"Avatar: Fire and Ash" Tops Box Office; "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" Opens Second

James Cameron's "Avatar: Fire and Ash" led the North American box office for the fifth consecutive weekend with $13.3 million in ticket sales. Sony Pictures' "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," directed by Nia DaCosta, opened in second place with $13 million domestically and $16.2 million internationally. Despite strong reviews and audience recommendations, the horror sequel's earnings fell short of expectations, with a $63 million production budget and a recent prior installment possibly affecting performance.
