28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Sets March 31 Netflix Debut After Short Theatrical Window

An accelerated Pay‑1 window under Sony’s Netflix pact follows soft box office, leaving the trilogy finale in question.

Overview

  • The film will begin streaming on Netflix in the United States on March 31, 2026 under Sony’s Pay‑1 agreement.
  • Its SVOD launch arrives 74 days after the January 16 theatrical premiere, a notably faster turn than the usual 90–120 day window.
  • The Netflix move follows a February 17 digital purchase release, with Pay‑1 availability limited to the US and select regions until a broader rollout expected in 2027.
  • Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, the movie is positioned as the middle chapter of Sony’s new trilogy.
  • The Bone Temple grossed about $57.8 million worldwide against a reported $63 million budget, and trade reporting indicates the third installment’s timeline remains unconfirmed.
