“Alien: Romulus” ripped into the domestic box office with $41.5 million, marking the second-highest start in the long-running “Alien” franchise. Those ticket sales were enough for the newest chapter in Disney and 20th Century’s sci-fi horror saga to end the three-week reign of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which just overtook “Joker” as the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history with $1.14 billion.
These achievements are capping off Disney’s stellar summer streak, which ignited with “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” (May’s highest grossing movie with $397 million) and continued through “Inside Out 2” (June’s highest grossing movie with $1.597 billion) and “Deadpool & Wolverine” (July’s highest grossing movie with $1.14 billion). The studio earlier this month became the first of 2024 to surpass $3 billion in worldwide ticket sales and should continue to pad that total with “Moana 2” (Nov. 27) and “Mufasa: The Lion King” (Dec. 20) on the calendar through the year’s end. -

Great to hear that people are giving Romulus a chance. It's a fun flick, the likes of which we've not seen in over ten years and even then it was threadbare.
I don't know if it will get much over 500 million worldwide at the box office but it is certainly reassuring to those who watch the pulse to know that a movie with a terrible IP reputation still managed to make more than all 'The Message' stuff has done combined while still retaining the archetypal strong woman -and there's all the rest in there too- vibe that Alien was doing before most of these 'creators' and 'critics' were itches in their daddies' pants
