Alien: Romulus is performing very well for its first weekend in theaters! The Fede Alvarez picture has generated over $41 million at the box office for Disney & 20th Century Studios so far and is expected to conclude the weekend with a take well over $42 million. This beats out Ridley Scott's last Alien entry Alien: Covenant back in 2017 - which earned $36 million during its first weekend debut. However, while Romulus has managed to dethrone Deadpool & Wolverine, it was unable to dethrone Prometheus as the franchise's box office champion. Ridley Scott's original Alien prequel earned $10 million more than Romulus back in 2012 during its debut weekend, taking home $51 million total.
