The eighth film in the franchise, which started with Predator in 1987, is called Badlands, and it gives a fresh take on the science fiction genre. A young, reclusive predator (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) meets an android researcher (Elle Fanning) on a distant planet, and the two embark on an adventure together.
Predator Badlands box office collection: In its first weekend of release, the most recent Predator movie, Predator: Badlands, broke the franchise record. The movie led the domestic box office during the weekend with $40 million in North America, a better-than-expected outcome that somewhat revived the box office from its autumnal slump. The release of Predator: Badlands followed the worst North American box office weekend of 2025. However, with its $40 million opening, it was able to reverse the trend. The $40 million opening set a new record for the franchise without taking inflation into consideration, surpassing the $38.3 million start for Alien vs. Predator in 2004.

According to studio estimations, Predator: Badlands has performed well abroad as well, matching its domestic receipts and earning an additional $40 million from outside markets. At $80 million, the movie’s worldwide opening weekend receipts are encouraging.
The most costly Predator movie is Predator: Badlands, which was written and directed by Dan Trachtenberg. The movie has a $105 million budget, so it has to make a little more money to turn a profit, according to AP. The movie’s performance over the week will determine if it reaches its break-even threshold.
