‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Slumps to $47 Million Worldwide as Future Sequel Faces Doubt

The $63 million sequel has grossed about $47 million worldwide after steep week‑two declines.

Overview

  • The film’s totals stand around $21.7 million domestic, $25.3 million international and roughly $47 million worldwide, trailing its reported $63 million budget.
  • Box office momentum collapsed with a roughly 71–73% second‑weekend drop and extremely low per‑screen averages, alongside weekday takes under $500,000.
  • Despite strong reception, including an A- CinemaScore and a high Rotten Tomatoes score, audience turnout has remained weak.
  • Industry coverage points to a mid‑January release window, stiff competition from holdovers and a short gap after the previous entry as key drags on demand.
  • Page Six reports an anonymous industry source questioning whether a third installment proceeds, even as the new film is on pace to surpass 28 Weeks Later domestically.
