The Big Picture 20th Century Studios is looking to get things going this weekend with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the fourth installment in the long-running franchise’s reboot series. Set hundreds of years after 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the movie is tracking ahead of its projected opening weekend haul of over $50 million, thanks to a strong $22 million on Friday, which includes the $6 million that the movie made in Thursday previews.
Directed by Matt Reeves, Dawn and War were both beloved by audiences, scoring glowing reviews for their emotional resonance and state-of-the-art visual effects. Even Rise, directed by Rupert Wyatt, was largely well-liked. Ball had big shoes to fill, and it looks like he’s living up to expectations, with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes earning an 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Poised to debut on digital platforms soon, the much-discussed romantic drama Challengers took the third spot with $1.6 million on its third Friday.
