Predator: Badlands is now taking trophies at the Box Office! But how does it compare to other entires in the franchise? Can it beat Alien? This article tracks the latest Box Office updates for Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Badlands. As new figures are released weekly, new totals and milestones will be added to this post! See how Badlands stacks up against other entries in the Predator franchise and beyond!
Badlands Opening Night
The third Yautja tale from Trachtenberg hit the ground running! Dek and Thia managed to breathe some life into a relatively dormant Hollywood Box Office. After abysmal earnings throughout the entire month of October, Badlands managed to track down and hunt a healthy $15.6 million during its opening day on Friday, November 7th, 2025! At the current pace, analysts anticipate the film could surpass $30 million in its first weekend – which would posture it highly, nearly being the most successful entry in the series since 2004's Alien vs. Predator which raked in $38 million during its debut weekend.
How much did Predator: Badlands cost to make?
Disney reportedly spent only $105 million to produce Predator: Badlands – that's $17 million more than it cost to produce 2018's The Predator.
How Does Badlands Stack up to other Predator movies?
How does Dek and Thia's adventure compare to other entries in the franchise? Unfortunately Dan Trachtenberg's Prey never got its fair shot at a Box Office run, but 2018's The Predator did. Back then, it only made $10.4 million during its first Friday at the Box Office – competing with The Nun. Badlands made close to $4.5 million in preview night showings – nearly double what The Predator earned during its preview night sales ($2.5 million).
So far, Predator: Badlands is shaping up to be the most successful stand-alone Predator film in the franchise!
Can Predator beat Alien?
While Predator: Badlands is gaining tremendous praise, healthy enthusiasm and significant momentum from avid fans and casual moviegoers alike, it appears the battle at the Box Office still favors the Acid-bleeding Xenomorph. Fede Alvarez's Alien: Romulus earned an impressive $42 million during its debut weekend back in August, 2024! Badlands will have to plant some serious butts in the cinema if it hopes to beat Alien's last entry.
