Predator: Badlands’ Closes In on Franchise Global No. 1 After Setting U.S. Record

The film sits near $175 million worldwide, with theater cuts curbing momentum toward a $200 million finish.

Overview

  • Current grosses stand at about $85.4 million domestic and $89.3 million international for roughly $174.7 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
  • The movie is less than $4 million shy of Alien vs. Predator’s $177.4 million global total, positioning it to potentially become the franchise’s worldwide leader.
  • It has become the highest-grossing Predator title in the United States, surpassing the domestic run of Alien vs. Predator after 24–25 days in release.
  • Exhibitors have dropped over 1,000 theaters and recent weekends have softened, pointing to limited runway for further large gains.
  • With an estimated $105 million budget and an industry breakeven yardstick near $262.5 million, a full theatrical break-even appears unlikely despite strong Rotten Tomatoes scores from critics and audiences.
