This weekend, ET doesn’t just mean extra-terrestrial; it means extra tickets at the box office. The legacy stand-alone sequel Alien: Romulus has invaded the theaters and, as of Saturday morning, will become the franchise’s second-biggest opening weekend. Deadline reports the Cailee Spaeny-led film is estimated to earn between $40-$42 million, falling behind 2012’s Prometheus at $51 million. It’s still pretty good gross income for a movie with a lot of gross aliens. Yucky! However, despite being second place on the Alien franchise opening weekend charts, it’ll take the no. 1 spot at the box office, bumping the Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds household’s Deadpool and Wolverine and It Ends With Us…
