I hope so too.
I keep thinking that the female predator is a bad idea - I don't know how audiences will react to heavily armed men shooting at a female ... creature. Even in Aliens, it was girl on girl action with Ripley vs The Queen and let's be honest, the Alien really is an "alien monster" as opposed to the Yatuja (sp) humanoid, civilisation building technologically superior ET. Would mainstream audiences "get it" do you think.
