The Predator series has roared back to life, drawing both critical acclaim and impressive ticket sales. The newest chapter, Predator: Badlands, hit theaters on November 7 and has quickly become a force to be reckoned with at the box office. Audiences have flocked to see the film, which introduces Dimitrius Schuster-Kaloamatangi as Dek, a young outcast from his predator clan. Dek's journey centers on his quest for redemption, as he sets out to prove himself by tracking down the most formidable prey imaginable.
New Faces and High Stakes
Joining Schuster-Kaloamatangi are Elle Fanning in a dual role, portraying both Thia and Tessa. These characters are research synths, engineered by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, adding a fresh dynamic to the story. The film's blend of new talent and familiar sci-fi elements has struck a chord with longtime fans and newcomers alike, fueling its rapid rise in popularity.
Box Office Showdown
As Badlands continues its strong run, it has managed to outshine one of the most notable action franchises in recent memory. The film's performance has eclipsed that of Sylvester Stallone's Creed, a series often seen as a rival to Arnold Schwarzenegger's original Predator legacy. This box office victory not only cements the franchise's comeback but also pays homage to its roots by surpassing the achievements of its biggest Hollywood competitors.
