This Fede Alvarez starrer is already a summer box-office success. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The movie is at the top of the Chinese box office chart and is still leading. It is less than $10 million away from achieving the $100 million mark. It is already the second-highest-grossing movie in the franchise. The film features Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, and Spike Feam in crucial roles.

Trade analyst Luiz Fernando has revealed the box office data for the opening day of Alien: Romulus in Japan. The report stated that the film’s word of mouth is very positive and has received a 4.0 star from the audience, which is equal to an A- CinemaScore. It is reportedly the best reception for any Alien film in Japan. It is a land of some outstanding anime shows and might be a tough crowd to please with sci-fi content such as this. Hence, getting a four-star is no small achievement.

According to the report, the latest installment in the Alien franchise collected $665K on Friday, its release day. It might not be a thrilling number, but Alien: Romulus has opened at #1 at the Japanese box office despite that. The movie is eyeing $2 million-$3 million on its opening weekend.

As per Box Office Mojo, Alien: Romulus collected $93.28 million at the North American box office, and at the international markets, it has reached a $197.42 million cume. The film’s worldwide collection is $290.71 million.

Fede Alvarez directed Alien: Romulus, which starred Cailee Spaeny and was released in theatres on August 16.
