"Bone Temple" Zombies Bring in Modest but Promising Start
A modest start has been made by the zombie flick "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple", which opened at $31.1 million worldwide, with domestic audiences contributing a relatively smaller sum of $15 million. Although this falls short of its predicted target of $20-22 million, it's worth noting that the film may still benefit from word-of-mouth in the coming weeks.
Critics and audiences alike have been generally positive towards the film, which could help to boost its box office performance over time. With Sony already greenlighting a third installment featuring Cillian Murphy reprising his role as original star Danny Glover's character, it will be interesting to see how "28 Years Later" performs in comparison to other recent releases such as "Primate", "No Other Choice", and the highly successful "Avatar: Fire and Ash".
In its fifth weekend at the box office, "Fire and Ash" continues to impress with a projected $17.2 million domestic haul, bringing its total domestic earnings to $363.5 million and global grosses to $1.31 billion. The Disney animated film has now cemented itself as Hollywood's highest-grossing movie of all time.
As the next few weeks unfold, it will be crucial to monitor "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple"'s performance in order to determine its long-term viability on the big screen.
