We’ve probably seen the very first hint of merchandise we can expect for ALIEN Romulus. Over on X (formerly twitter), this post was made by Exhibitor Relations Co on April 10, indicating our first glimpse into what we can expect to become available when the movie is released.

While nothing definitive is revealed here, it does hint at how much of a hit movie ALIEN Romulus is expected to be. Such marketing and sales tie-ins usually accompany a movie release expected to be favorably received by the public. Favorably enough for audience members to purchase a popcorn bucket before people enter the cinema to see the movie. DUNE Part 2 was a phenomenal success with the popcorn bucket made to look like an open Arrakis sandworm maw, made controversial due to its suggestive nature. What exactly can we anticipate from an ALIEN themed “popcorn container” that “attaches to your forearm”? Your guess is as good as mine.

We’ll have to wait and see; but one thing is for certain, we are only just beginning to see the crank handle start to turn on the ALIEN Romulus merchandise machine. In less than two weeks, ALIEN Day April 26 will be upon us and I expect any number of ALIEN Romulus announcements to be made. I’ll be around to cover any such merchandise right on this blog. Check in on ALIEN Day to see what’s covered here at HIDEOUS PLASTIC.

ALIEN Romulus is being released on August 16, 2024. Just a few months from now.
