At a time when the fall box office has hit the skids, Hollywood turns its weary eyes to a fanged, fleshy-headed alien to hopefully bail it out as 20th Century Studios’ Predator: Badlands is eyeing, on the low end, a US$60 million global box office start, US$25M+ of that coming from the US and Canada.
The pic reps Disney’s second go-round with sci-fi this fall after Tron: Ares ran off the grid with a US$134.3M worldwide box office total to date off a US$220M production cost.
The difference this time around is that there’s hope for more walk-up business from people under 25 with Predator: Badlands beyond its core older fanbase.
