Alien: Romulus has slashed its way into theaters this weekend and, unsurprisingly, it's opened at #1 in North America. According to Deadline, current projections point to Fede Alvarez's reboot debuting with north of $40 million following a combined $18.5 million from Thursday previews/Friday. 

The movie is already "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes with 81% and has been awarded a B+ CinemaScore. Alien was released before CinemaScore's introduction but James Cameron's sequel, Aliens, has the franchise's best score with an A.

After that, there's Alien vs. Predator (B), Prometheus (B), Alien: Covenant (B), Alien Resurrection (B-), Alien3 (C), and Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (C).

A B+ puts Alien: Covenant right behind Aliens as the second-best-reviewed instalment, so that's a solid result. 

Back to those box office takings, and Deadpool & Wolverine will slip to #2 with a projected $27 million - $29 million after a $8.5 million Friday. It Ends With Us is looking at third place with a $23 million haul. 

At select screenings of Alien: Romulus, a brief 10-second teaser trailer for FX and Noah Hawley's upcoming Alien: Earth is being shown before the movie starts. 

It appears to be a Regal Cinemas exclusive in the U.S. and shows the Earth reflected on the head of a Xenomorph before the iconic alien stares menacingly at the screen. We then cut to a title card confirming the show premieres next year.

While this sneak peek doesn't reveal much, it looks like the Xenomorphs are finally being unleashed on our planet (hence the title). 

Check out the Alien: Earth teaser below (via SFFGazette.com).

The sci-fi/horror-thriller takes the phenomenally successful Alien franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.

The film stars Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), David Jonsson (Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Isabela Merced (The Last of Us), Spike Fearn (Aftersun), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (Don’t Breathe 2) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.

Alien: Romulus is produced by Ridley Scott (Napoleon), who directed the original Alien and produced and directed the series’ entries Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, Michael Pruss (Boston Strangler), and Walter Hill (Alien), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (Charlie’s Angels), Brent O’Connor (Bullet Train), and Tom Moran (Unstoppable) serving as executive producers. 

The movie is now playing in theaters.

@FinnishDude - it’s worse than AvP? Damn
FinnishDude
FinnishDude - 8/17/2024, 11:46 AM
@Havenless - They are probably more or less equals in my eyes, but I'm at the moment giving AvP a slight edge for the novelty of Aliens and Predator fighting, while Romulus is just the most generic version of an Alien movie.

@Havenless - it's not worse than AvP. My list goes 1, 2, Romulus, 3, Resurrection and the rest. Just go see it yourself

@FinnishDude -Prometheus is very underrated....I'd have it a solid #3 behind of course Alien and Aliens.I was very interested in seeing where Prometheus was going.

Romulus was okay...I didn't have any care for any of the characters at all and the movie looked great but it wasn't "scary"... though seeing the engineer and human hybrid was creepy.Just going to be blunt we've seen the xenomorphs so much they've lost the scary factor.Just not all that scary anymore...we've seen them enough and what they can do over 8 movies now...I'd like to see more about the engineers.

Alien Earth having xenomorphs on earth pre Alien cannot possibly have a convoluted dumb story.

@McMurdo - They were on Earth in AVP too.

@ObserverIO - oh I'm aware. Ridiculous

@McMurdo - David simply created one using the blueprints of the engineers he massacred. He created the neomorph though. There were previous versions before David sped up their evolution/mutations right? In Prometheus we saw Xenos shown in the mural.

I still agree that a convoluted mess can be created even given all of this.

Now this is the Alien project I'm looking forward to.

How can there be Xenomorphs on Earth before Alien?

Hawley has said that the show is ignoring the events of Prometheus which led me to think that maybe we're not treating Prometheus and Covenant as canon anymore, but Romulus absolutely treats them as such. So, I guess Alien: Earth isn't going to be canon?
McMurdo
McMurdo - 8/17/2024, 12:43 PM
@whatevtrev - Alien Earth will be as much canon as Romulus. It's Alien and Aliens and then everything else is essentially fan fiction.

@McMurdo - sounds about right, I feel that way with Star Wars 4-6.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 8/17/2024, 3:55 PM
@Arthorious - I agree my friend I feel the same way. The sequels have made me more open to at least the narrative portion of the prequels but they are by no means good films in any regard.

THIS IS THE BEST ALIEN MOVIE SINCE ALIEN 3. [frick] the haters

@bobevanz - Alien 3 directors cut is better though. It at least had some interesting characters.

@McMurdo - I recently watched David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake and immediately followed it up with Fede Alvarez's The Girl in the Spider's Web.

The drop in quality was unbelievably steep.

Haven't seen Romulus, but I seriously doubt it comes anywhere even close to the Alien 3 Director's Cut.

@ObserverIO - Fincher's Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was great indeed.

This movie was awesome! Saw it in 4DX and it was a blast. Best since Alien and Aliens. I’ve been disappointed by the franchise before but and this is a happy surprise that it was done so well.
