February 18, 2026
The 20th Century Studios sci-fi actioner Predator: Badlands has reportedly topped 9 million views in the five days since its Feb. 12 SVOD platform release — the most-streamed theatrical release on Hulu since the “Predator” prequel Prey in 2022.
Within 24 hours of its debut, the film became the number one most-streamed movie on Hulu in the country. It is currently the most popular movie globally on Disney+ across foreign territories. Hulu is not available outside the U.S. as a standalone service.
“Badlands,” which deepens Yautja lore by introducing new characters Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) and Thia (Elle Fanning),” generated $184.5 million at the global box office, including $91 million across North American screens.
Set in the future on a deadly remote planet, the film follows Dek, a young Predator outcast from his clan, who finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
The movie also topped the DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group’s top 10 digital sales and rentals chart provided by GfK Entertainment for the week ended Feb. 8.
