Sony Pictures is testing the strength of one of its most respected horror franchises as 28 Years Later The Bone Temple enters theaters over the Martin Luther King Jr holiday frame. The key question facing the industry is whether the zombie sequel can finally push James Cameron’s Avatar Fire and Ash out of the number one spot after weeks of dominance.

The Bone Temple is the fourth film in the long running 28 Days Later series and is projected to earn between 20 million and 22 million dollars over the four day holiday weekend. That puts it in direct competition with Avatar Fire and Ash which is expected to bring in roughly 18 million to 19 million during the same period. If projections hold the Sony release has a real shot at claiming the top position and ending Avatar’s reign after five consecutive weekends.
