'Alien: Romulus' Surpasses $200 Million at Worldwide Box Office

Alien: Romulusthe new installment of the horror and science fiction saga Aliendirected and co-written by Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe, Evil Dead) has just reached another major milestone at the global box office.

After completing its second week of exhibition in cinemas around the world, the film from the 20th Century Studios studio currently has $225 million at the global box office, y officially grosses more than the original release Alien (1979) by Ridley Scott and that Aliens (1986) by James Cameron.

Alien grossed $186 million at the worldwide box office, while Aliens grossed $183 million. It also surpassed the $158 million of Alien 3 (1992).

NOTE: Es It is extremely important to note that these totals are in gross dollars, without adjustments for inflation.. When we take into account the inflation adjustment factor, all three films gross more than what they Romulus accumulates at the moment.

For more context:

• Alien (1979) – $186 million (unadjusted for inflation) – $856 million (adjusted for inflation)
• Aliens (1986) – $183 million (not adjusted for inflation) – $525 million (adjusted for inflation)
• Alien 3 (1992) $158 million (not adjusted for inflation) – $360 million (adjusted for inflation)
• Alien: Romulus (2024) – $225 million (unadjusted for inflation) – $225 (adjusted for inflation)

The reason the inflation-adjusted global totals for the first three films are so different from each other despite their similar grosses is because the value of the dollar has changed so dramatically.

Will you be able to Alien: Romulus meet and exceed the totals of Alien y Aliens with adjustments for inflation?
