But it was only available on Hulu, not in movie theaters. The reasons for this were somewhat corporate and technical. “I mean, look, we made it to be a big theatrical experience, and on the downside, it’s not being released that way,” Trachtenberg told Uproxx, “So Hulu hasn’t really had… There hasn’t been a 20th franchise baby that has come out yet. So they’re hoping to really ignite the platform to say, ‘We’re not just putting out the smaller, lower-budget fare. That this is also a place to have giant cinematic experiences.'” Prey deserves a giant cinematic experience, and now it’s finally getting one. On November 5, it’ll be released in theaters as part of a double feature with the new Predator: Badlands. This is a teensy bit of a sneak preview for the new film, which technically comes out on November 7th. Prey stars Amber Midthunder as a young Comanche woman who wants to be a hunter, though she’s trained as a healer—a useful skill when she and her tribe encounter an alien. Empire called it “Effortlessly the best Predator movie since the original,” writing, “Prey proves that, against all expectation, there’s life in the franchise yet, not to mention a thrilling new lead in Amber Midthunder.” Tickets for the Prey/Predator: Badlands double feature are expected to be available here (the site was live earlier but seems to have since been taken down). There’s currently no word on if AMC or other theaters will offer additional screenings.
