Projections for the month of January at the box office indicate that it will achieve the best start to the year in years, mainly driven by the releases of Avatar: Fire and Ash and Zootopia 2. However, the situation is not entirely positive; 28 years later: The Temple of Bones has disappointed by grossing only 13 million dollars in the U.S. and 31 million worldwide, a figure that contrasts sharply with the success of its predecessor, which earned 30 million just in its opening in North America.

28 failures later

Despite this disappointment, the U.S. box office has experienced a significant boost, with a total revenue that has already surpassed 431 million dollars, suggesting the possibility of reaching pre-pandemic box office levels. A notable aspect is the performance of Marty Supreme, which has become A24’s highest-grossing film, showing good international prospects.

The Oscar nominations, which are announced this Thursday, could be a boost for films like Hamnet and No Other Option, which have been in theaters for a while and may benefit from increased public interest. However, the month is expected to remain slow in terms of new releases, except for titles like Return to Silent Hill and Without Mercy, which could face tough competition.

In the Spanish market, the situation is more optimistic, as over the weekend 850,000 viewers were reached, exceeding expectations. Despite the lack of success of the second installment 28 years later, the rest of the cinematic landscape shows good performance, with The Assistant remaining strong at the box office. The industry seems to be rebounding, but we will have to wait and see if these numbers hold in the coming weeks.
