The latest installment in the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise, 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,' has had a strong opening weekend with $58.5 million in domestic ticket sales and $131 million worldwide. Despite being the fifth film in the modern series, it ranks fifth in opening weekend sales with $5.2 million compared to its predecessors. The film has received an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the fifth 'Planet of the Apes' movie to be certified fresh. Directed by Wes Ball, the movie has been praised for its visual spectacle, depth, and intensity. The film stars Owen Teague and Freya Allan, who have been commended for their performances. However, the movie's debut in China was lackluster, earning approximately $11.5 million in its opening weekend and is expected to make $31 million by the end of its run. In Korea, the film opened second behind 'Roundup: Punishment.' The movie also achieved the third best debut in US/CAN in 2024.

Apes are still good. Apes are still very, very good. The most consistent big-budget franchise of the 21st century keeps rolling. Knew the effects would be good, but both direction and writing stand out and many new characters/performances leave a lasting impression.
