Alien: Romulus is steadily progressing towards a major milestone at the US box office. The movie has been on the top five domestic lists for weeks, and it is performing adequately overseas. This latest installment in the Alien franchise is the second highest-grossing film in the series, and its latest weekend collections have added a little more juice to its domestic cume.

Due to its outstanding performance in international regions, the film has entered the top ten highest-grossing films of this year.

The sci-flick dipped 68.4% from last Sunday at the North American box office.
