Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Rockets to Over $160 Million in Week One
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has emerged as a box office juggernaut, surpassing industry expectations with an impressive global gross of over $160 million in its opening week. The film's stellar performance continued throughout the weekdays, establishing a solid foundation for its continued dominance.
While its box office haul may not match the heights of previous installments in the Planet of the Apes franchise, it is noteworthy that the film arrives after a seven-year hiatus and in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has significantly altered film consumption patterns. The fact that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is drawing substantial audiences indicates a continued appetite for the franchise.
Poised for a $400 Million Plus Lifetime
Despite mixed reviews, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has sparked positive word-of-mouth, fueling speculation about its long-term box office trajectory. Industry analysts believe the film is on track to cross the coveted $400 million mark in its lifetime gross, a significant milestone for a movie with a production budget of around $160 million. The film's non-theatrical revenue streams, including home media sales and merchandise, are expected to further bolster its profitability, potentially exceeding $125 million.
India Performance
In India, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes initially emerged as the most popular film but subsequently settled into the second spot, behind the popular local release Srikanth. Despite this, the sci-fi spectacle has garnered a respectable Rs 16 crores in India and is projected to end its run with a lifetime gross of around Rs 25 crores.
