Civil warKaylee Spaney) has an artificial, trouble-making android at her side against vampire-like aliens. It is very dark Alien And fans will love it.

As a reputable tracking company, we are not shy Alien: Romulus at one o’clock $28M Domestic opening, but such org is often wrong this summer. To be fair, post-Covid and the strike, the film has taken an unpredictable fall. Last weekend, one such company paid $23M for Sony/Wayfarer Studios. It ends with us. The film opened to $50M. Mic drop. The Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively movie is expected to drop -55% this weekend. $22M. Lively beat her husband Ryan Reynolds Deadpool & Wolverine Monday and Tuesday at the box office.

Anything north of $28M stateside, making Disney content, cost the film $80M before P&A. With this R-rated, twenty-something cast in the original 1979 installment, Alien and James Cameron’s 1986 aliens, Disney has hardcore fans and men over 35, but the concern here is that the audience isn’t as broad as the studio’s recent revival of 20th Century Studios. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes It debuted to $58.4M and finished with $171.1M stateside, surpassing previous franchise Matt Reeves’ 2017 episode. War for the Planet of the Apes ($146.9M).

While China delivers above the high single digits (in a competitive market), there is room for upside if the film goes beyond the core fan base overseas overall. For example, China’s pre-sales are currently lagging behind other new titles, while Australia’s pre-sales are good but skewed in the opening days.

It’s an R-rated film domestically, though overseas markets aren’t similarly handcuffed. This is pure science fiction, and we expect good numbers from Brazil and Mexico, which have recently arrived, and the bulk of the business is expected from Europe.

Foreign comps to keep in mind Alien: Covenant $72M in markets like this open and at today’s exchange rates (though including $28M from China in 2017); of 2012 Prometheus at $55M (which only includes China’s one-day market opening); of 2018 A predatory animal at $45M (including $19M from China); And the most recent A Quiet Place: Day One at $45M (with $10M from China).

Alvarez premiered an extended scene from the film at CineEurope in Barcelona in June. He recalls staring at a blank page three years ago, “and faced with the terrifying and thrilling task of bringing back to life one of the greatest sci-fi franchises ever created.” He also noted that he got some advice from former Scott and Cameron. The resulting film goes “to places this franchise has never gone,” he said.
