Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later (2025), the third entry in the 28 Days Later rage-virus horror series, runs 115 minutes (1 hour 55 minutes). It has no mid-credits or post-credits scene, and it played in standard and premium theaters before moving to VOD, streaming, and disc. Sony Pictures Releasing opened it 19 June 2025 in the UK and 20 June 2025 in the US. That release positions it as the start of a new story phase, with a follow-up already filmed.

How long should you plan for?
Showtimes.com lists the theatrical runtime as 115 minutes, or 1 hour 55 minutes, for horror and thriller showtimes including Chicago theater listings. The film carries a 15 certificate from British regulators for strong bloody violence, gore, horror, and very strong language. 25th Frame's breakdown of BBFC data also reports 115 minutes in its June classification report.
Add trailers, ads, and travel time on top of that figure. Some secondary outlets list 126 minutes, which conflicts with the BBFC and exhibitor listings. Plan for 115 minutes plus previews.
Do you need to stay for the credits?
No. Collider reports that the film contains no mid-credits or post-credits teaser in its credits-scene check.
You miss no Marvel-style story tag by leaving when credits start. The closing sequence intercuts footage recapping events from the film itself. NME describes that montage as recap material with no new continuation before Nia DaCosta's sequel, Bone Temple.
What did theaters offer?
The theatrical run covered standard auditoriums and premium large-screen options. The official site listed immersive choices including 4DX, according to Screen Rant's guide to showtimes and streaming.
That range matters for sound and motion preferences. Standard digital gives the full story in a calmer seat. Premium and 4DX add scale, louder bass, and motion effects.
Which home version preserves the full look?
Home options arrived in stages. What's on Netflix reports premium VOD purchase from 29 July 2025, Netflix US streaming from 20 Sept. 2025, and physical release from 23 Sept.
