With a strong 92% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple currently stands as the highest-rated entry in the long-running 28 Years Later horror franchise. After completing two weeks in theaters, the film has earned $47.8 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing release of 2026 so far.
Despite the positive critical reception, it seems unlikely that the film will cross its estimated break-even point of $157.5 million, calculated using the 2.5x multiplier rule applied to its $63 million production budget. The film’s theatrical performance once again highlights a harsh industry reality: strong reviews don’t always translate into mass audience turnout, especially in a slow post-Holidays box office.
As The Bone Temple’s global total edges closer to the $50 million mark, questions remain about how much further it can climb, especially amid competition from earlier releases like Avatar: Fire and Ash and The Housemaid, as well as recent box office entries such as Sam Raimi’s Send Help. That said, the horror sequel is still on track to surpass the global box office total of the prequel to the landmark 1976 horror classic, The Omen. Directed by Richard Donner, the legendary filmmaker behind Superman (1978), The First Omen (2024) is the film in question. Here’s how much 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple needs to earn to overtake it worldwide.
