Predator Badlands box office collection: Dan Trachtenberg film sets franchise record with $80 million opening

Predator: Badlands released on the heels of the worst box office weekend of 2025 in North America. But it managed to turn the tide with its $40 million opening. Not accounting for inflation, the $40 million opening marked a new high for the franchise, beating the $38.3 million start for 2004’s Alien vs. Predator.

Internationally, too, Predator: Badlands has done well, matching its domestic collection and adding $40 million from the international territories, according to studio estimates. The film's global opening weekend collection stands at $80 million, a promising total.

Written and directed by Dan Trachtenberg, Predator: Badlands is the most expensive Predator film. According to AP, the film's budget is $105 million, which means it needs to earn a bit more to be profitable. Whether it gets to its break-even point will depend on how the film performs over the weekdays.
