Which Scott and Cameron films did it pass?
On the same worldwide-gross basis, Romulus sits above the original Alien and Aliens. It also falls below Prometheus, another Ridley Scott-directed entry. The table uses the nominal worldwide totals listed by The Numbers, not an inflation-adjusted ranking.
| Film | Director | Worldwide gross listed |
|---|---|---|
| Alien: Romulus (2024) | Fede Alvarez | $350,865,342 |
| Prometheus (2012) | Ridley Scott | $402,448,265 |
| Alien: Covenant (2017) | Ridley Scott | $242,392,049 |
| Alien (1979) | Ridley Scott | $188,034,787 |
| Aliens (1986) | James Cameron | $183,291,256 |
| Alien³ (1992) | David Fincher | $159,268,127 |
| Alien: Resurrection (1997) | Jean-Pierre Jeunet | $162,290,906 |
| AVP: Alien Vs. Predator | not stated by The Numbers franchise table | $172,543,519 |
| Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem | not stated by The Numbers franchise table | $130,290,885 |
That makes the headline comparison accurate when it refers specifically to the 1979 Alien and 1986 Aliens. It would be misleading to say Romulus surpassed all of Scott’s Alien films: Prometheus is ahead by $51,582,923 on the listed totals.

#1 Best Overall
- This truly terrifying sci-fi horror-thriller takes the legendary ?Alien? franchise back to its iconic roots. While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young colonizers come face-to-face with the deadliest life form in the universe. Warning: Some flashing-lights scenes in this film may affect photosensitive viewers.
What the box-office figures do—and do not—show
The worldwide gross is the combined reported domestic and international total; the domestic figure alone is not the right number for a global comparison. These database totals are not presented here as inflation-adjusted figures, and the franchise table does not establish a consistent attendance comparison or a separate ranking of release-era grosses versus re-release-inclusive totals.
The Numbers lists an $80,000,000 production budget for Romulus. Its worldwide gross is about 4.4 times that figure, but that is only a gross-to-budget ratio. It is not a profit calculation: the listed budget and box-office gross do not by themselves account for distribution costs, marketing, exhibitor shares, or other financial details. The Numbers’ financial page also lists a domestic opening weekend of $42,003,361.

Where Romulus fits in the franchise
20th Century Studios dates the U.S. release to August 16, 2024; The Numbers records international releases beginning August 14, 2024 in some territories. Fede Alvarez directed and co-wrote the film with Rodo Sayagues, and Ridley Scott is among its producers. Scott directed Alien and Prometheus; Cameron directed Aliens. The official studio page identifies the film’s credits and U.S. release date.
The Numbers lists the film as R-rated for bloody violent content and language, with a runtime of 119 minutes. The studio describes its premise as young space colonizers scavenging a derelict station and encountering a dangerous life form. The studio’s synopsis calls the film a return to the franchise’s roots; that is promotional framing, rather than a box-office measure or an independent assessment.
