Ahhhhh that poster teases the film we should have gotten. :'(

They can't stop using that APC in marketing even though it was cut from the film.

After the shitty result may be they decided to release the other cut of the movie, lol

I doubt it'll be much of a release.

'Passing' a government censorship board shouldn't be a point of celebration in any case.

Holy f**k I want to see that movie instead! :P

That's great news. China will likely ensure "The Predator" reaches profitability.👍

Perhaps upon alternate universes.

As I've stated before, it features nor the cast or the concepts to attract Chinese audiences.

I hope not, this movie deserves to flop, and i dont wanna see the franchice as the iron predator suit vs the dna vams from space...

I've been trying to find the box office numbers for Predators from China alone but haven't been able to find a definite answer.

should hopefully make a fair bit there though?

Predators wasnt released in China in 2010.

A China release won't "save" the movie, but more money at this point is always a good thing. It won't be profitable in it's theatrical run, unless it makes a 150 million in China, but China could actually push this thing, so that it can make some money for the studio in it's home release, which these movies sell very good on.

That being said, it's at a 115 million now, which is actually pretty good. I just wish they didn't waste as much money on this, with the reshoots at night, the scrapped sets and two fully functional hero Predator suits... this movie could have saved at least 20 million.

Either way, we won't get a sequel to this, expect another movie in 5 - 8 years in a full blown reboot with another studio. Disney won't make a Predator movie, they will sell the rights.

So no pussy jokes for them... Sad...

Disney wouldn't be producing Alien or Predator films directly, just like they don't produce Marvel or Star Wars. Those fall under their own studios and Disney distributes

"Terminator Genisys" (which didn't even clear 100 Million domestically), practically broke even thanks to China, and China was the only driving force in getting a "Pacific Rim" sequel greenlit. However, in regards to our favorite green blooded alien, I really have no clue how "The Predator" will be received there.  I would love it to do well there and recover, not necessarily for a direct sequel, but for the studio to recognize enough viability still exists in the franchise to greenlight another film. Sure Paramount cancelled the Genisys trilogy, but saw enough success with "Terminator Genisys" to give a new Terminator another go.

As a consolation prize, I would love a Predator series on a streaming service, but since Disney acquired the rights and are kicking off their own streaming service,  I really wonder if they would consider Predator (and Alien for that matter) a good fit.

Exactly this, I want the film to make some money purely so that Fox/Disney can see that even with mainly negative reviews and fan opinion it can make money.

They can use Fox like Sony uses tristar columbia, right?

Finally, the Fox fanfare and searchlight back in front of Star Wars...

It's sounding like it maybe a possibility that Fox will still exist under Disney.

This movie has the chance to break even, but that's about it i'm afraid.

The rule of thumb: A movie breaks even if it doubles it's budget, if it triples the budget you made good money and it's considered a success.

Without China, this movie is looking at a gross of around 130 million, so technically, it needs 176 million to break even and for the studio to not lose money, that would be 46 million for China.

Possible, but even then no one will be jumping for joy. The DVD/Blu-Ray/VOD sales will make a profit though.

I agree with this: If this makes a 150+ million worldwide and sells well on home video, we could be looking at a small Predator movie in the next couple of years again.

Here's hoping!

Let's face it guys, it's clearly a big disappointment to say the least... I'd say it's even a real failure overall... I always thought it would be from the get go. It was deemed to be a Shane Black movie with Predator shoved in, obviously this wouldn't appeal to as many people as for other big 2018 movies. Now adding studio meddling (who seem pretty bad on this one), a last minute sex scandal, and there you go, financial failure.

I am personally not guaging this in the prism of "The Predator" being deemed as a financial success, I don't think it ever will be perceived that way, however I am just interested in the health of the overall franchise.

I keep going to "Terminator Genisys" because that is a bigger franchise, had a budget almost twice the size of "The Predator" and only made $89 Million not in its opening weekend... but $89M TOTAL in the United States. It didn't even open #1.  But it did break close to even (thanks to China's grosses), apparently giving the studio enough confidence to try Terminator again, just not connected to Genisys.

So that's what I am hoping for with Predator.

QuoteLet's face it guys, it's clearly a big disappointment to say the least

No one said it wasn't, it was certainly not what FOX was hoping for when they greenlit a 88 million budget.

BUT, there is a chance to look beyong this movie, because it was a test, and attempt, to make more money if you spend more money, that was wrong, but it still makes good money if you look at the history of the franchise. Depending on China, it could be the biggest grossing Predator movie to date.

