Box Office Takeover
The latest installment in the science fiction film series "Elien" has dominated the box office in North America since its release. The film’s impressive start has left fans and critics alike buzzing with excitement.
A Strong Opening Weekend
The revenue for "Elien: Romulus," directed by Fedy Alvarez from Uruguay, reached $41.5 million between Friday and Sunday in its first three days. According to David A. Gross, a specialized analyst from the company "Frances Entertainment," this result is an "excellent start for the completion of a horror film series." This significant opening weekend has set the stage for a successful run at the box office.
The Ninth Installment in the Series
"Elien: Romulus" is the ninth film in a series that began in 1979 with the iconic film "Elien" by British director Ridley Scott. The new installment follows the story of a group of space explorers who stumble upon an abandoned space station, where they encounter a terrifying alien creature. This latest chapter in the series has clearly captivated audiences, leading to a strong start at the box office.
Outperforming the Competition
The success of "Elien: Romulus" has led to the film surpassing "Deadpool and Wolverin" in the box office rankings, with the latter film earning $29 million in its opening weekend.

Meanwhile, "Deadpool and Wolverin" has still managed to exceed the threshold of one billion dollars in worldwide ticket sales, a testament to the enduring popularity of the Marvel universe.
A New Era for Science Fiction
The success of "Elien: Romulus" marks a new era for science fiction films, one that is characterized by a blend of horror and action elements.
