AP News • • entertainment
Key Points:
- "Avatar: Fire and Ash" topped the North American box office for the fifth consecutive weekend with $13.3 million in ticket sales over the holiday weekend, maintaining strong audience interest.
- "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," directed by Nia DaCosta, debuted in second place with $13 million and is expected to reach $15 million by Monday, though it trails behind "Avatar's" projected $17.2 million.
- Despite strong critical acclaim and a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score, "The Bone Temple" underperformed relative to expectations, possibly due to audience confusion and the recent release of its predecessor less than a year ago.
- "Zootopia 2" earned $8.8 million in its eighth weekend
