It was a close battle, but Avatar: Fire and Ash managed to stay at the top of the box office charts, barely fending off 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
Avatar: Fire and Ash took in another $14.5 million, bringing its domestic total to $364.7 million and its worldwide total to $1.3 billion. It’s the fourth-biggest film of 2025 domestically and the third-biggest worldwide.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple opened in second place with $13 million. That’s a drastic drop from last summer’s 28 Years Later, which opened to over $30 million, but June and January are also very different movie markets. The movie got an A- CinemaScore, which is better than 28 Years Later, so audiences who are seeing it seem to be enjoying it, but audiences expecting a more traditional zombie film from last summer’s entry in the franchise may have been turned off and didn’t come out for this one. Worldwide, the movie has made $29.1 million.
Zootopia 2 moved back into third place with another $9.2 million. It has grossed $390.4 milion domestically and $1.7 billion worldwide, making it the biggest US animated film ever worldwide and the ninth biggest film of all time.
The Housemaid and Marty Supreme rounded out the top 5, with the former now having grossed over $200 million worldwide.  Marty Supreme is at $92.9 million worldwide, and we’ll have to see how many Oscar nominations it racks up later this week and if that gives it a boost.
Primate dropped 55% from last weekend’s opening, making another $5 million and bringing its domestic total to $19.6 million after two weeks. In tenth place, the re-release of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers made $2.6 million and was the highest-grossing of the trilogy, all of which were re-released this past weekend via Fathom Events.
The best per-theater average went to A Private Life, starring Jodie Foster, which made $13,382 in each of the five theaters it played in.
