Horror film "28 Years Later" becomes highest-grossing installment in the series

The film premiered on June 20. The cult director who worked on the first part of the franchise returned to the film. And for good reason.

According to stats from Box Office Mojo, Danny Boyle's film has pulled in an impressive $100 million in its first ten days. But calling this a massive success might be premature – unlike the first two fast-zombie films that were made on relatively modest budgets, "28 Years Later" carried a hefty $75 million price tag. To break even, the film needs to hit around $150 million.

"28 Years Later" isn't directly connected to the previous films – "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later." The story takes place on a remote island where a teenager tries to find a cure for his mother alongside his father. Meanwhile, Britain has completely descended into chaos. The zoomboola.com team reminds readers: Danny Boyle previously revealed that Cillian Murphy might return in the next film from the "28 something later" series, but it'll depend on the commercial success of "28 Years Later." Murphy played the lead in the very first film of the series. That movie became a cult classic and largely made the actor a major star.
