Alien: Romulus Topped The Box Office Again, And Fede Álvarez Shared A Totally On Brand Response To Team Deadpool & Wolverine

As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of both Alien and Deadpool franchises, I must say that the recent box office successes of Alien: Romulus have been nothing short of exhilarating. It’s not every day that you see an underdog like the Xenomorph taking down titans like Deadpool & Wolverine, even if it’s just for a moment.


Upon its release, the film “Alien: Romulus” managed an extraordinary feat that no other movie had achieved for a month – it dethroned “Deadpool & Wolverine” at the domestic box office. However, this triumph was fleeting as the mighty Marvel Studios juggernaut swiftly regained its position. Yet, don’t underestimate the Alien species just yet. The latest “Alien” movie has again bested “Deadpool”, and director Fede Álvarez is reveling in victory by metaphorically ‘bursting’ Deadpool with a chest burster.

Despite underperforming at the box office over the weekend, Alien: Romulus has regained its position as the most-watched movie in the nation as of Tuesday, surpassing Deadpool and Wolverine once more. Director Fede Álvarez expressed his triumph on Twitter with an image of Deadpool’s chest being ripped open by a baby Xenomorph, suggesting another victory for Alien: Romulus over its rivals.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: In the comics, Deadpool once became host to the villainous Carnage, a role made famous by Woody Harrelson in the Venom sequel on the big screen. Now, picture this: Carnage has grown and explodes out of Deadpool in a scene that echoes the terrifying alien birth in the Alien movies. Swapping out Carnage for an Alien here? Absolutely spot-on!

Keeping an eye on the daily box office earnings of “Alien: Romulus” might appear somewhat compulsive, but it’s understandable given Fede Álvarez’s situation. A substantial portion of his future prospects, both for the “Alien” franchise and the types of projects he might be offered, seem to hinge on the success of this new film.

To date, the film titled Romulus has performed quite well. It has generated approximately $230 million at the global box office, which is substantial considering its production budget was around $80 million. Although it doesn’t approach the $1 billion earned by Deadpool and Wolverine, it’s still a noteworthy success.

It’s encouraging that Alien: Romulus briefly regained the top spot at the box office, indicating a promising outlook for its overall performance. Despite other popular films like Deadpool & Wolverine drawing crowds over the weekend, perhaps for repeat viewings, audiences haven’t lost interest in Romulus just yet. The film continues to show strong earnings at the box office consistently.

Numerous critics are praising the film “Romulus” as one of the top-notch installments in the Alien series, an accolade worth noting given that the initial two movies rank among the finest science fiction films ever produced. The movie’s success at the box office bodes well for its future. Intriguingly, a new television series based on the Alien franchise is also underway, and the film’s positive reception suggests that viewers will be eager to watch the TV series too.
