Nia DaCosta discusses The Bone Temple’s ending, signaling that Samson isn’t fully cured and Jim returns with daughter Sam, with Selena/Hannah’s fate left open; she frames the story around a moral clash between Kelson’s hopeful humanity and Jimmy’s dogmatic ritualism and teases a third film to resolve remaining questions about the Jimmies and Jim’s future.
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.

Cillian Murphy returns as Jim in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a grounded, end-scene comeback directed by Nia DaCosta from Alex Garland’s script.

The Bone Temple picks up immediately after 28 Years Later, delivering a tighter, gorier follow-up that expands the world with dual storylines—Spike/Jimmy’s survival and Dr. Kelson’s zombie research—while balancing scares, dark humor, and character-driven themes that set up the trilogy’s next chapter.
