Prey (which was released directly to streaming on Hulu) and Badlands were both directed by Dan Trachtenberg, and the massive critical and audience acclaim for Prey is credited with revitalizing the entire franchise and driving the massive audience turnout for Badlands, which is Trachtenberg's first Predator film released on the big screen.
Not if you adjust for inflation you clowns:
Predator = $27,770,000
Predator 2 = $15,060,000
Predators = $15,490,000
The Predator = $13,450,000
Predator: Badlands = $15,600,000
That's opening day. Also Ticket prices when Predator came out averaged at (An inflation adjusted, so comparable to the other numbers here) $11.20
The average movie ticket now is $16.08
So Predator sold about 2,479,464 tickets for opening day.
Predator Badlands sold about 970,149
Predator sold 2.56 times as many tickets as Predator: Badlands.
Interestingly, the ticket prices when Predator 2 came out actually come to a lower inflation adjusted total of $10.27 per ticket. So Predator 2 sold about 1,466,407 tickets. That's 1.5 times the amount of tickets sold for Predator Badlands.
I really can't be bothered to do the other movies, but the only one I can see selling less actual tickets is The Predator and it's probably real close. Lol.
But keep on with the pretending this is a big hit.
Biggest Predator opening ever 💥
