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.

Renate Reinsve's Haunting Performance in 'Handling the Undead' Explores Loss and Horror

Norwegian director Thea Hvistendahl's zombie movie "Handling the Undead," premiering at Sundance and to be released in the U.S. by Neon, subverts classic zombie tropes in a visually-charged chronicling of a hot summer's day in Oslo when the dead mysteriously come back to life. The film, based on a novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, focuses on three parallel storylines of grief and loss, featuring stars Renate Reinsve and Anders Danielsen Lie. Reinsve, known for her role in "The Worst Person in the World," portrays a grieving mother in the film, which explores themes of hope and confusion. The director's stylistic choice of a toned down, dialogue-light genre film was inspired by her desire to create a cinematic experience, and the makeup and prop design aimed for realistic depictions of the undead. Despite the buzz surrounding the reunion of Reinsve and Danielsen Lie, they do not share a scene in the film, but their collaboration was secured before the success of "The Worst Person in the World." Reinsve, with multiple projects in the pipeline, hopes audiences will connect with her character in "Handling the Undead" as they did with her previous roles.

Russian forces have been launching waves of attacks on the Ukrainian city of Avdiivka, in an attempt to break the stalemate between the two sides. Ukrainian soldiers have compared the situation to a zombie movie, as Russian units advance overnight and attack in the morning. The tactics used by Russia resemble those used in the past to seize control of other strategically vital towns. The conflict between Ukrainian and Russian forces has been ongoing for months, with both sides deadlocked along a broad front line.
