Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes managed to bring in reasonable footfalls on Friday as Rs. 3.25 crores came in. Released with hardly any promotion, the film is basically catering to those loyal fans of Hollywood movies who want to have their weekly quota of such kind of entertainers.
In contrast, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire had managed a much bigger impression with Rs. 12.60 crores on its first day, something that led to the first week collections of over Rs. 50 crores and then a lifetime which is going past the Rs. 100 crores mark even in India. However, since Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes doesn’t really have a franchise value in India, it all boiled down to some sort of numbers at least in India so that it can build on top of it. This is what has happened which has resulted in the biggie being the highest collecting film of the day, though not very far away from Srikanth’s first day numbers of Rs. 2.41 crores.
The film has seen a wide release for itself and since there is no other major big screen affair currently running, it will continue to play on rather uninterruptedly over the next one month. The reports of the film are mixed but as has been seen for many Hollywood films in the past as well, that doesn’t really matter.
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
