Alien: Romulus (2024) Official 20th Century Fox Trailer
Strong Marketing Cemented This Film An Instant Hit
Disney and 20th Century Studios’ film Alien: Romulus has been a surprise smash hit, with a $108.2 million global opening—$41.5 million in North America and $66.7 million worldwide.
Unexpected Overseas Takedown
Typically, at this point in the summer, the box office suffers as parents spend more time getting back-to-school supplies at Staples than heading to Regal Cinemas. However, due to a strong marketing campaign, the terrifying Alien franchise addition is taking the world by storm. Deadline reports that the sci-fi film usurped box office control of theaters across China with a revenue of $25.7 million, helping it cinch the honor of the second-highest opening for a movie this year.
Who’s Behind It?
According to 20th Century Studios, Fede Alvarez helms the project as director, with the script penned by his longtime collaborator Rodo Sayagues. Moreover, Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett devised the characters the story is based on. Furthermore, on the producing end, Ridley Scott is back, who was the original tour de force behind the film that started it all: Alien. Additional producers include Michael Pruss (Boston Strangler) and Walter Hill (Alien), with executive producers Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (Charlie’s Angels), Brent O’Connor (Bullet Train), and Tom Moran (Unstoppable.)
Terrifyingly Good Marketing
People flocked to the theater this past weekend due to the powerful marketing that began earlier this year. Furthermore, when the trailer surfaced in March, it received a staggering 50 million views on its first day, crowning the video supreme on YouTube and X.
Through the fall, Alien: Romulus should continue to captivate audiences worldwide, affirming its place as a standout release in the film industry this year and how the Alien franchise stands the test of time.
Alien: Romulus is screening in theaters worldwide.
