Alien: Romulus is steadily holding its charm at the Chinese box office and is all set to beat Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, aka GOTG Vol 3. It will become one of China’s top ten highest-grossing Hollywood movies post-COVID. The movie is doing well not only in North America but also in the international markets. It has been enjoying a favorable spot in China despite other releases in the theatres. Scroll below for deets.
It arrived seven years after the last installment in the Alien franchise, Alien: Covenant. The film had a solid debut weekend and managed to topple Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine from the top spot at the North American box office. China is a large market; a considerable amount comes from there, eventually contributing to a film’s global collection. The latest release has crossed the $200 million milestone at the worldwide box office, and hopefully, many more milestones are left to achieve in its run.
Trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report reveals Alien: Romulus is still strong at the Chinese box office. It collected $2.7 million on its second Tuesday from over 87K screenings. However, it faced a drop of 63.8% from its first Tuesday last week. The sci-fi horror flick by Fede Alvarez starring Cailee Spaeny has reached a $79.2 million cume in China.
