The very first Predator film will return to cinemas once again across UK and Ireland in celebration of its 30th Anniversary. Unlike Alien and Aliens which have graced our cinemas many times in recent years, this marks the first time that a Predator film has been re-released.

In association with Park Circus, Predator will be shown for one night only on Thursday November 9th in Cineworld, Vue and Picturehouse cinemas. For those old enough to have seen back in 1987, you will get to relive those memories of one of Arnie’s best films and for those who didn’t, this will be one of the rare times you will get to see it in a theatre.

Here’s a special re-release Predator trailer courtesy of Empire:

Predator will also be shown in select European countries too around the same time.

Will you be going to see the Predator re-release? Did you see it in theatres back in 1987?

I'm really jazzed about this. I've never had the chance to see Predator on the big screen. Can't wait to get my tickets sorted.

Ooooohhh I'm definitely up for this and I even have that whole week off anyway (by coincidence)  - Yus!

I've managed to see "Alien", "Aliens" and "Blade Runner" in the cinema now when they've been re-shown in recent years so I'll happily add "Predator" to that list :)

I wish they would do this in The Netherlands

Actually they are. It will be in six cities in the Netherlands on Monday 6th November. Follow the link to Park Circus.

Defo gonna see this with the family lol.


memories for them! lol

I definitely have to see this at the cinema.

Also that trailer is awesome

Lucky for everyone in the UK it'll def be a blast from the past. Please do share your experiences in the cinema. The first time I saw Predator was on VHS😀 I can only imagine the "one ugly m@&$)&@" with the unmasking scene on the big screen equates standing ovation!

Yaasss! I have booked that week off work to play Call of Duty WW2. I wasn't planning on leaving the sofa but now this will pull me away from the Xbox. 2017 has been a great year at the cinema, Prometheus, alien, T2 3D, covenant and now Predator. All I need now is a blade runner sequel preferably set 30 years after the original and staring Ryan Gosling and my life will be complete.

Well...funny you should mention that...!  :P

I just checked Australia and it was the 12th of July here. I feel slightly sick. Still Blade Runner tonight might make up for it.

It doesn't look like it's aligned to any specific date. I mean Predator showed over here in November at some film festival according to IMDB but it wasn't widely released until the New Year in 88.

Yeah I think it's just random. I've had buddies in Canada watch other old releases this year. They are calling it rewind here in Australia. I noticed other movies pop up. Like we are getting Sean of the dead at the end of October.

Wow...what an anticlimactic trailer. Lol That being said...definitely going to see this! It'll be a first because unfortunately, this is the only predator/related film I missed theatrically. Probably cause I was 5. Can't wait!!

I feel like I should express myself here on this.

Just seen a superb new trailer for the predator re-release at the cinema. It certainly played up the horror elements and gave me goosebumps.

Different to the one in the initial post?

Ah sorry my bad. But seeing it on the big screen in a darkened cinema is certainly something.

Its playing with The Ritual.

(jealousy from denmark)

I spotted a poster for the re-release in a Cineworld Cardiff earlier this week -

Was at a different Cineworld today and saw another poster. T-minus 4 days! I'm really excited.  ;D

Cant wait to see it on the Big Screen :)

Whereabouts are you based, Whiskey?

Mate, if you're in seq... event cinema in brisbane is playing it on the 12th for the anniversary but it's a private company that rented one of their theatres so tickets can't be purchased from event cinemas, they need to be pre purchased online

Do you have a link handy for those interested?

Mother dicker, I might just go to that.

I liked the movie but the predator was shoehorned in.

::) Your trolling is just getting silly now.

Tonight's the night for me.  ;D

Its gonna be a fun packed screening

I saw this at Vue Bristol. I too have seen this film more times than I can count. The pq was the best I've ever seen it, ok so it was the dnr version and no grain in sight but I thought it was stunning. Some of the detail was very good, particularily Macs sweat beads after firing off Ole Painless. But.... There were a few  scenes where the image was out of focus probably due to the original source (??) but I'm not complaining. Sq was spot on. Was ace seeing it on a big screen.

Yeah, was definitely the recent digital remaster done for the Blu-rays. The DNR is pretty bad early on in the briefing scene but otherwise I think it's fine. If anything, what I really noticed in the cinema was the audio. Found myself hearing dialogue I hadn't picked up on before, noticing some of the dips in the audio quality. I love seeing these films on the big screen, always find some new detail or something I miss out on at home.

My screen was pretty busy too which I was really glad to see.

Yeah it was fantastic to finally see and hear it on the big screen. Hearing some of the dialogue clearer than I heard before. It was strange hearing the sound as Mac "Shaved" *stop shaving you don't have a beard*

I swear there were a couple of extra shots I'd never seen before. Just little pieces here and there.

The film even had a few laughs in my audience lol

Although one guy tried to ruin it by taking pictures of the film. He was forced to leave when he was caught. His mates didn't leave with him though lol

I too thought there was an extra shot in it. Right before you see the crashed helicopter, it was just a shot of the jungle I thought I hadn't seen before. Weird.

That was one of them yeah. Im glad someone else noticed newness

There was a shot before that too but I can't remember what of. Was it when they first absail from the helicopters?

Yes. Yes it was lol

and another was an extra shot of Billy in the destroyed Guerilla camp

I noticed a few things I'd never seen before. Maybe because you're drawn in in such a different way seeing it on the big screen. Like Macs shirt being ripped front and back when he strips his packs off. I couldn't figure out why this was. Other little subtleties too, made for great viewing.

More dates have been released in the UK at certain VUE cinemas. Check their website. I'm going back to see it at the end of this month again.

Yeah id forgotten about that lol

I also noticed that when the Predator comes out of the water and goes past muddy Dutch, he has a skull and spine dangling from him.

Yeah i noticed that so late ! Probably Billy or Blain's maybe ?

It can't be Billy's, since we see him remove that later. It'd be Hawkins or Blaine.

Ohh wait... Maybe Dillon ? He's a worthy prey, even though we saw three skulls with no spines and he could have been one of them...

And, just to talk about something that bothered me since the beginning... Who is the skull with the hole in it ? Poncho or Mac ? I tend to think it's Mac because of the localisation of the hole, but i'm not totally sure.

I assume its meant to be Mac as Poncho was in the side of the head.

or it could be one of the missing Green Berets

Im just back from seeing this at my local Vue tonight as they put on an extra screening and I can confirm that there are no extra scenes. It was my imagination. Loved seeing it again though in the cinema.

It must have just been seeing the film on the big screen giving some shots a new look then

Yes you're right. I made a mental note of shots i didnt recall and watched them on blu ray as soon as i got home and they were all there.

Crazy how your mind plays tricks like that, like seeing something in the jungle
