Predator: Badlands - A New Chapter in the Predator Franchise

The latest installment in the Predator franchise, Predator: Badlands, has hit theaters with a strong opening weekend, potentially setting a new record for the series. Unlike the consistent box office success of the Alien franchise, Predator films have maintained a loyal fan base over the years, with some entries evolving into cult favorites.

While some Predator films like Predator 2 have gained appreciation over time, others like the Alien vs. Predator movies have been considered disastrous, with the sequel, Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, receiving even harsher criticism. Even the more well-received sequels like Predators have struggled to fully resonate with audiences, with The Predator (2018) being a particular disappointment for many fans and critics.

Under the direction of Dan Trachtenberg, the Predator series seems to have found its footing again with strong entries like Prey, Predator: Killer (or Killers), and now Predator: Badlands. The question of which Predator sequel is the best remains a topic of debate among fans. Be sure to cast your vote in our poll and explore our complete Predator Movies Ranked list for more insights.
