’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Available Digitally Feb. 17, on Disc April 21

’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ 4K Steelbook

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the horror sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple for digital purchase or rental Feb. 17, and on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD disc April 21.

The 4K edition comes in Steelbook packaging.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is the fourth installment in the “28 … Later” series, which launched in 2002 with 28 Days Later.

In a continuation of the post-apocalyptic virus story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself in a shocking new relationship — with consequences that could change the world as they know it — and Spike’s (Alfie Williams) encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) becomes a nightmare he can’t escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival — the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.

The new film, shot back-to-back with its predecessor and released just a year later, earned $25 million in North American theaters and just under $57 million worldwide, significantly less than 2025’s 28 Years Later.

Home entertainment extras include a commentary with director Nia DaCosta and the behind-the-scenes featurette “New Blood, The Doctor and the Devil, Beneath the Rage.” The digital, Blu-ray and 4K disc editions include bloopers and a deleted scene.

The Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD disc editions also come with redeemable code for a digital copy of the film.

‘Avatar 3′ Tops ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ for Fifth-Consecutive Box Office Win

Disney-owned 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: Fire and Ash apparently won’t be denied a fifth weekend atop the domestic box office. The James Cameron-directed sci-fi fantasy actioner added an estimated $17.2 million in ticket sales across the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, upping the movie’s North American tally past $370 million and $1.26 billion globally.

The result was good enough to hold off Sony/Columbia Pictures’ new release, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, at No. 2 with $15 million in estimated revenue — just 50% of the box office debut of the previous release, 28 Years Later, through June 22, 2025.

“This is a soft opening for the fourth episode in a horror series, with a steep drop from the third episode seven months ago,” David A. Gross with industry letter FranchiseRE, wrote in a post.

Gross contends that, with the average time interval between sequels for a horror movie franchise about 36 months, the seven months between 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and 28 Years Later was a studio misfire.

“It’s too quick, and it’s hurting the numbers,” Gross wrote.

Regardless, Sony eyes an extended theatrical run for Bone Temple following a strong moviegoer rating (‘A-‘ CinemaScore is rare for a horror film; 89% Verified Hot Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score; 4.5-star PostTrak Rating), and excellent critical response (93% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes).

Meanwhile, Disney’s Zootopia 2 added $12 million to become the highest-grossing animated U.S. movie ever with $1.7 billion in worldwide ticket sales, including $390 million across North American screens. (China’s Ne Zha 2 has a reported $2.26 billion theatrical gross, almost all of it from within the Chinese market).

Lionsgate’s The Housemaid continues to play well with moviegoers in its fifth week of release, taking in an estimated$247.3 million worldwide to date — including a projected $10.1 million over the four-day holiday frame for a North American tally of about $108.7 million. Internationally, the Sydney Sweeny/Amanda Seyfried-starrer added $26.6 million from 71 territories to up its foreign gross to $138.6 million.

A24’s Golden Globes-winning Marty Supreme added an estimated $6.6 million to reach $80.8 million through MLK Jr. weekend. The Timothée Chalamet starrer has passed A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once‘s ($77.1 million) to become the studio’s highest-grossing North American release.

Paramount Pictures’ horror film Primate added $6 million to up its two-weekend total past $20 million.

Fathom Entertainment’s re-release of Warner/New Line Cinema’s Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring saw an estimated $4.1 million in ticket sales to up its global tally to near $324 million.

Lionsgate’s Greenland 2: Migration added $3.93 million to up its two-weekend total near $15 million.

Finally, Columbia Pictures’ Anaconda made a projected $3.8 million for the four-day holiday weekend, bringing its total domestic gross to $59.7 million through Monday.

Sony’s ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Set to Wrest Weekend Box Office From ‘Avatar 3’

Sony/Columbia Pictures’ 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple looks to end the four-week reign of 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: Fire and Ash atop the domestic box office with $23.5 million in projected ticket sales through the Jan. 19 Martin Luther King holiday, according to estimates from BoxOfficeReport.com.

The follow-up to last year’s 28 Years Later, Bone Temple stars Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell and Alfie Williams, and features the return of Oscar winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer). It generated $2.1 million in select Thursday screenings.

Avatar: Fire and Ash, which is projected to add $17.8 million in fifth-weekend ticket sales, should see its North American box office reach $368 million, and $1.26 billion globally.

“While it is likely to fall to second place this weekend, Avatar: Fire and Ash will still have a continued presence at the box office,” analyst Daniel Garris wrote in a note.

The lone other addition to the weekend slate is Fathom Entertainment’s re-release of the three movies from Warner Bros./New Line’s “The Lord of the Rings Trilogy” ahead of the 25th anniversary year of The Fellowship of the Ring. The titles are expected to sell $7.5 million worth of tickets.

Meanwhile, Disney Animation’s Zootopia 2 should add $11.2 million in revenue at No. 3, upping it North American tally to near $400 million, and $1.67 billion worldwide.

The tally should be enough to hold off Lionsgate’s growing hit The Housemaid ($10.2 million), directed by Paul Feig and starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, which has topped $200 million milestone worldwide revenue after four weekends in release.

A24’s Golden Globes-winning Marty Supreme and Paramount’s Primate will also battle for weekend box office rankings with $6.1 million and $5.8 million in projected ticket sales, respectively.

“Primate had the clear edge between the two films last weekend, but Marty Supreme should have the much better hold this weekend, especially with Primate having to face new direct horror competition from 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” Garris wrote.

Other returning titles include Lionsgate’s Greenland 2: Migration with a projected $4 million in second-weekend ticket sales, and Sony/Columbia Pictures’ Anaconda, which is projected to add $3.4 million in fourth-weekend revenue.

Paramount’s animated The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants should bring in an estimated $3.3 million in fifth-weekend ticket sales — upping its domestic haul past $68 million.
