Early box office numbers forecast a successful first weekend for The Predator, the latest installment of the sci-fi franchise that premiered in previews Thursday, The Hollywood Reporter wrote.
The film debut raked in $2.5 million on Thursday alone, while The Nun earned $2.2 million. The demonic Nun film dominated last weekend's box office, taking in a scary-good $53.8 million, but it's expected to cool down in the coming days with an industry-typical 65 percent drop in its second weekend, to about $20 million, reports Deadline.