And given the fact that they churned them out for 35 - 40 million in the past, there is the chance that they see further potential in smaller storys.

Also, a franchise with a fanbase like this, there is always more to it than just the movie, you start a whole wave of sales. They release books for this (novels, prequel-books), action figures (Necas highest selling line to date) and replicas in all forms, plus it boost sales for the old movies as well. And on each sold piece, the studio makes money.

The problem is that they have made a movie that non fans dont like, and most of fans dont like it as well... It deserves to be a failure, they should erase it and make a new movie in the future, with predator serious tone. Not a prequel,,, please no more covenant type shit

True.  There are still ways in which the movie can indirectly benefit the franchise as a whole, by paving the way for smaller stories (now that we know the "big picture" equation isn't that appropriate) and more merchandise, i.e. comics, video games, etc.

I cant see it being smaller then this. I dont k ow why it cost so much. But it felt like a smaller lower budget film. I think avp was cheaper to make and had more sets and effect shots i think.

Reshoots, scrapped stuff and a CGI Predator, mostly. There is at least 15 - 20 million on this movie that didn't end up on the screen. It was never planned to be this expensive, why do you think Black had to shoot the 3rd act in full daytime at first?

That being said, they did spend a buck on this, the whole opening sequence, big sets and the finale with McKenna hanging from a spaceship while it's crashing is really well done.

AvP is up until this point the most expensive one yet though, it was 60 million, but that was 14 years ago, if you adjust that for inflation the movie would cost roughly a 100 million now.

Mainly in terms of actors to be honest, parts of it felt quite grand for what it was.

I am going to be the dissenting opinion here and say neither "The Predator" nor "AvP" looked cheap to me.... but "Predators" certainly did.  I cringe sometimes at all the normal Earth flora... or that everyday cloudy sky visible throughout (except for the one shot they could afford to matte the background sky with alien planets.)

Agree. I feel like the movies work better when the cast, setting are more intimate. Smaller scale with quality stories and practical suits.

Just the avp set of avp looked 1000 times more elaborate than the predator, wich looks like it was shoot in the forest behind the studio one night they got drunk.
I dont feel predators as a cheap movie, it has great elements, and about the flora, they have a planet with similar earth conditions, may be they also create that rainforest, its something that doesnt bother to me.
And the super predators are made by practical, thays always nice, even if the design is not well executed, but it doesnt feel cheap as upgradre cgi, and that scene in the forest, it remains me a playstion 2 game..

Damn that's a lot of redub  :laugh:

Worthwhile though?

It was always going to be censored there. Foul language doesn't make a movie. There is still a ton of cool stuff in this, spaceship battles, lots of alien- and gunfights and money shots.

I wonder, do they censor gore stuff too ? I mean the goriest bits ?

The Predator's posters are top notch, I'll give it that.

Awesome poster! Too bad this showdown was extremely short lived :P but still a great shot of the two predators going head to head!

Looks pretty cool  8) But they continue to market the movie as if the fight between the two Predators takes up more of the plot. Which is kind of misleading.

Good point.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how it does over there. It'll really end up being make it or break for a future sequel.

OK, that's enough Internet for me today.

I hope that poster is relased one day sans the lettering.

What the heck is Falconer doing in there?

I wonder what Chinese moviegoers will think when they realise that the ads are way cooler and more interesting than the film...

Great posters, but such a squandered opportunity as a film, really disappointing.

That poster is better than the movie. Damn.

All of them do.

I think they look great :)

What are beautiful, rich colored, fresh, bright posters. They are very cool. This should be a wallpaper on my phone.
It is a pity that the film is not as cool as these posters.

Not good.

They should've just released it on bluray this month and been done with it. It might do decently in home sales, for awhile. But for cryin' out loud, put this poor thing out of its own misery already.

Yeah, not good! Put it out of its misery!  20 Million in its opening 3 days in China, for an 88 Million budgeted film. It will probably finish at 30-40. What were they thinking?   ::)

Yea, we get it's not a great film, not a huge success, but let's not go overboard here with our commentary.  ;)

I'm waiting for Kevin Costner to pop up and say it was a Coup d'état.

Looks like it's finished up with 30 mil in China.

Shane Black&#39;s THE PREDATOR has tracked down $108M int&#39;l, $30M in China.

China's run was nothing more than triage. I didn't think The Predator was a bad movie but it ended up being as pointless as 'Independence Day: Resurgence'.  I think when everything's wrapped up, this movie might have actually did somewhat serious damage to the future big screen hopes of the Franchise.
