Predator: Badlands Crushes Box Office Records

Predator: Badlands has achieved remarkable success at the global box office, grossing $160.2 million and positioning itself among the top 25 films of 2025. This seventh installment has already surpassed the earnings of several previous franchise entries, including the original films and the 2007 crossover. It is now on the verge of outgrossing the 2018 film "The Predator" and is approaching the franchise's current highest earner, "Alien vs. Predator" (2004).

The Elle Fanning starrer is projected to become the highest-grossing film in the Predator series by the end of its theatrical run. Notably, it is closing in on Antoine Fuqua's 2016 film, The Magnificent Seven, starring Denzel Washington. "Badlands" trails this action movie by approximately $2.1 million in worldwide earnings and is expected to surpass it imminently based on its current performance.

Ranked as the 22nd highest-grossing film of 2025, Predator: Badlands needs less than $14 million more globally to surpass the Japanese animated feature Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc. The film's narrative follows Dek, a young outcast who allies with a damaged synthetic, Thia, on a perilous journey across wastelands to find a common enemy.
