Box Office Takings for The Predator

[Samhain13]

Which it will not, there's no Chinese characters and there are African Americans in the film.

So China cares about those things?

[SiL]

Is that actually relevant to that market?

Seems to be the case.

[Uncanny Antman]

It's a terrible movie.  ADI's work on the fugitive was great, though. 

Maybe some day they'll get one last chance to get the mouth right. 

[Russ840]

I still don't understand why they can't get the closed mouth correct.

[The Old One]

Perhaps someone should ask them.

Don't you think Munn (half-chinese, even though not presented like that in the movie) being a major character will help a bit ?

[The Old One]

No.

I do not.

If the Predator-Killer was shown in the advertisements for China- perhaps.

[CristianoRonaldo7]

Alien was and still is way more successful than Predator.

I think people are using the quality of the movie as the main reason for the poor box office numbers.

What was the last sci-fi movie that performed well at the box office?

Blade Runner 2049 is a work of art and is one of/ if not the best sequel every made yet still underperformed at the box office (on a huge budget too).

[Engineer]

Do you count the marvel movies as sci-fi? Lol

No. I mean alien/robot/etc.

Was very underwelming  for me..
Terminator or aliens are top sequels for me

[The Old One]

Controversial opinion;

I prefer Blade Runner 2049 over James Cameron's Aliens .

[Nathsp]

I respect it, for me aliens is the best sequel, cameron did an amazing job, I even saw the lifecicle in the university as an example... Cameron make the alien a realistic creature, you can like it or not, as a biologist i prefer it over the space monster rute..
And blade runner, it was a great movie yes, but it lacks something.. Dont know what..
In fact i ended being and entomologist because james cameron aliens

[The Old One]

Lovecraftian horror > insect.

(Not that I feel James Cameron did that, but perception of his work did.)
