THE 'DISAPPOINTING' START OF 'ALIEN: COVENANT'

The eighth installment of the franchise starts with 36 million dollars in the US, below the previous delivery, 'Prometheus' The start has not been memorable, so much so that if the course is not corrected drastically next weekend could be speaking of bad result at the box office of the eighth installment of the saga. And that Ridley Scott was no longer dallied and this time resorted to a more classic strategy, with the beasts of acid in the veins gradually slowing down another space crew. The invention, Alien: Covenant has worked to the extent that has reached the first place of the billboard this weekend in the United States, but not so much if you consider that 36 million dollars in its first three days are very much Below the 51 million achieved by the previous tape, Prometheus. In all, foreign movie theaters contributed $ 30.3 million, including Russia, Sweden and France and waiting for it to open in China in mid-June. However, an authority on the subject, such as the Box Office portal Mojo, has described what happened "disappointing to some extent", knowing the decline that usually arrives on the second weekends for this kind of productions.
