The box office results for the weekend show that "Avatar: Fire and Ash" continues to hold the top position, remaining No. 1 despite the release of "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple." The latter film opened behind "Avatar: Fire and Ash," indicating a strong performance for the sequel in comparison to the new release. "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" is part of a franchise that has garnered attention, but it did not surpass the established popularity of "Avatar: Fire and Ash" during its opening weekend (AP News, Variety).
