Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Opening: $22,166,611
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - $10,200,000
Embarrassing, Furiosa is opening to numbers similar to Moribus and is left in the dust by Planets of the Apes.

It is doing about the same as Apes now on a daily basis yet Apes released two weeks before it.
Not good for Furiosa.
I saw Kingdom of the Planets of the Apes on the big screen, AND I would gladly see it again! It delivered on what it promised and was the FIRST Planet of the Apes movie since 1970 to have a premise where the Apes actually DO rule the world, and humans are mute, feral animals enslaved by them.
It was quite good.
shareTruth be told, Apes & Furiosa both opened to poor box office.. The only way to save the MAD MAX franchise now is to bring back Mel Gibson for the role
shareKingdom of the Planet of the Apes was a hit, unlike Flopiosa. The numbers don't lie.
Kingdom cost $160 million and grossed $340 million, so it earned back over TWICE its budget.
Flopiosa cost $168 million and grossed $110 million, so that crapfest hasn't even broken even yet at the box office.
It also speaks volumes that Kingdom has been in theaters far longer, but its pulling in the same level of audiences that new kid on the block Flopiosa is getting, in spite of the non-stop propaganda from Flopiosa fans telling everyone how awesome the movie is and how we MUST see it for ourselves on the big screen. People just ain't drinking that kool-aid and would rather see the latest film in the Apes saga. Probably because it is actually about Apes and doesn't give them a 5 second non-speaking background cameo!
