'Alien Romulus' Topped The Box Office Again, And Fede Álvarez Shared A Totally On Brand Response To Team 'Deadpool & Wolverine'

When "Alien: Romulus" was released it did something that no other movie had been able to do for a month when it beat "Deadpool & Wolverine" at the domestic box office. But the victory was short-lived, as the Marvel Studios behemoth quickly retook the crown. Don’t count out the Xenomorphs entirely, however, as the new "Alien" movie recently fought off "Deadpool" once again, and director Fede Álvarez is celebrating by killing Deadpool with a chest burster.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" may have won an anemic weekend box office last weekend, but on Tuesday, the most recent date for which data is complete, the most-watched movie in the country was once again "Alien: Romulus." Fede Álvarez took to Twitter to celebrate taking down "Deadpool and Wolverine" once again and included an amazing image of the Merc with a Mouth having his chest explode courtesy of a baby Xenomorph.
