Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Swings to $72 Million at Overseas Box Office, Mighty $129 Million Globally

Disney and 20th Century’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes climbed to $72.5 million at the international box office in its first weekend of release.

The newest film in the long-running Planet of the Apes series also notched No. 1 in North America with $56.5 million, bringing its initial global tally to a promising $129 million. Like its predecessors, the $160 million-budgeted Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is projected to earn the bulk of its revenues at the international box office.

Fellow newcomer, Paramount’s kid-friendly fantasy adventure IF, collected $3.6 million from two overseas markets. It debuted in France with $3.3 million and Belgium with $300,000.

IF, short for Imaginary Friends, lands next weekend in the United States and 56 additional international markets, like the U.K., Australia and Mexico. John Krasinski directed the film, which stars Ryan Reynolds and Cailey Fleming as neighbors with the ability to see other people’s imaginary friends.

Elsewhere, Universal’s The Fall Guy added $9.4 million internationally, bringing its overseas tally to $54 million. So far, the action-comedy has grossed $49.6 million domestically and $103 million worldwide.

However, the film cost $140 million, so it needs long legs to recoup its budget during its theatrical run.

Another holdover title, Sony’s animated The Garfield Movie, brought in $11.8 million from 22 markets and boosted its overseas total to $36 million.

The animated adventure doesn’t open in the U.S. and Canada until Memorial Day weekend on May 24.
