Multiple industry articles have proclaimed the latest predator movie a big success after a “strong” opening weekend of… just $40 million domestic and $83 million global. Against a projected budget of over $100 million. With analysts saying it needs $262 million to break even.
By what metric is this a success? By straight comparison to the original, of course! The first predator only made $12 million domestic in its opening weekend!
In 1987.
As a completely new IP.
On fewer than half as many screens.
And then went on to make 80% of its total run after opening weekend.
On a budget of just $18 million.
Movie industry media are attaching Saturn V rockets to every goalpost and firing them into fucking space just to manipulate audiences into thinking this modern slop is popular and good. This shit will be lucky to lose $50 million.
Which is hilarious because a) he didn't see the first one then b) doesn't realize they aren't hair. The left is retarded. But it's hilarious how in 1990 movie is bad because the monster looks like a black guy and in 2025 movie is bad unless the monster looks like a bad guy. Different sides of the faggotry coin.
