Spider-Man-Homecoming-poster-6-large.jpg' alt='Watch Homecoming Online Forbes' title='Watch Homecoming Online Forbes' />Century Foxs War for the Planet of the Apes is coming in around where the industry saw it yesterday with 5. M, the second best for the franchise after its previous chapter Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 7. M and above the first installment Rise of the Planet of the Apes 5. M. The movie in its debut played akin to a non superhero threequel, off 2. Dawn, and is considered OK by industry standards. If theres any kind of sigh here, its just that when studios build movies this big, and War carries a 1. M production cost before P A, the expectation is to swell, and 2. Century Fox pulled out all the stops in promoting this threequel 1. New Yorks Comic Con with a six minute unfinished scene and a teaser trailer. The gorillas horde of cash here will come from overseas, which is where Rise 6. Dawn 7. 0 reaped the most. Heading into the weekend, rival studios had some pretty aggressive estimates out there for War, but Fox never saw the threequel in that upper box office sphere,  especially in this summer marketplace which has been severe for any title thats not part of a superhero franchise.

The problem this season isnt so much that theres been franchise films, rather an overabundance of those further along in their chapters, read Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Transformers 5, Alien 6 or 8 if you count the two Alien vs. Predator spinoffs and that overall effect waters down each films B. O., and the summers ticket sales overall. With sequels nowadays, studios have to justify their reasons even more to ticket buyers as to why its worth going to see and the trick is to turn a sequel inside out, and take its reinvention to the next level, read Spider Man Homecoming. War of the Planet of the Apes sets itself apart from any other franchise film in that its not just another movie for the sake of another movie. Its linear episodic storytelling on a grand scale. It is not just a gratuitous sequel. Critics and audiences are align in sync in their praise of this movie, and this is an incredible start, said 2. Century Fox distribution boss Chris Aronson this morning. Some promising signs for Wars legs is that moviegoers loved it just as much as Dawn and Rise with an A Cinema.

In regards to why War was slower out of the gate, it could be argued the original trailers stalled moviegoers. Did they distinguish War enough from DawnYou could say that War looked quite similar with its doom and gloom and angry monkeys. Director Matt Reeves showed off a trio of clips to the press at a Fox reel day last December and billed the film as an homage to modern westerns and Apocalypse Now. Its debatable whether that cinematic sensibility was sold. While Fox was able to get the critics on board, social media guru Relish Mix felt that the love wasnt translating in the online chatter heading into the weekend with mixed conversation, a socially disengaged cast and a good, but not great 2. M social media universe across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and You. Tube for a sci fifantasy film. The naysayers and dubious moviegoers reflect overtones of franchise fatigue and what makes this one new  There are even bizarre references to racism and comparisons to todays political and social spectrum, points out Relish Mix. The social media monitor further adds, War has a real problem with its cast. There really is no social star, although all credit to Andy Serkis for sharing on his Twitter feed and doing a massive amount of PRinterviews for the campaign. Woody Harrelson, the one name the film boasts, is not activated on his Facebook page. Steve Zahn is not activated. And the rest of the cast that is activated is minuscule 1. M all in.

M range, its fine after all home markets despite its 1. M acquisition at Sundance and estimated 2. M P A spend which Amazon is on the hook for. While some question the profit being made here off Big Sick especially after Lionsgates distribution fee, what needs to be considered is that Amazon Studios financial model is different from other distributors. Getting a movie like this into the 3. M range not only gets Amazon customers to buy things at the end of the day, but also gives them credibility with the indie sector wholl provide them with more titles at the end of the day.
