Bros and Sistas, make we gist about dis new horror wey don drop for box office: Bone Temple! E dey competin’ hard for MLK weekend, but e no find am funny like dem expect.
So, Sony don drop Bone Temple wey follow the last year horror saga wey dem call 28 Years Later. Di movie suppose make like $20 million plus for four days, but as e be now, dem dey talk say e go land around $15 million – na serious wah o!
Dis movie wey Nia DaCosta direct, dem track am well, but di numbers dey show say e dey lag behind wetin dem plan for am. Last week, di film don manage $5.6 million for Friday, but as di weekend clear, e go just pull about $13 million for di three-day show.
Bone Temple don dey open overseas too, and e don gather like $16.2 million for foreign land, but di domestic na wetin we dey eye. E no reach di $20 million wey dem dey shout about before di launch.
Make we no forget, this horror movie dey fight jostle with big names like Avatar: Fire and Ash wey dey chop plenty cash for di box office. Avatar dey project like $17.6 million this weekend, and dem dey eye almost $400 million for di domestic total. Wao!
Di fans dey show love for Bone Temple; reviews dey hot, with 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and a sweet A- for CinemaScore. But still, e no fit really jive for di big screen.
For di people wey go follow di storyline, Bone Temple get serious palava. E follow Spike as e dey try escape from Jimmy Crystal and also di doctor wey dey find cure for di angry zombie sickness – na serious tori be dat!
As di weekend dey wrap, dem dey expect Bone Temple to still gather some better word-of-mouth as pipo dey appreciate am more. But whether e go fit shake di box office like di first part, dat one dey remain big question mark.
In summary, dis Bone Temple no blow in di way dem dey hope. With double franchise expectations, we dey watch to see how e go perform in di coming weeks.
