Release order
Begin with Predator, then follow release order. The two Alien vs. Predator movies are crossovers and make more sense after you know both parent series.
The hunt changes worlds
Different places.
The same danger.
Jungles, cities, and distant worlds become hunting grounds across the Predator films. There is no single protagonist to follow, which makes each theatrical chapter a possible entry point.

One great journey.
Story order
The main films largely stand alone; release order is our editorial path. We place the AVP crossovers in their own continuity. Prey was released for streaming rather than theatrically and is outside this collection.
