"Alien: Romulus" opened in first place at the North American box office, earning $108.2 million globally in its first week, exceeding projections and becoming the second-best opening for the Alien franchise behind Prometheus (2012). The film received positive reviews from critics and audiences, with an 81-82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a B+ CinemaScore, indicating a strong box office performance ahead.

Directed by Fede Álvarez and produced by Ridley Scott, the film is the seventh installment in the Alien franchise, set between the original Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986). It follows a group of young intergalactic colonists facing Xenomorphs, including a new hybrid creature, on an abandoned space station. The film connects to previous installments by revealing the fate of the Nostromo ship and the original Xenomorph, explaining their connection to the black goo from Prometheus.

The film features a posthumous appearance by Ian Holm as an android named Rook, continuing the legacy of his character Ash from the original Alien. It also explains the life cycle of Xenomorphs through chestburster scenes and reveals that facehuggers track their prey using heat and sound.
