Alien: Romulus is now claiming another major box office record for a horror movie. Since its release in August of this year, the Fede Álvarez horror movie has become one of the highest-grossing installments in the franchise, just behind 2012's Prometheus. It even had an opening weekend of $41.5 million domestically and $108.2 million globally, which is very impressive for just a horror film.
What The Alien: Romulus Box Office Record Means For The Franchise It's Another Huge Box Office Win For The Franchise Close The Alien: Romulus box office record only adds to the long list of achievements since the movie was released in theaters. On top of the impressive weekend debut, the horror movie now sits as the second-highest-grossing Alien movie in the franchise, just behind 2012's Prometheus.
2 The box office feat is also critical given that the film was initially intended for streaming before changing its strategy to theaters. The movie was greenlit in 2021 during the pandemic when movie theaters were struggling due to health and safety measures. It also came at a time when the franchise was struggling with engagement after mixed receptions from Prometheus and Covenant.
