VIDEO : Fans Go Bananas For 'War For The Planet Of The Apes' With $57M Opening

Fox/Chernin Entertainment?s ?War for the Planet of the Apes? will take the top box office spot from Columbia?s ?Spider-Man: Homecoming? this weekend, with the reboot threequel currently pegged by industry estimates for a $57.5 million opening weekend after making $22 million on Friday from 4,022 screens. That opening is right in the middle of both studio and independent pre-weekend projection ranges, which were set at $55-60 million. While that number is higher than the $54.6 million made in 2011 by ?Rise of the Planet of the Apes,? it?s 23 percent down from from the $72 million made in 2014 by the sequel, ?Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.?
