With a worldwide tally of $160.2 million, the seventh installment in the Predator franchise, Predator: Badlands, has secured a spot among the top 25 highest-grossing films of 2025. Within the franchise, it has already surpassed the global earnings of the first two Predator films (1987 & 1990), Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), and the 2010 entry, Predators. As of now, Badlands is on the verge of overtaking the 2018 film The Predator and is roughly $17.2 million short of outgrossing the franchise’s current top-grosser, Alien vs. Predator (2004).
At its current momentum, the Elle Fanning starrer Predator: Badlands is on track to become the highest-grossing film in the Predator series before the end of its theatrical run. As the film continues its impressive run, it is now closing in on Antoine Fuqua’s 2016 action film The Magnificent Seven, starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, and Ethan Hawke. Here’s how much Predator: Badlands needs to earn to outgross it worldwide.
