Deadpool and Wolverine Steelbooks have been selling like crazy, and there have been super fast sellouts on releases like the Terminator 40th Anniversary And Godzilla Minus One 4K Steelbooks.

Another Alien movie on the way?
Given the film’s strong box office performance, it seems likely that another entry into the franchise will happen, although nothing has been confirmed at this time. Speak with The Hollywood Reporter recently, Alvarez was asked about a potential Romulus follow-up. While it wasn’t front and center during the film, he certainly thought about ways the story could be expanded upon afterwards.
“Yes, I certainly can. We tend to do that naturally, without even thinking about sequels. For us, films have not become franchises, tentpoles and sequels,” said the director. “This is a language I only learned in the last ten years of my life here. For me it was always about the story. So when we were done, we started thinking, ‘What do you think will happen when they reach your Yvaga? Is it going to be great? Or is it a terrible place?’ We tend to believe that it’s probably a terrible place that they think is great and fantasizes about, so naturally we started thinking about where it’s going and what’s going to happen. And then, a few minutes later, we say, ‘Oh, that sounds like a sequel.’
