CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline Hollywood reports:

20th Century Studios/Disney’s Alien: Romulus is gobbling up tickets around the globe, now poised to come in with a $100M worldwide opening — significantly higher than pre-weekend projections. This is notably due to the strength of the Fede Alvarez-directed sci-fi horror at the international box office, and more specifically in China.

With the Ridley Scott-produced franchise installment grossing $26M overseas through Friday, this portends a $60M launch internationally, tallying up to $100M global (give or take) — a terrific start and with clear weeks ahead. Good news for the industry, and for Disney in the wake of its mega-successes Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine.
