The latest installment in the Predator franchise is a huge success, proving that a fresh approach can revitalize a series. Directed by , this uniquely creative film has become the highest-grossing Predator movie in just over a week, and it continues to perform well in theaters.
When Prey came out on Disney+ in 2022, many fans of the Predator franchise were disappointed it didn’t get a traditional movie theater release, believing it could have been a big success in cinemas. Now, Predator: Badlands is offering a glimpse of what that theatrical experience might have been like.
Fans had to wait several years for a new Predator movie, but it was worth it. Director Trachtenberg took a risk by making the Predator the hero, and cleverly included references to the Alien movies. This has made Badlands the most well-received and financially successful film in the Predator series.
‘Predator: Badlands’ Has Surpassed Some Very High Expectations
20th Century Studios
Before the release of Predator: Badlands, many fans wondered if director Trachtenberg could get audiences to sympathize with a Predator – a creature usually seen as the villain in this long-running series. The answer, it seems, is yes, and surprisingly easily.
Critics loved Predator: Badlands, giving it an 85
After just 10 days in theaters, Badlands has earned over $135 million worldwide, with over $60 million coming from U.S. theaters. This success means the film has already made more than its $105 million production budget and become the highest-grossing film in the series. Although it still has a ways to go to reach the $350 million earned by Alien: Romulus, positive reviews and audience buzz could draw even more viewers in the weeks ahead.
As a big fan, I’m really curious to see where the Predator series heads next. Trachtenberg has a clear vision, and I’m pretty confident the studio will let him explore it. With Alien: Romulus already confirmed and Alien: Earth getting another season, everyone’s really wondering if we’ll finally get another full-on Alien vs. Predator movie – it’s been over a decade since the last one, and it wasn’t exactly a hit. Honestly, at this point, it feels almost inevitable that they’ll try it again.
