And here's Deadline's writeup for contrast:

Quote

EXCLUSIVE: Sources tell us that 20th Century Studios‘ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is off to a good start with previews around $6.5M. That’s comprised of Thursday night money which began accruing at 3PM and around $1.6M from Wednesday fan shows that began at 7PM.

We’ll know tomorrow AM if it’s the best Thursday night ever for an Apes movie besting 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes which did $5M on its preview night before a $22.1M Friday and $56.2M opening. This Wes Ball directed PG-13 sequel takes place 300 years after the events of Matt Reeves’ War for the Planet of the Apes.

I'm inclined to believe the lower number

[Mojoguy]

$55M OW would be really good and around what the other modern Ape films opened around. Apes is one of the more consistent franchises.

$7 mil would be wild let's go

RT Verified score is nuts.
 

B-/C+ Cinemascore incoming.

B+ is most likely, its core audience is older without add and not posting online

The movie barely has any action so I can't say this is a big surprise.

It's easily one of the more thoughtful blockbusters in years.

Sigh… such a great movie and the reception is that. It is what it is. This movie deserves better than a B+ CS. 

[BadOlCatSylvester]

It seems like this is facing the same issue as the last movie, namely that its methodical, lumbering tone is turning off a lot of people outside of the core demographic. That new trilogy likely isn't happening anymore, but Wes Ball should be able to get his Zelda movie off the ground at least.

82% verified audience score and 79% all audience score is really low starting scores for a PG-13 franchise movie.

We are already cancelling the trilogy this early in its run. I like your style.

The verified streets have spoken.

 

It’s over.

[AniNate]

Well, I guess it's nice that the ticket sale number in itself isn't enough for the forum to doom about for once

This was more engaging than War. Kingdom, and Dawn are the standouts to me.

[thajdikt]

1. Plant of The Apes 1969

2. Kingdom of The Planet of The Apes

3. Dawn of The Planet of The Apes

So, GA hates it and the base loves it...keep that in mind for legs (even for Sat/Sun, although Fri should be baked in where it's gonna be)...although still just 100+ reviews, so that could change...

Hates it? That's really hyperbolic.
