According to a recent interview with Dan T the movie seems to take place sometime after Alien Resurrection. That movie does say Weyland Yutani was bought out by Walmart but apparently the book Sea of Sorrows established that they reform as a company at some point. Maybe it can be placed sometime after that book?

Yeah, that's my bad. I looked back and saw this was discussed already. For some reason I stopped getting emails notifications on new posts so I was behind....

I do like the placement for the movie though. Seems like the best place, let's the established EU have a chance to continue to exist. Lots of later EU stories from the short story collections imply that people know the Predators are out there so it kinda works

He actually said that he did it to avoid contradicting Fede and Noah's works on Alien: Romulus and Alien: Earth. He added the Weyland-Yutani eye as a nod to the former, in fact.

I know a lot of people are saying otherwise, but really, the show doesn't have any contradictions. The one it does have is easily explainable because AVP is canon, too.

Is this one related to Yutani and Weyland merging?

honestly i actually really like the idea of it happening closer to aliens as seems to be what was originally the case, but yea i don't really see how you can make the argument that it's not canon lol

Charles Bishop Weyland formed the company known as Weyland Industries. The logo matches Weyland-Yutani's future logo. He dies in 2004. Sometime between 2030 (Predator: Concrete Jungle) and 2055 (Alien: Earth flashbacks), this company merged with the Yutani Corporation. The Yutani Corporation's space and robotic ventures were now recognised as the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
In 2012, Peter Weyland formed a separate company known as Weyland Corp. Despite the similar name and shared family, this organisation was independent of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. After Peter's death in 2093, Yutani (also known as Weyland-Yutani) absorbed his assets in a hostile takeover, finally uniting both Weyland Industries (pre-2004-post-2030) and Weyland Corp (2012-2099) under one roof.

It is unknown whether Weyland Industries took over the Yutani Corporation or vice versa, but certainly the Yutani Corporation, post-merger with Weyland Industries, took over Weyland Corp.
