"Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes", the latest installment in the rebooted "Planet of the Apes" series scored an impressive debut, coming ahead of pre-release tracking. It also helped that competition was basically non-existent over the weekend.
Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
"Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" topped the charts with $56.5 million from 4,075 theaters. Initial projections indicated an opening between $50-55 million. This ranks the new installment on par with the last film in the previous trilogy, "War for the Planet of the Apes", which opened with $56.2 million in 2017.
"Dawn" opened with $72.6 million in 2014, and "Rise" scored a $54.8 million opening weekend in 2011. Overseas it adds another $72.5 million for a worldwide debut of $129 million, the third highest global opening of 2024, behind "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" ($194 million) and "Dune: Part Two" ($182.5 million).
The film received a positive reception from critics (81% on Rotten Tomatoes), but a lukewarm reception from moviegoers ("B" CinemaScore).
"The Fall Guy" took a step back to #2 with $13.7 million, down 50.6% from its lackluster opening weekend. The film has now grossed $49.6 million in North America and $54 million overseas, which brings the worldwide total to $103.7 million.
