Dan Trachtenberg's "Prey" is out now on Hulu, and it is making serious waves. The new"Predator" prequel film takes place 300 years before the iconic 1987 original starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and sees the alien hunter fightings warriors of the Comanche tribe of Native Americans on the Great Plains. At the story's heart is Naru (Amber Midthunder), an aspiring hunter with insane parkour skills and a loyal dog named Sarii who seeks to prove herself to her peers. But the strange presence Naru encounters in the forest proves far more deadly than expected.
20th Century Studios, the longtime producer of the "Predator" franchise, has just announced that "Prey" is the No.1 premiere to date on Hulu, based on hours watched for its first three days. That includes both television and movie debuts. We don't have exact numbers, but it's still exciting to hear that the great word of mouth the movie has been getting is translating to actual viewership.
