Today, Dan Trachtenberg’s sci-fi action film Predator: Badlands is set to complete its four-week run in theaters. After receiving a big thumbs-up from both critics and audiences, and with a current global haul of $175.5 million, it has now outgrossed Sylvester Stallone and Michael B. Jordan’s beloved boxing drama, Creed’s $174.2 million haul (as per Box Office Mojo) at the worldwide box office. However, at its current pace, it seems unlikely that Badlands will break into the top 20 highest-grossing titles of 2025. To hit that milestone, it would need to surpass Snow White’s $205.7 million global total, which appears out of reach for now.
Having said that, Badlands comfortably holds the 23rd spot among 2025 releases, sitting just behind the heist threequel Now You See Me: Now You Don’t. And now, the critically acclaimed sci-fi actioner is inching closer to overtaking Paranormal Activity 2, the popular 2010 horror sequel that earned over a staggering 59 times its $3 million budget. Here’s how much more Predator: Badlands needs to collect to outgross the sequel at the global box office.

Here’s how the two films compare at the global box office, according to Box Office Mojo data:
As the numbers indicate, the latest Predator installment trails the found-footage supernatural horror sequel by roughly $2 million worldwide.

A clearer picture should emerge soon as the film continues its box office run.
