According to his report, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has received impressive reactions and a pick-up in pre-sales; hence, the industry is looking forward to its opening weekend collections. The trade analyst predicts it will earn an estimated $50 million-$55 million over a 3-day weekend in the United States and a $80 million-$90 million opening overseas. This will take the global opening to $130 million-$145 million, potentially resulting in the biggest global opening for the franchise.

It is also the highest-grossing film in the franchise globally, with its $710.6 million collections worldwide. But things might change soon, and now all eyes are on this upcoming installment.
