Disney's 'Planet of the Apes' Reboot Opens to $58.5 Million.

Disney's 'Planet of the Apes' reboot exceeded industry projections by earning $58.5 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend. This film is Disney's first theatrical release of the year and is expected to help revitalize the studio after a series of unsuccessful movies. CEO Bob Iger has prioritized rebuilding the film group, delaying some projects to improve quality and reduce expenses. The success of this film could lead to further opportunities for the franchise, which Disney acquired as part of its purchase of 21st Century Fox's entertainment assets in 2019.
