Predator 5 may skip a theatrical run in favor of VOD release on Hulu!

The legal battle between Disney and the Thomas Brothers continue to wage in the courts and during the first legal hearing, the Thomas Brothers' Lawyer made a comment suggesting Predator 5 / Skulls will bypass a theatrical run in favor of an on-demand exclusive release.

During the hearing, according to Marc Toberoff, the legal council representing the Thomas Brothers, Skulls (Predator 5) is quote: "going to be distributed by Hulu". Whether or not this includes a theatrical run in conjunction with an on-demand release has yet to be clarified. But if his comments suggest an exclusive Hulu release, fans will miss out on the immersive movie-going experience movie theaters offer for such types of blockbuster films.

It sounds alot like Predator will be joining Alien on the Disney-owned Hulu platform, as currently there is a new Alien TV series currently in development for Hulu which will be taking the franchise in a completely new direction.

Besides that comment, no other headway was made during the hearing so the fate of Predator 5 remains uncertain moving forward.
