Fans of the Planet of the Apes franchise will soon be able to watch every film on Hulu. 20th Century Studios confirmed today that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will arrive on the streaming service on August 2nd.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes arrived in theatres on May 10th. The latest film in the Apes franchise is set hundreds of years after the events of 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes and focuses on a world where apes have become the dominant species while humans have become mute and almost caveman-esque. The plot follows a young chimpanzee who may alter the future of apes and humans.
The film was a hit at the box office during its theatrical run and currently sits as the sixth highest-grossing movie of 2024, according to Box Office Mojo. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the first movie in a new planned trilogy of Planet of the Apes films. After this trilogy concludes, there will be more films as the screenwriting duo and writers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the duo had envisioned creating nine movies for this reboot series.
Those who do not subscribe to Hulu for the series will receive an additional incentive to buy the film on home media. Ahead of its release in theaters, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director Wes Ball revealed in an interview with Ape Nation that the home media release would include a "raw" version of the film, allowing viewers to watch the entire movie without the visual effects.
