screen in 2025, marks a turn in the direction of the franchise in a new direction. It will present the world of the series in an even broader form, but with this, there is a risk of overcrowding the market. Nevertheless, the success of “Alien: Romulus” has highlighted the possibilities of an interconnected multimedia universe, which could prove even more interesting for audiences in the future.
