The Predator goes to the top of the American Box Office

The Predator film will be one step above the North American box office with an estimated income of US $ 25 million. This revenue was obtained from the first week of its airing in 4,037 theaters in the region.

Quoted from Variety, before the weekend, the film's revenue had reached around US $ 10.45 million. Although it is almost certain that it will usurp the top box office throne, the projection of US $ 25 million is actually close to the lower limit of the initial estimate which is in the range of US $ 23 million - US $ 32 million.

Directed by Shane Black, The Predator stars a number of Hollywood stars like Boyd Holbrook, Tevante Rhodes, and Olivia Munn. The fourth film of the Predator franchise includes a group of former soldiers and biologists who fought against the predator in the Georgian Backwood region.

Previously, the film production process was controversial after the director entered the name of actor Steven Striegel as the actor. The reason is, he is one of the perpetrators of sexual abuse in Hollywood.

Not long after the director decided to remove the scene played by Striegel. In addition, both Black and Fox Studio also decided to apologize to other film crews for entering Striegel's name without prior notice.

In the second position after The Predator, the film The Nun competed with an estimated income of US $ 18 million from its screenings at 3,876 theaters. In the previous week, the film produced by The Warner Bros. earned US $ 53 million.

Under The Predator and The Nun, almost certainly will belong to A Simple Flavor, starring actress Anna Kendrick and Blae Lively. The film is expected to reap revenues of US16 million from its screenings at 3,102 theaters.
