The latest installment in the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise, 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,' dominated the North American box office over the weekend with an impressive $56.5 million opening. This successful debut provided a much-needed boost to the current uncertain season in theaters.
The film, produced by 20th Century Studios and Disney, is a continuation of the rebooted 'Apes' trilogy from the 2010s. It secured the third-highest opening of the year, following 'Dune: Part Two' and 'Kung Fu Panda 4.'
