Predator: Badlands sets franchise record in opening weekend box office, overtaking original Schwarzenegger movie and Predators

Elle Fanning in Predator: Badlands.

Dan Trachtenberg continues to bring new life to the Yautja. Predator: Badlands, the second installment in the sci-fi franchise to be directed by him, is about to set an incredible opening weekend record, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down.

The film arrived in theatres this week, and as of today, Sunday, November 9, Predator: Badlands has earned the highest-grossing first weekend for the property. Yes, that means it's done better than the 1987 original starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, as well as the 1990 sequel led by Danny Glover, 2010's Predators and 2018's The Predator.
