Wild Lands has the best box office in the history of the saga

Predator: Wildlands has just become the biggest release in the history of the franchise, which opened in 1987 with the Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film debuted grossing almost US$80 million worldwide.

The number was reached with US$40 million raised in the United States, plus US$40 million in the rest of the world – including in Brazil, where the film debuted behind only The Secret Agent. The brand puts the new film above the remake Predatorfrom 2018, which raised US$73.5 million. It is worth noting that the success is also due to the fact that the new film has a lower rating compared to its predecessors, in order to reach a larger audience.
