Alien: Romulus Box Office Scores Strong Preview Night

The film titled “Romulus,” considered one of the best Alien movies in years, brought in $6.5 million during its Thursday night previews. This suggests a potential opening weekend gross of more than $50 million. Previously, it was anticipated to earn around $40 million or higher on its opening weekend, but the strong preview figures place it in the same league as films like “A Quiet Place: Day One” ($6.7 million Thursday, $52 million opening weekend) and “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” ($6.6 million Thursday, $58 million opening weekend). Theaters overall had a successful Thursday night, with “It Ends With Us” and “Deadpool & Wolverine” both earning over $4 million each, despite not being in their initial release frames.
