In fact,Alien: Romuluswas originally slated to be a Hulu original.Fede Álvarez, the film's director,toldVarietythat the film was going to be a streaming exclusive before 20th Century Fox decided to give it a theatrical run. Good thing, too, based on the box office.
"I remember making an announcement to everybody that this movie was going to in theaters, and there was a big cheer,” Álvarez recalled. “I was like, wow, even the gaffer cares that this goes into theaters!” This, of course, means that the film will taken longer to get to streaming.
Romuluswill stream towards the end of the year
