Aliens in 1986 was beaten in the box office by something called Crocodile Dundee. What the next alien film needs is jolly swagman and a billabong.

^ I'm sorry TC. You were too late and your condescending is no longer "useful", since I agree with Sil
And as I pointed out before, after Cameron's sequel the Colonial Marines reached a "cult status" among the fans, to so to speak. Plus, plenty of the video games, toys, comic books & novels are a reminiscence of Aliens.
And while people are not going to love an Alien movie just because the USCM, it might help to sell tickets, among other things of course. After all, it is not so much a matter of reception. Prometheus made money, and yet it is not a much-loved movie today.
