Kevin Durand and Peter Macon talk experience working on 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.'

The film from 20th Century Studios and Disney that built on the rebooted “Apes” trilogy of the 2010s had the third highest opening of the year, after the $81.5 million debut of “Dune: Part Two” in early March and the $58.

“This franchise has never been allowed to lose its momentum,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. “There are very few franchises that have this kind of longevity.” “Kingdom” came with strong reviews and positive buzz . It was especially praised for its visual effects and the way its CGI has caught up with its primates-on-horseback aesthetic even since the last film, 2017's “War for the Planet of the Apes.”The shot in the arm is welcome for the movie business, but there is little certainty in the forthcoming summer.
