After a wildly successful theatrical run, Alien: Romulus has kept its legs going into 2025 on streaming. As of today, January 23nd, according to FlixPatrol, Alien: Romulus has the highest viewership of any movie on the Disney+ streaming platform worldwide, just passing The Lion King (remake) which held the top spot as of yesterday.
The film has also surpassed Deadpool & Wolverine to become the most watched R rated film on the platform. Its success is still largely due to its strong international performance, as the film isn’t within the top ten in the US, but tops the charts in other countries including the United Kingdom, Spain, and Switzerland.
Romulus also had a strong release on physical media late last year. A sequel is currently being developed by director Fede Álvarez and his writing partner Rodo Sayagues.

yeah man.
Hell yeah! Same here. I pray Fede officially signs on for the sequel soon - I would have done a couple of things differently as well, but I really think Fede will pay due diligence to the sequel in terms of what ticked off hardcore fans. Romulus deserves its place as the third most successful film in the franchise, and Fede has earned another crack, for sure.
That is shocking, given their huge box office success.
