Disney's Sci-Fi Thriller 'Predator: Badlands' to Hit Streaming Platforms Next Month
The sci-fi thriller 'Predator: Badlands', starring Elle Fanning, has been making waves in theaters since its release on November 7th. As the film nears its two-month mark in the box office, fans are eagerly waiting for it to become available on digital streaming platforms.
According to industry norms, most major studios follow a standard release pattern where their films are made available on premium video on demand (PVOD) anywhere between a month and six weeks after they open in theaters. As 20th Century Studios, a subsidiary of Disney Studios, 'Predator: Badlands' is expected to stick to this 60-day window.
Based on historical trends, it's likely that the film will become available for purchase or rent on digital streaming platforms like Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video, and YouTube Movies & TV starting January 6th, 2026. The cost of viewing 'Predator: Badlands' on PVOD is expected to range from $19.99 to $29.99 for purchase and $14.99 to $24.99 for rent.
At the box office, 'Predator: Badlands' has been performing steadily, with a current total earnings of $180 million worldwide, including $88.2 million internationally and $91.8 million domestically. The film opened in 2,080 North American theaters, generating $1.8 million over the weekend of December 5th-7th.
The seventh installment in the Predator franchise, 'Predator: Badlands' marks the latest release from director Dan Trachtenberg, who took over the franchise with the 2022 film 'Prey'. The film's plot revolves around a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finding an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) and embarking on a treacherous journey to find its ultimate adversary.
While 'Predator: Badlands' has drawn comparisons to another sci-fi franchise, Alien, the film does not feature the iconic Xenomorphs. Instead, it incorporates synthetic beings from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Despite this, fans of both franchises are eagerly awaiting their next viewing experience. With its release on PVOD expected around mid-January, 'Predator: Badlands' is set to provide a thrilling conclusion to its theatrical run.

. Like, can't we just get the movie already?! It's been out in theaters for months and now we have to wait another year to see it on streaming platforms? 
Meanwhile, other movies are getting released straight to digital and we're stuck waiting. It feels like a way to keep people from canceling their subscriptions or spending money on new releases 
. And don't even get me started on the prices... $19.99 to $29.99?! That's just crazy 
. Can't they find a better balance between giving us access to the movies we want and making some money?
I'm kinda bummed that it's taking Disney so long to put 'Predator: Badlands' on streaming platforms... 60 days is pretty standard, but it feels like fans are stuck waiting for too long 
! Anyway, I'm hyped that 'Predator: Badlands' will be on streaming soon. Can't wait to see more of Elle Fanning in action... and hopefully, some awesome synth-beasts 
. Maybe it'll get a boost when it drops on PVOD. Either way, I'm hyped for some sci-fi thrills & chills 
January can't come soon enough! I've seen it in theaters and it's been totally blowing my mind with that intense sci-fi action 
Elle Fanning is on fire in this flick, and the special effects are insane 
Can't wait to rewatch it at home and see what all the fuss is about! 
The cost is around $20 which is totally worth it for a sci-fi thriller like this!
. And let's be real, $20+ for a movie that's probably gonna be mediocre at best? Yeah, no thanks 
. At this point, I'm starting to think that Disney is more concerned with lining their pockets than actually making good content...
elle fanning looks stunning in it too 
the sci-fi genre never fails to give me goosebumps 
. Can't wait to dive into this one and see what all the fuss is about! 
Thia and the young Predator teaming up, whoa! Fingers crossed for some epic action scenes
