We all love a good creature feature. From Jaws, Alien, Godzilla, to Jurassic Park, when done right, the movies thoroughly entertain fans worldwide, irrespective of language or region. The blend of themes like horror, survival, or sci-fi further elevates the feature and glues the audience to their seats. Among them is the Predator franchise, now owned by The Walt Disney Company since the House of Mouse merged with 20th Century Studios.
First started in 1987, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, director John McTiernan’s Predator became a phenomenon. We follow Dutch (Schwarzenegger), a leader of a paramilitary rescue team on a mission to save hostages in a Central American rainforest, who encounters a deadly Predator. The 64% Rotten Tomatoes-rated movie became a huge success, earning $98.3 million worldwide. A sequel, Predator 2, was directed by Stephen Hopkins with a storyset a decade after the events of the original and brought in a new cast led by Danny Glover. However, it wasn’t received as well as its predecessor, but it has since become a cult classic.
It seems fans are revisiting the feature for a nostalgia hit, given Predator and follow-up Predator 2 are on Tubi’s top 10 list, as per FlixPatrol. While Predator 2 is at the top spot, the original feature is at the fifth, and the list also includes Tommy Lee Jones’ U.S. Marshals, Martin Scorsese’s iconic Goodfellas, Tom Cruise’s A Few Good Men, among others.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max

🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars

01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
Advertisement
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
Advertisement
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
Advertisement
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Advertisement
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Advertisement
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Advertisement
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Can Return for Another ‘Predator’ Movie
In the years since the success of the original film, the franchise expanded with four more movies, prequels, and anthologies. Director Dan Trachtenbergtook over the reins with a successful prequel, Prey,which led to Killers of Killers, the success of which was followed by the theatrical entry Predator: Badlands. The movies are unarguably some of the best in the franchise, which has grossed over $700 million worldwide. Now, fans are eagerly waiting for another film.
While there was some contention about the director’s return to Disney IP after his overall deal with Paramount, he cleared the air by revealing that he’s indeed working on the next film. And Trachtenberg might take the franchise back to its roots in the next one. It seems fans might get more than what they asked for, as Schwarzenegger previously revealed that he’s in “talks” for the next movie. He praised Trachtenberg’s survival-driven vision, “They did an additional Predator, and the director (Dan Trachtenberg) has been doing a great job of that,” he said. Adding, “Now, he wants me to be in the next Predator. We’ve talked about it. As a matter of fact, FOX studios has kind of rediscovered Arnold.” While nothing is set in stone, fans will have to wait and see what pans out.
Meanwhile, Predator and its follow-up are streaming for free on Tubi. Stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.
