Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus Surpasses Box Office Expectations

Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus has reached a remarkable milestone, surpassing the $50 million mark at the US Box Office. This impressive feat is coupled with an international haul of $68 million, bringing the worldwide total to $118 million after just five days. With a reported budget of $80 million, executives will likely be pleased that the target doubling of investment will be hit soon, with just $40 million left to take before that becomes a reality. The movie’s success is no coincidence, with many praising it as a fantastic addition to the franchise, both visually and narratively satisfying.

The film’s visuals are particularly noteworthy, with Alvarez and cinematographer Galo Olivares creating a “lived-in” vibe that feels both futuristic and outdated. There’s a sense of comfort for viewers as they step onto the ships that look oddly familiar to fans of the series. The film’s narrative is also praised, as it combines deadly creatures and ancient ruins to form a terrifying narrative that forces the team’s survival into a desperate battle against the relentless xenomorphs.

Despite facing competition from other releases such as Deadpool and Wolverine, Alien: Romulus has managed to rise above the fray and continue its impressive performance. In fact, an unlikely competitor has emerged in the form of Coraline, the Henry Selick-helmed stop-motion flick that took audiences by storm 15 years ago. The anniversary of its release has led to a triumphant return to theaters, with many millions in ticket sales.

As the competition at the Box Office continues, it’s likely that Alien: Romulus will continue to impress. With its impressive performance at the domestic Box Office, it’s clear that the movie has officially surpassed $50 million. Fans of the franchise can catch Álvarez’s interquel right now in theaters, where it will likely continue to thrill audiences with its terrifying narrative and impressive visuals.
