With Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes coming out soon, fans of the franchise are curious to know how much money the film will make. Will it be a box office bomb or a success? Here are the projections for the film.
How much money is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes predicted to make?
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is projected to make between $54-61 million in its domestic opening.
Deadline reported these numbers earlier in April after Box Office Pro’s long-range predictions suggested that the movie would open between $40-50 million. So, as we move closer to the film’s release, the estimates could get even higher if the reviews and early reactions to the film are positive.
Overall, these projected opening weekend numbers are in line with the previous trilogy’s openings, which are:
- Rise of the Planet of the Apes – $54.8 million
- Dawn of the Planet of the Apes – $72 million
- War for the Planet of the Apes – $56 million
As for the total domestic overhaul, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is predicted to make between $100-140 million. These numbers will be lower than what the previous three movies made, but they will still be close to War for the Planet of the Apes’s $146 million domestic total. But whether that’s enough to make Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes a success remains to be seen.
Will Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes flop or succeed?
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’s box office estimates suggest a promising run for the film.
It will compete with films like The Fall Guy, IF, The Garfield Movie, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga throughout May. With extensive competition, it could find things tough. But with the above estimates, the movie could still end up being profitable after its global numbers come in.
The following list showcases how the previous trilogy performed extremely well in international markets:
- Rise of the Planet of the Apes – $481 million (worldwide), $176 million (domestic)
- Dawn of the Planet of the Apes – $710 million (worldwide), $208 million (domestic)
- War for the Planet of the Apes – $490 million (worldwide), $146 million (domestic)
The worldwide estimates for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes aren’t in yet. But since the franchise is a proven global brand, the latest outing could end up with great overseas numbers too, turning it into a box office success.
