Box Office: 'The Predator' Bites Off $24 Million Bow
"The Predator" was able to fend off "The Nun" at the domestic box office. Shane Black's "The Predator" launched with a tepid $24 million from 4,037 North American locations. That was easily enough to top the weekend box office, but not enough to land a franchise-best debut. That distinction still belongs to 2010's "Predator" with $24.7 million (not including the two "Alien vs. Predator" crossover films). Overseas, "The Predator" earned $30.7 million for a global start of $54.7 million. It will need to generate big business internationally to justify its $88 million production budget.
