Isabela Merced with her hand over her mouth in Alien: Romulus
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. The Big Picture In a long-awaited win for both director Fede Álvarez and the venerable Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus managed to post massive numbers in its global box office debut. The science-fiction thriller delivered the series’ second-biggest debut at the domestic box office, while passing a major milestone globally.
The last installment, Alien: Covenant, concluded its global run with just under $240 million, against a reported budget of less than $100 million. Released in 2017 and directed by Scott himself, Alien: Covenant served as a direct follow-up to Scott’s ambitious but divisive 2012 reboot, Prometheus. That film remains something of a pinnacle for the franchise, having grossed over $125 million domestically and more than $400 million worldwide, against a reported budget of $125 million.
The movie currently sits at a “fresh” 81% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with the audience score standing at a slightly better 86%. Alien: Romulus also earned a B+ CinemaScore from opening day crowds. In his review Collider’s Ross Bonaime wrote that the film “has a promising beginning and end, but the middle gets a bit too muddled in nostalgia for this franchise.” Starring Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, David Jonsson and Archie Renaux, Alien: Romulus is playing in theaters.
