Alien: Romulus Box Office Passes Major Global Milestone In Opening Weekend

Alien: Romulus has already passed a major milestone at the global box office. The new movie, which was directed by Fede Álvarez and stars Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, is the ninth installment in the science fiction horror franchise which kicked off with the original Ridley Scott classic in 1979. The Alien: Romulus release is off to a solid start, earning a domestic opening weekend of $41.5 million, marking the second-best debut of the franchise behind Prometheus‘ $51 million in 2012.

Per Deadline, as of Sunday morning, the global box office opening weekend for Alien: Romulus is projected to be a total of $108.2 million. This means that the movie is the 23rd movie release to cross the $100 million milestone in 2024, and it has been able to do so in just three days. Additionally, crossing this milestone means that it has already made back its $80 million budget, though it still likely has a way to go in order to hit its break-even point, which may be somewhere in the $160 to $200 million range.
