Monday Movie Roundup...7/14/2014

Hello all!

Looks like yet another remake dominated the weekend...(sigh)...

...to the tune of $73 million in the U.S., plus another $30.4 million everywhere else.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes had a budget of $170 million, and with $103.4 million in the bank so far,

I think it will see profit by this Saturday.

...what..?

...it's not a remake..?

...it's a reboot? Okay. Fine. It's a reboot.

But as tiring as reboots might be,

they tend to make a profit.

I remember the original series and saw the Tim Burton reboot remake, and that's about as much ape as I can take.

But in terms of unadjusted worldwide ticket sales for all Apes movies DotPotA is in third place, waaay ahead of the 1968 original ($32.6 million) and a mere $258.8 million behind second place Burton's 2001 film. First place? Rise of the Planet of the Apes at $481.8 million, which I understand is the predecessor of Dawn.  

In other news...

CA: TWS has officially dropped out of theaters completely. Only what...2 months until it comes out on Blu-ray? 

And don't forget - 

SDCC is next weekend!

I can only guess how many cosplapes there'll be...

Have a good week everybody!
