This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Summary Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes earned $56 million in its first weekend at the box office.
Kingdom now has the second-highest opening weekend in the franchise, after Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
With a $160 million budget, Kingdom is still a long way from profitability, despite its excellent first weekend.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is destroying its competition at the box office. As the sequel to the original reboot movies, Kingdom follows an entirely new cast of apes, who are surviving in the aftermath of the Simian Flu Crisis. Noa, played by Owen Teague, stands alongside Freya Allan's Mae as he works to bring justice to the Eagle Clan. All the while, he needs to discover just how Mae has become an intelligent human.
The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes cast is extensive, but the resulting high $160 million budget has been rewarded at the box office. According to a report by Variety, Kingdom has earned a massive total of $56 million in its first weekend at the box office, coming in at the top spot for the week. It is the second-highest debut for a Planet of the Apes reboot movie, though it falls short of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' $72 million take.
