"Alien: Romulus" Dominates Weekend Box Office, Surpassing Channing Tatum's Latest Film
As summer moviegoers shift gears, "Alien: Romulus" is holding its ground firmly at the box office. The latest installment in the beloved franchise, directed by Fede Álvarez, is not only set to maintain its top spot but is also expected to outperform other major releases this weekend. With Disney's 20th Century Studios backing the film, it continues to soar high, despite competition from new entries.
Currently, "Alien: Romulus" has amassed an impressive $50.6 million globally, proving its staying power as the summer season wanes. This week, the film is projected to edge out "Deadpool & Wolverine," which is expected to pull in around $18 million. In contrast, "Alien: Romulus" is anticipated to retain its stronghold with superior box office numbers, reinforcing its dominance.

As for the other films vying for attention, it seems the new releases will struggle to match the high benchmarks set by established hits. Amazon MGM Studios' thriller "Blink Twice," starring Channing Tatum and directed by Zoe Kravitz, is one such contender. Despite the star power and positive critical reception—boasting an 80% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes—the film is not projected to make a significant impact. Tatum's latest project, centered around a tech billionaire's entanglement with a cocktail waitress who discovers unsettling truths about her paradise island, is expected to open with modest numbers in the single-digit millions.
Similarly, Lionsgate’s reboot of "The Crow," featuring Bill Skarsgård, is anticipated to perform below the original 1994 film's opening figures. Despite a significant distribution footprint and the talent involved, the reboot's expected performance suggests it may not capture the same magic as its predecessor. The film, directed by Rupert Sanders and adapted from the graphic novel by James O'Barr, is projected to earn between $6 million and $9 million.
Sony’s faith-based film "The Forge" also joins the fray, targeting a niche audience. With a focus on a young man's journey to better life decisions post-graduation, it is set to have a limited but focused theatrical run.
In summary, as the summer draws to a close and audiences start gearing up for back-to-school routines, "Alien: Romulus" remains the dominant force at the box office. Its strong performance amid a crowded field of new releases underscores its continued appeal and solidifies its position as a major player in the current cinematic landscape.
