Yeah, Fox was always involved in the process of a lot of the Alien movies. Even Prometheus (which I liked) ended on a note that you can tell was probably a studio mandate.

I think Romulus has a lot of upside potential. It looks damn good. Very practical, dark, claustrophobic, intense. Cinematography is beautiful and Fede’s shot composition is masterful. It’s not bothering with lore and robots and philosophy. Back to basics with one of the modern horror maestro’s at the helm.

I absolutely hate the trailer for the film. Especially the part where the dude trips in the water and the one girl says, "stop messing around!" It's so dumb!

 

It also seems to give away a lot of the deaths.

we all know it's because of Tobey & Andrew. Not VFX or writing choices.

Tobey and Andrew who Are in the movie for 10 minutes? This is pure cope from you guys. The movie could had 10/10 on RT from top critics and you still would have said stuff like this.

I would be more excited for Alien: Romulus if I even remotely liked any of Alvarez's previous films - I thought I had gone insane after watching Evil Dead and seeing the reviews be so positive. Footage looks good and I like the angle they're taking though.

There are exceptions everywhere.

 

But he gave me Jurassic World, can't be too mad at him. 

 

Dominion though..... 🙃

If it's in theaters, it's Cinema.

 

Good cinema, bad cinema, great cinema, crap cinema. 

 

That's subjective and open to discussions & arguments, but all of it is cinema.

Presumably the poster means the way that Prometheus spends most of the run time going out of its way to avoid being an actual Alien film until the last 10 minutes or so where a xenomorph type creature appears. The rest of the film is more concerned with the engineers and the origins of humanity. It does feel a bit like someone at Fox said to Ridley “you do plan to have an Alien in your Alien movie, right?”.

Too bad he forgot about good cast. We would've never gotten Aliens if Cameron thought "let's do a frame by frame rehash, but worse".

Is that an indictment on the prior works of the Romulus cast, or the fact they went with unknowns? And what’s wrong with a back-to-basics approach after decades of garbage?

I think even the most corporate of slop, theres always people on the set and behind the scenes that were trying their best and put in a lot of effort to get things made and someone somewhere on the planet is going to like it. Whether it's the popular opinion that something is trash or I'm on the fringes, I'm always going to have to pay at least that level of respect. And then I can slander it after that! Cinematic trash can vs cinematic masterpiece.

You’re right. For some reason I had it in my head that Across had an 150m-ish OW, just checked and it’s about $120m. I figured a 25% OW jump wouldn’t have been impossible, but yeah it’s not getting there. I think it will top IO2’s opening though. Won’t have IO2’s legs but can def hit 160m OW.

Great opening ..The first film domestic opening alomost ten years ago is way more impressive though

6th biggest CBM global opening.

 

This ranking is also why films like The Marvels flopping wasn't going to end the MCU as we know it.

 

The success of Deadpool & Wolverine is going to cover the underperformance of Captain America if it underperforms..

I like it as well but where’s Disney seeing “

hype garnering acclaim from critics” 🤣

 

Ehh, at 79% on rotten tomatoes they aren't twisting things that much.

What’s the next movie to do 200M 3-day? Avengers? Can’t really see anything else. Shrek is 5-day no?
