The fourth installment of the rebooted Planet of the Apes universe once again takes fans into a post-apocalyptic future where humans are no longer the supreme species.
This time, the events take place three hundred years after Caesar’s reign. The story follows a young chimpanzee named Noa and his companion, a girl named Mae. Together, they travel through the ape empire, where humans live in the shadows.
Without a doubt, the best way to immerse yourself in the post-apocalyptic world is to watch Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in the cinema. However, if you’re curious about when the film will be available for home viewing, we’ve got you covered.
How to watch Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes now
The new film from the Planet of the Apes universe is only available in theaters. The film premiered on May 10, 2024.
In the United States, you can book tickets on websites such as AMC and Fandango. In the UK, tickets are available from companies like Cineworld, Odeon and Vue.
Watch the official trailer below:
When could Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes be released on VOD?
The film is distributed by 20th Century Studios, owned by Walt Disney Studios. Usually, it takes around 45 days for a Disney movie to appear on VOD, but the exact date depends on how Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes performs at the box office.
The film has done well so far, earning $127 million in the United States and $172 million internationally. That’s a total gross of over $298 million, making Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes a true success.
This means that the film will probably not be released on VOD in the coming weeks. The highly profitable Avatar: The Way of Water was released digitally three and a half months after the cinematic release. On the other hand, the slightly less profitable film, The First Omen, will be released on VOD after only a month and a half in theaters.
Based on all of this, we estimate that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will debut on VOD around mid-end June 2024.
When could Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes be released on streaming services?
The fourth installment of the Planet of the Apes reboot will likely stream after the VOD release. Disney typically releases movies for streaming about a month after their digital release.
This means that if our predictions above are correct, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes could premiere on Hulu and Disney+ around 8 p.m. mid-July 2024.
When could Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
As of now, Disney has not revealed the release date for physical copies of the film. However, we do know that the DVD will contain a pre-VFX and mo-cap version of the film.
While this is a great bonus, physical copies will appear after the film is released on VOD and streaming. We estimate that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes could be released on DVD and Blu-ray in fall 2024.
