Since when has any Alien film had a 100 million + budget prior to Prometheus and Covenant lol
Well there's a reason that the MARVEL extended Universe is just that. It's an extended Universe which increased budgets to $150 Million to $250 Million with Box Office returns of Billions.
Fox has dragged its heels for decades with Executive Producer David Giler saying "oh we have these expansive, imaginative scripts that are awesome" and then proceeds to piss on them refusing to show the money, like some deadbeat Father ignoring his Son's inputs.
Audiences are not tired of ALIENS or Xenomorphs. They are tired of being cooped up in confined spaces for 8 movies. The ALIEN is no longer scary it is boring because of the same movie being made over and over. Familiarity breeds contempt.
The reason ALIENS was a box office smash was because we saw a bigger and greater threat (ALIEN- QUEEN). Imagine that on a futuristic Earth.
Let's have some scale, like ALIENS EARTH WAR or BOOK TWO. If David Giler is not willing to do the "20 powerloaders vs 20 ALIEN Queens" lets hand it to someone who DOES.
