The film’s total domestic gross now sits at a solid $66.027 million, accounting for 48.8% of its overall earnings.

The seventh installment in the iconic Predator franchise, Predator: Badlands flips the script, this time featuring a predator as its protagonist.

Over the weekend, the film topped the box office in Colombia, France, Nigeria, and South Africa, to name a few.

The film topped the box office in countries like China, India, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea over the weekend.
