The movie Predator: Badlands has made a milestone in the franchise by achieving a worldwide debut of 80 million dollars, surpassing previous expectations that estimated its revenue at 60 million, according to Deadline. This result makes Badlands the best opening of the saga to date, with 40 million collected in the United States alone during its first weekend.

20 million more than expected

Analysis indicates that the movie has maintained a solid box office, with only a 10% drop in revenue on Saturday compared to Friday, suggesting that interest in the film could persist beyond the opening weekend. This phenomenon is uncommon and is a positive indicator for the film, which has been highly anticipated by fans and has brought some light back to cinemas that were not at their best.

Despite this successful start, Predator: Badlands still faces the challenge of being profitable. With a production budget of around 100 million dollars, this amount is added to the marketing expenses that Disney has allocated for the promotion of the film. The studio will need to keep an eye on how the numbers perform in the coming days to verify if Badlands will achieve the expected profitability.

The good news for Disney is that, thanks to the positive results of Predator: Badlands, the company has surpassed 4 billion dollars in global revenue in 2025, becoming the second company to reach this figure, after Warner Bros., which achieved the milestone weeks earlier.

According to the director’s statements, working simultaneously on these projects has allowed him to explore different aspects of the saga and maintain his creative momentum.

A movie already released, another yet to be released

Killer of Killers is set in various eras, starting in 841 AD and following characters such as the Viking warrior Ursa, the ninja Kenji in feudal Japan, and a World War II pilot named John Torres. All these narratives intertwine in a way that will be considered canon within the franchise. For fans, this is especially significant, as it confirms the continuity and coherence of the saga through its diverse stories and characters. Additionally, since its premiere on Max, it has achieved great success among critics and audiences.

On its part, Badlands is scheduled to premiere on November 7 and is one of the most anticipated projects, as it introduces a marginalized Predator and a Weyland-Yutani robot, played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi and Elle Fanning respectively. Although details about this movie are still scarce, the connection to the Alien universe has led to speculation about a possible joint project of Alien vs. Predator.

Recently, Fede Alvarez, when asked about his interest in directing an Alien vs. Predator movie, hinted that this could be a future possibility, suggesting a creative collaboration with Trachtenberg, in the style of famous duos in the film industry. The fan community is on the lookout, not only for new releases but also for the future direction of this iconic science fiction universe.
