During the weekend of its release on August 5th, Prey enjoyed the strongest debut of any movie or series on the Hulu streaming platform, and unlike what happened with the box office dive of the last film in the franchise, it looks like Prey’s success has continued past initial release.
According to recent Nielsen ratings, Prey has remained as one of the most currently watched streaming movies post-release, with the film’s total watch minutes now exceeding one billion.
Prey review scores stand at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 71 Metascore on Metacritic, the highest critical aggregate scores on both platforms of any film in the franchise. We gave Prey a 9 out of 10 in our review.

Where is the source of the rumblings coming from? Because the only site I've been to that mentions a November is the Dvd Release site, and they are highly unreliable and do a lot of speculating.
Ha, well I think most people probably rock Disney + anyway. Piracy will always be a thing, but I think there's way less chance of people ripping movies if it's straight on a stream.
Well I wouldn't go that far.
I think this also helped with some unclear parts. Like I loved it on first view, but I definitely had some questions about the ending ......which I watched straight after it finished.
I rewatched it 2 times I the week of release which wouldn't happen normally.
Plus the high quality stream meant no piracy.
The irony is that debuting on a streamer probably saved the franchise. I doubt many people would pay to watch it in a theatre after both Predators and The Predator disappointing.
I hope Alvarez's Alien movie is as good and enjoys similar success.
Well said Aaron.
