Disney’s New Release Sends Global Box Office into Overdrive

Disney’s Send Help opened to about $28.1 million globally (roughly $20M domestic and $8.1M overseas from 47 markets), giving Disney its 10th consecutive worldwide No. 1 weekend as Avatar: Fire and Ash and Zootopia 2 hold strong in other slots; Iron Lung also launched overseas with a smaller footprint. The film, produced for under $40M, highlights Disney’s international reach and the ongoing viability of original, R-rated titles at the global box office.

Deadline forecasts a busy January weekend with Sam Raimi’s Send Help leading the domestic box office at about $15M (3,400 sites) and roughly $25M worldwide after international play, potentially dethroning Avatar: Fire and Ash.

The Paris Hilton documentary Infinite Icon also bows in limited release, adding to a varied slate as Avatar holds the global weekend perch.

Mercy Opens Softly as Pratt’s Sci‑Fi Thriller Stumbles at the Box Office

Mercy opened to $11.2M domestic, the lowest lead‑role debut for Chris Pratt, even though it briefly topped Avatar: Fire and Ash; the wide critical panning (around 20%), weak word‑of‑mouth, and winter weather make a strong rebound unlikely, with streaming on Prime Video a possible lifeline as Pratt looks toward upcoming hits like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

Mercy Takes No. 1 on Snowy Weekend Box Office, Avatar Drops to No. 2

A winter storm kept moviegoing light, but Amazon MGM's Mercy still topped the domestic box office with an estimated $11.2 million, dethroning Avatar: Fire and Ash, which dropped to about $7 million as theater closures and severe weather suppressed turnout; Mercy, a $60 million Chris Pratt thriller about an AI judge, opened to weak reviews (20% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a B- CinemaScore, yet led the weekend. Avatar: Fire and Ash has surpassed $1 billion internationally but domestic performance remains behind the first two Avatar films. The Oscar bump appears faded, though a few nominees like Hamnet and Marty Supreme posted modest gains in limited expansion, while several new releases flopped.

Avatar Holds the Lead as The Bone Temple Opens in Second Over Holiday Weekend

Avatar: Fire and Ash led the North American box office for the fifth weekend with about $13.3 million, while The Bone Temple opened in second at roughly $13 million and is projected around $15 million by MLK Day, still behind Avatar’s roughly $17.2 million. Zootopia 2 placed third, becoming the highest-grossing animated release in the MA category, with The Housemaid and Marty Supreme following in the top five. The Bone Temple benefits from solid reviews (93% Rotten Tomatoes, 72% PostTrak) but faces a challenging profitability path on its $63 million production budget, while international gross stood at $16.2 million."

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is forecast to debut with $15–20M and could top the weekend, outrunning Avatar: Fire and Ash’s $12–17M projection as it seeks to extend its four-week lead; other contenders include Primate, Zootopia 2, and The Housemaid, while the Bone Temple’s director switch and more violent world-building add risk to its momentum.

Bone Temple Aims to Top Box Office Over MLK Weekend

Sony’s The Bone Temple, the fourth entry in the 28 Days Later universe, is aiming for a $20–22 million four‑day domestic debut during the MLK holiday, hoping to edge out James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash, which is projected to add about $18–19 million. The film carries a reported budget around $63 million, follows last June’s $30 million opening for 28 Years Later, and has strong early buzz (Rotten Tomatoes around 94%). Directed by Nia DaCosta with a script by Alex Garland, it centers on a Rage Virus-stricken Britain. January box office is typically slow, and while Avatar 3 remains powerful, it could fade after five weekends as other titles eye openings like Mercy, Send Help, and Shelter.

Hidden Gems: This Year’s Most Overlooked Oscar-Quality Performances

A look at performances that critics and awards chatter ignored this season, highlighting the range from Oona Chaplin’s motion-capture Varang in Avatar: Fire and Ash to Kirsten Dunst in Roofman and Amanda Seyfried across multiple 2025 roles. The piece also spotlights Ralph Fiennes in 28 Years Later, Danielle Deadwyler and Tatiana Maslany in Keeper/The Woman in the Yard, Dylan O’Brien in Twinless, Keanu Reeves in Good Fortune, and Jeffrey Wright in Highest 2 Lowest, arguing that nuanced, high-impact work often slips through the nomination cracks due to release timing, genre biases, and visibility rather than quality.
