Director Fede Álvarez unleashed ‘Alien: Romulus’ to the world and seems to have sprung new life into the franchise — especially with ‘Romulus’ being the seventh instalment.
The 20th Century and Disney R-rated sci-fi/horror flick reached $45.5 million over the weekend, accumulating to $108.2 million worldwide.
‘Alien Romulus’ opened up to rave critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with some critics hailing it as “on-par” with the Sigourney Weaver originals. Much like the critics, fans are having a good time with the sci-fi film, as the audience score on RT sits at 86% from over 2500 verified reviews.

The film is set between the events of Ridley Scott’s 1979 ‘Alien’ and James Cameron’s 1986 sequel, ‘Aliens.’ LOGLINE: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonists come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.
2024 has proven to be a rebound for Disney (owner of 20th Century Studios — formerly known as 20th Century Fox) with films like ‘Inside Out 2’ reaching a current animated film record of $1.625 billion at the box office, and smash hit ‘Deadpool And Wolverine’ with $1.14 billion (the first R-rated MCU film now sits at No. 2).
‘Alien: Romulus’ stars Cailee Spaeny (‘Civil War' and ‘Priscilla’) as the lead character Rain, alongside David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced and Spike Fearn.
