Alien Covenant Worldwide Now: Over $230 Million

Thanks Lawrence of Arabia! Figured it was time for a profile pic, lol. Oh man, that book sounds great...I am probably just going to order it on Amazon. If I wind up with two, I'll similarly foist the extra one onto a friend to enhance our range of conversational topics, like I did with the novel.

Just found the neomorph scaler! It's not for straws, is it? I wish I could find something like that, to put on our straws at the party.

 Where'd you guys/gals get your Alien Covenant shirts from?  Share purchase links please!!

^Just ordered the Amazon shirt - XL/Black.  Thanks for the links!

Unadan I am really liking the hoodie version of this:

@Unadan

Awesome! We got the black shirts too! We're wearing them to a crashed-spaceship-themed escape room!

@dk

That's very cool too!

I also saw a bunch of chestburster shirts, some were like an x-ray showing a chestburster inside and some with like...a picture of the chestburster bursting out with blood and all. I'm definitely gonna get one or two of those.

My guess or assumption is 25% of China is $11 million take home, then roughly $190 million global not China at ,40-50% =$90 million take home so $103m +half of $20 m Japan is $12ish so my rough(generous math) guess is $115 to $105 million studio take before dvd streaming services/income. Who knows what was spent on marketing but maybe they are kinda close to break even or edge of slight profit right now. Bet they hoped for a better showing but is what it is. Will Scott get the chance or sign up for another adventure? I'll be waiting anxiously for the reviews

Kethol: 'Not merchandise sales. The real money comes from the home video sales, streaming, and broadcast sales. Theatrical is typically a money loser, but a necessity to promote the movie.'

Thanks for the info, yes, I was referring to the things you mention, I swept everything under one term, sorry...

China: now 45 million!

South Korea: close to 10 million! Wow!

People might have instincts but then we also have to wonder if what ever it might be about is that important to invest that much interest in. I don’t think that a movie is that important. You mention fright disgust what ever and I am sure that it might have got something to do with why some people watch these movies but you can experience these emotions when you watch the movie but to get that invested in it so you get annoyed or angry when someone has an opposing view about it is just strange, it is just a movie. My point is, choose what you react heavily to, from an objective point of view a movie doesn’t make sense to get up in arms for. From my stand-point it just gets a bit silly when people get that heated by discussion a movie because it isn’t like life depends on it but I see what you mean. I say this in a respectful way and I don’t want to ridicule your opinion.

@Thoughts_Dreams

No offense taken. Part of what I'm saying is that when people get up in arms over a movie, they're not being as serious as some people think. It's not 100% real anger. If they're honest with themselves, it's play-anger, like the play-fear we feel in horror movies.

It's not "I'm going to literally bunch somebody in the face" anger nor is it "I'm going to organize a protest because this is a very serious issue that must be corrected" anger.

It's "I'm going to type something antagonistic in an internet repartee while slowly sipping a cup of coffee" anger.

Total box office looks to be close to $231,500,000 now.  But, the China numbers seem older.  I guess it takes longer to tabulate them?  Regardless, with Japan coming up in September, home media release, digital downloads, etc.  Thoughts on whether this will all be enough to get an Alien:  Covenant sequel?

I think at this point, we'll be getting a sequel regardless. Fox has invested too much and it'll be in bad form to not let Ridley finish/continue his story. 

According to this page it is now over 232 million worldwide. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=alienparadiselost.htm

It's gonna make a ton of money on digital sales.
