Alien: Romulus underwhelmed at the domestic box office in its second weekend. However internationally, the sci-fi horror defeated its competition to top the chart for a second consecutive week. Alien: Romulus crossed a massive $100 million milestone overseas, pushing the Fede Álvarez-directed film over the $200 million mark worldwide. The latest entry will soon surpass Alien: Covenant’s lifetime run to become the second highest-grossing film in the franchise.
