The post-apocalyptic zombie sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, has arrived, but with underwhelming box office on its opening weekend. From here, its journey begins towards its breakeven goal, which is most significant for the film financially. It’s reportedly a modestly budgeted film with a reasonably decent breakeven point. So scroll below to learn how much it must collect to maneuver into the profit zone.
The Bone Temple’s opening weekend collection on the box office
Nia DaCosta‘s film underperformed on the box office in North America. Across 3,506 theaters, the horror sequel collected $13 million on its three-day weekend. Adding the MLK Day collection, the film’s prolonged 4-day cume is $15 million. The Ralph Fiennes starrer film was initially projected to earn around $20 million on its opening weekend on the domestic box office.
In line with Box Office Mojo, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has grossed $16.2 million overseas in its opening weekend. Subsequently, the horror sequel’s global opening weekend collection is $31.2 million. Domestically, the movie did not land #1 within the box office rankings. Despite the strong rankings, the 28 Years Later sequel was unable to make a powerful first impression.
Worldwide collection breakdown
- North America – $15.00 million
- International – $16.20 million
- Worldwide – $31.20 million
What does the film aim to interrupt even?
In line with media reports, including Deadline, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was made on a budget of $63 million, excluding the marketing cost. It has recovered almost half of its price in its opening weekend, but to enter the profit zone, the film must break even. In line with industry standards, a movie must earn 2.5 times its production cost to interrupt even on the box office.
Based on that, The Bone Temple needs around $158 million to interrupt even on the box office. Now, its predecessor, which grossed $30 million on its opening weekend, didn’t cross this mark on the box office. The 2025 horror flick had a reported budget of $60 million and grossed $151.3 million, breaking even and earning a profit. It had a rough start and can rely on word of mouth to succeed in its goal. But when done well, it just isn’t an achievable goal.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was released on January 16.
