Using the Alien franchise as a comparison:
We didn't get a 100M+ domestic total for any Alien film until Prometheus.
Fox must think The Predator can make some serious cash to move it in a prime summer spot.
I'd imagine Shane Black's script is both funny and action packed (and hopefully gory), Here's to hoping it does well (if it is good).

Just so long as they don't place it next to an animated movie or a comedy, it's got a shot.

I hope it does well, Shane Black has done some of my favorite movies and I love Predator.

I'd imagine Shane Black's script is both funny and action packed (and hopefully gory), Here's to hoping it does well (if it is good). August in the summer is NOT a prime summer spot. Its where summer movies go to die. Sure, there have been a few surprise hits in August, and the studios have been trying to expand the summer blockbuster season by dipping into August, but generally speaking its where they put movies they hope will do well but aren't really too optimistic about.
Also Predator suffers from Terminator reboot disease. Who really cares anymore? Alien was saved by the fact that Ridley Scott himself came back to the franchise. If not for that Prometheus would have been a total bomb. As it is it could have been a much bigger hit.
However, I do like Shane Black and the Predator mythos, so I do hope it does well.
