When Does "The Predator" (2018) Take Place?
"The Predator" is a horror science fiction film written by Shane Black with Fred Dekker that released September 14th, 2018. So when is "The Predator" set?
It takes place on the fictional Alien vs. Predator timeline roughly in the year:
We know this because while it is technically unplaceable it must take place after "Alien vs. Predator" (2004), which takes place in 2004 AD, because of the presence of the spear made during that film and we know it takes place before "Predators" (2010), which takes place in 2024 AD. So it must be between 2004 AD and 2024 AD.
~2015 AD

Halloween occurs during the story so we know it is October of whichever calendar year it takes place in.
It is a midway chronological film in the Alien vs. Predator timeline (the chronological sixth film to feature a Yautja predator) and can be watched either at its timeline point or entirely separately.
It was adapted to prose in late 2018.
