Predator: Badlands, the seventh installment in the Predator film series, has been in theaters for nearly three weeks now and has received rave reviews from both critics and viewers. With a current worldwide total of $162.9 million, it has already outgrossed every film in the sci-fi action franchise except the 2004 entry, Alien vs. Predator, which earned $177.4 million globally (Box Office Mojo). As of now, it needs to earn around $14.5 million to surpass the global earnings of the franchise’s current top-grossing installment.
Given its momentum and strong word-of-mouth, Badlands is on track to become the Predator franchise’s highest-grossing film in the coming days.
