Box Office: ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Climbs to No. 1 With $56 Million Debut
Primates ruled over the North American box office as "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" collected $55 million in its first weekend of release.
An opening that’s in line with projections is great and all, but Gross says the exhibition industry is still waiting for “something to jolt the market and electrify summer moviegoing.” Right now, the domestic box office is down roughly 22% from 2023 and 42% from 2019. In the coming weeks and months, theater owners are relying on tentpoles like “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Despicable Me 4” and “Inside Out 2” to crush expectations and salvage the summer season. “The Fall Guy” cost a hefty $140 million, so it’s relying on interest at the international box office to stick the landing and redeem its theatrical run.
