The box office bomb that marked an iconic franchise’s 4th failed reinvention in a row feasts on streaming scraps

It’s remarkable that the Predator franchise remains as popular as it does when you consider just how many stops, starts, sequels, prequels, reboots, refreshes, reinventions, and crossovers the sci-fi saga has been through since John McTiernan and Arnold Schwarzenegger conspired to deliver an all-time action classic more than 35 years ago.

The drastically underrated Predator 2 is the only direct continuation of the bunch, with 20th Century Fox then spending decades throwing everything at the wall to see what stuck. Paul W.S. Anderson’s Alien vs. Predator was successful-if-underwhelming, but its existence was almost completely ignored by horrendous follow-up Requiem, with the sole exception of the Predalien hybrid.
