USA box office on the 2nd weekend of May 2024 is down 8% compared to last year when "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" was the top-grossing movie. "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" was the top-grossing movie this weekend.
And it's down 45% compared to the 2019 peak when "Avengers: Endgame" ruled the weekend box office.

Those ticket sales were a hair above early projections of $50 million to $55 million and were easily enough to tower over the nonexistent competition. “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” opened roughly even with two of the three prior installments in the rebooted franchise, landing behind only 2014’s “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” (a series-best $72 million) and ahead of 2017’s “War for the Planet of the Apes” ($56.2 million) and 2011’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” ($54.8 million).
“The weekend figure is roughly average for the genre, but average here is based on the biggest action films of all time,” says David A. Gross of movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research.
