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.
