Predator: Badlands, Dan Trachtenberg’s latest installment in the Predator franchise, is now in its fourth week in theaters. Having already completed an impressive three-week run, the film has earned $165.7 million worldwide and currently ranks among the top 25 highest-grossing releases of 2025.

Yes, we’re talking about the 2009 film Up in the Air. Here’s how much Predator: Badlands needs to earn to overtake it at the global box office.
