Overview

  • Netflix US will add 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple on March 31 under Sony Pictures’ Pay-1 window deal.
  • The film reached SVOD just 74 days after its January 16 theatrical opening, following a PVOD release on February 17.
  • A physical 4K/Blu-ray/DVD release is scheduled for April 21, extending the film’s rapid multi-platform rollout.
  • The movie earned about $57.8 million worldwide against a reported $63 million production budget, well below typical theatrical break-even.
  • Plans for a third installment remain uncertain, with industry reporting indicating that Netflix performance could influence Sony’s decision.
