Crazy world in the cinemas. There has been no shortage of current Hollywood blockbusters in recent weeks. First the science fiction epic Dune 2 won big, only to be replaced by the no less successful monster spectacle Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. A little later, the surprise hit Civil War caused quite a stir on the big screen. But even this concentrated blockbuster power isn't enough to stop a 25-year-old classic.
When did Alien originally come to cinemas?
In 1979 the science fiction film celebrated Alien: The scary creature from a strange world debuted in cinemas worldwide and laid the foundation for a franchise that remains extremely popular to this day. The masterpiece from director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Blade Runner) starred Sigourney Weaver at the time almost $79 million into the cash registers. Despite the comparatively low sales, a large fan base quickly established itself, and a total of five more films with the dangerous and frightening Xenomorph followed. The film is currently celebrating its second spring.
