Cailee Spaeny walking through a yellow tinted spaceship in Alien: Romulus
The Big Picture More than a decade after Prometheus delivered the Alien franchise’s top domestic box office debut, with a $51 million haul across its first three days of release, director Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus settled for the number two spot with an estimated $41 million opening. The film serves as an “interquel” set between the events of director Ridley Scott’s landmark original Alien film, and James Cameron’s equally celebrated sequel, Aliens.
The film opened to mostly positive reviews and enthusiastic fan response. It currently sits at a “fresh” 81% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience score stands at a slightly better 86%. Alien: Romulus also earned a B+ CinemaScore from the opening day crowds, which isn’t exactly worth screaming about, but is above average for a horror film.
