Alien: Romulus is set to reach yet another milestone days after overtaking Alien: Covenant’s global take to become the second highest-grossing film in the franchise. The sci-fi horror shows no sign of slowing down after smashing multiple records at the box office worldwide.
After less than three weeks in theaters, the Fede Alvarez-directed film became the highest-grossing horror movie in 2024, officially surpassing the $261.5 million worldwide total of A Quiet Place: Day One. The indie horror flick Longlegs came in third with $102.6 million. The three films are the only horror movies to cross the $100 million mark this year.
Alien: Romulus is now set to reach another massive box office milestone overseas. It is only $3 million short of closing on the $200 million mark internationally. Currently, the film has made $197.1 million internationally and $92 million stateside. With a worldwide total of $289.1 million, Romulus is $11 million shy of passing the $300 million mark.
