Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes may not be performing as well as the franchise's other films but we must also consider that the new film from the Planet Of The Apes franchise has released after 7 years and most importantly after the Covid-19 pandemic, which has changed the way films are consumed.

The film has received a mixed word of mouth but the trend suggests a word of mouth inclining more towards the positive side. It is tricky to predict how much the film can gross in its full run but a number of over 400 million dollars is well in contention. 400 million dollars is the magical figure for the movie to be considered a theatrically safe venture, considering its budget is around 160 million dollars. Every penny that the film earns from non-theatrical avenues will act as its profits. Based on the non-theatrical market and based on how big Planet Of The Apes is when it comes to merchandising, a profit in the north of 125 million dollars is all but certain.
