Predator Badlands Box Office Collection: Dimitris Schuster-Kolomatangi plays a young Predator in the Dan Trachtenberg film.
Predator Badlands Box Office Collection: The latest Predator film, Predator: Badlands, set a record for the franchise in its opening weekend. The film grossed $40 million in North America and led the domestic box office over the weekend, a better-than-expected result that lifted the box office slightly from its autumn slump.
Predator Badlands is the number 1 movie in the world
Predator: Badlands released in North America after the worst box office weekend of 2025. But it managed to change the situation with an opening of $40 million. Not taking inflation into account, the $40 million debut marked a new high for the franchise, surpassing the $38.3 million debut for 2004’s Alien vs. Predator.
Internationally too, Predator: Badlands performed well, matching its domestic collection and adding $40 million from international territories, according to studio estimates. The film’s global opening weekend collection is $80 million, which is a promising total.
Written and directed by Dan Trachtenberg, Predator: Badlands is the most expensive Predator film. According to the AP, the film’s budget is $105 million, which means it will have to make a little more money to become profitable. Whether it reaches its break-even point or not will depend on how the film performs on weekdays.
