The Thing: 13.7 million in the USA
Alien: 80.9 million in the USA.
Predator: 59.7 million USA
Just going with USA grosses, as it was the only data given on the Thing at
http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/So, I have to give the winner of these contests, in my fiscally materialistic fashion to Alien, by FAR.
Predator as well fared much better than the TFAW.
We can argue about cells and copying all day long, but I think based on the numbers it ought to go down like this:
Predator vs. thing:
Predator takes off its jock strap, mounts TFAW, and is somehow immune to TFAW infection as he rapes it. TFAW has the most shocked look on all of its 10+ different faces as it hopelessly tries to turn into some other creature that may stand a chance at escaping the vile penetration of the Predator. When the Predator gets done, he turns on his self destruct device and rams it in one TFAW's plethora of anus's. He then gets into his space ship and gives a high five to all his Pred buddies as they take off leaving the crying sobbing TFAW to is crispy vaporous fate.
Alien vs. TFAW:
Unfortunately TFAW surived the pred-bomb, barely, by separating itself from the anus that had the bomb in it. The remained of TFAW then crawled into a hole just fast enough that it survived but is badly burnt and in extreme agony.
Worse for TFAW an Alien has been awakened from some underground temple, and made its way to the surface. The Alien sees the crispy agonized TFAW, and decides it would be a great place to take a leak. The last gimps of the world around it the TFAW sees as the Alien whips out it's hermaphrodite giger-esque shlong and pisses acid all over it. TFAW dissolves into a sterile puddle of smoldering ooze from the golden shower of Xenomorph urine.
