Alien: Romulus Catch-All Thread

The crew of main characters could pick it up... But then again why could they and everyone else couldn't ?

Im getting the vibe that this xeno will be an adolesence or bambie sized and possibly there will be a man in a rubber suit for close ups.

What are we anticipating Romulus to gross worldwide?

And do you believe box office failure means an unsuccessful film?

Prometheus and Covenant were both deemed failures (which I don't personally get) making $403 million and $241 million respectively.
Not accounting for inflation, Prometheus is currently the 8th highest grossing horror film in history.

I think Romulus will make about $320 million worldwide and be a success with fans.

160-280 million worldwide

Would be nice to know the budget first.

Given that this was initially intended for streaming, I don't see it having that high of a budget.

I think that it's the same more or less (likely more less) of Covenant's budget. Covenant also had a huge marketing and viral campaign just as Prometheus, and I don't think that Romulus would have the same treatment

Production budget's irrelevant, marketing budget's where it's at.

Comparatively, the production budgets for an Alien film are always wild next to your typical horror release.

I really hope it does well enough to warrant future Alien films adhering to theater releases. It'll be a sad, cold day in hell when we no longer see the new entries of this franchise on the big screen.

AND, I hope Romulus does well enough that it either lights a fire under Ridley's ass to finish the prequels, or if he's not the one deciding to hold back on finishing the story, to change whoever's mind over at Disney that's preventing him from finishing them.

I mean, we're also no stranger to long gaps of time between films, and the powers that be may just think now isn't the correct time to finish them, but Scott is 86 😭

50 bucks says Ripley will make an appearance.

I'll take it.

She'll be inserted in a last-minute edit, like the egg on Sulaco was.

In that case, David also put her there, then.

To me this clearly isn't the Big Chap. It's to sinewy and skinny. It looks almost exactly like the Covenant Alien. Which is no bad thing. But the Big Chap or Big Chap Type this surely cannot be....

[SiL]

It's not meant to be Big Chap.
