Prey: new Predator movie is the #1 premiere on Hulu to date!

Prey, a new entry in the Predator franchise, was released through the Hulu streaming service last Friday – and while many Predator fans were left wishing they could have had the chance to see this movie on the big screen, it doesn’t look like there’s going to be any regrets about the release strategy at Hulu or 20th Century Studios. That’s because Prey is the #1 premiere on Hulu to date, including all film and TV series debuts. Prey is also the most watched film premiere on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ under the Star Banner in all other territories, based on hours watched in the first three days of its release.

If you’re still wondering whether or not you should check out Prey for yourself, you can see what other JoBlo readers had to say about the movie at THIS LINK, read our own Lance Vlcek’s 7/10 review HERE, or find out what original Predator cast member Jesse Ventura thought about it HERE. Or you can listen to Ventura’s Predator co-star Bill Duke, who tweeted that Prey is an “amazing film”:

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) from a screenplay by Patrick Aison (Jack Ryan), Prey has the following synopsis:

Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, Prey is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.

Prey is available on Hulu entirely in Comanche as a language option, or with Comanche subtitles, which is the first time a feature-length movie on a direct-to-consumer streaming platform has been available in the Comanche language in its entirety.

John Davis produced Prey with Marty Ewing and Jhane Myers, who is a Native Comanche. Lawrence Gordon, Ben Rosenblatt, James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas, and Marc Toberoff served as executive producers.

The film stars Amber Midthunder (Roswell, New Mexico), Dakota Beavers (of the band WesternBoy), Stormee Kipp (Sooyii), Michelle Thrush (The Journey Home), Julian Black Antelope (Tribal), Cody Big Tobacco (The Revenant), Skye Pelletier (Burden of Truth), Tymon Carter (The Emigrants), and Harlan Blayne Kytwayhat (Shoresy), with Dane DiLiegro (American Horror Stories), a 6’9″ former basketball player who has experience working in creature suits, as the Predator.
