New Planet Of The Apes Movie’s Release Plan Now Looks Like An Impossible Challenge

Audiences might be looking forward to Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, but a release date shuffle might be unavoidable. The Planet of the Apes movie franchise looked quite dead in the aftermath of Tim Burton’s 2001 remake. Despite the film being a solid financial success, it received roundly poor reviews, to the extent the studio decided against a follow-up. There was little hype for 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes as a result, but the film was a surprise critical and commercial hit that spawned two equally well-received sequels.
