Overview

  • The film has collected $103 million worldwide in its first two weekends, surpassing all previous entries in the 28 Days Later franchise.
  • It opened to over $30 million domestically and reached $50.3 million in North America by its second weekend, but the follow-up weekend saw earnings drop by about two-thirds.
  • International markets contributed $52.7 million to the total after the second weekend despite a 54% decline from the prior week.
  • High production costs—from star salaries and inflation to modified iPhone cinematography—have set the $60 million budget’s break-even threshold at roughly $150 million.
  • Sony has slated the next sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, for January 16, 2026, and any third installment hinges on sustained box-office success.
