Not necessarily true.
There IS an attempt to bridge both films closer in mythology and of course in branding...i.e. "ALIEN" in the title.
If the film under performs at the box office, it could potentially push the franchise back into development hell for YEARS and YEARS.
I'm sure there are expectations from FOX for this to earn MORE than its previous release.
