‘Alien' Joins Old Movie Hits Returning to Theaters Aching to Fill Empty Seats
- Reissues of past hits are running a third higher this year
- Domestic box-office sales are down 18% so far in 2024
Fans of the original Alien will get to see Sigourney Weaver battle a deadly extraterrestrial on big screens all over again this weekend.
The picture is being released for a limited run across the US on Friday — 45 years after its debut — in part to stoke interest in Alien: Romulus, a new installment of the franchise set for theaters in August.
