The latest installment in the long-running 'Alien' franchise, titled 'Alien: Romulus,' has made a strong debut at the North American box office. The film, released by 20th Century Studios, earned an impressive $41.5 million in its opening weekend across 3,885 locations in the U.S. and Canada. Adding to its success, 'Alien: Romulus' also garnered $66.7 million from international markets, resulting in a global debut of $108.2 million.

Disney, the parent company of 20th Century Studios, secured the top two spots at the box office with 'Alien: Romulus' and Marvel's 'Deadpool & Wolverine.' The company's summer box office performance has been notable, contributing to 42% of the industry's total earnings with hits like 'Inside Out 2' and 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.'
