For ‘Predator: Badlands,’ the weekend box office was the, um, good lands

Hello! Welcome to The Box Office Report for the weekend of Nov 7-9, 2025.

1. Predator: Badlands

Weekend gross: $40M
Total domestic gross: $40M
Last weekend: New release
Percent drop: NA

Fueled by stellar reviews and word of mouth, Predator: Badlands blew away its competition this weekend. Director Dan Trachentenberg has put his mark on the Predator franchise, making the jump from the straight-to-streaming Prey in 2022 to landing the franchise’s first theatrical release since 2018’s The Predator.

Badlands’ $40 million opening weekend was the franchise’s biggest debut, topping the opening weekends from crossover film AVP: Alien Vs. Predator ($38.2 million) and Predators ($24.8 million).

2. Regretting You

Weekend gross: $7.1M
Total domestic gross: $38.6M
Last weekend: 2nd
Percent drop: 9

Despite Sunday estimates putting Regretting You at No. 1, it turned out director Josh Boone’s adaptation fell short of holding off Black Phone 2 for the top spot at the box office. Regretting You clearly beat Black Phone 2 this weekend, though, putting just under $2 million of distance between it and the sequel.
