Havoc on the Planet of the Apes

Havoc on the Planet of the Apes is a 2019 American 3D computer-animated science fiction film based on the Planet of the Apes reboot series, produced by 20th Century Fox Animation, Glass Ball Productions and Chernin Entertainment. The first Planet of the Apes film to be entirely animated, the film is directed by Alexander Bates in his directorial debut, from a screenplay by Bates, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, and stars the voices of Patrick Stewart, Scarlett Johansson, Jake Johnson, Alan Tudyk, Catherine Keener, Sam Elliott, Neil Patrick Harris, Dan Fogler, Seth Rogen and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, with Andy Serkis reprising his role as Caesar.

The film was released in the United States on May 17, 2019, by 20th Century Fox. The film received mixed reviews praising the characters, direction, animation, humor, and performances, but criticism was on the confusing plot with some saying the franchise has run its course. However, the film was a huge box office bomb as it grossed only $108 million worldwide against its production budget of $200 million, making it the lowest-grossing installment in the series and for a film by 20th Century Fox Animation.

Development
Glass Ball Productions chairman Clive Nakayashiki expressed surprise that there weren't any previous attempts to animate a Planet of the Apes film. At the 2016 CinemaCon in April, 20th Century Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch and Glass Ball president Athena Christaniakis announced that the animated Planet of the Apes film had a July 12, 2019 release, and would be produced by Glass Ball and Chernin Entertainment, with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver writing a treatment for the film. Murdoch said that it would "co-exist" with the Planet of the Apes reboot films, though Fox soon stated that the film would "exist independently of the projects in the Planet of the Apes reboot universe". In January 2017, Fox moved the film's release date to May 17, 2019.

Box office
Havoc of the Planet of the Apes grossed $52.7 million in North America and $56.1 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $108.8 million. With a production budget of $200 million, the film needed to gross $500 million to break-even. Due to the poor global opening, Deadline Hollywood estimated the film would lose the studio $120–140 million.

In the United States and Canada, Havoc of the Planet of the Apes was released alongside John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, A Dog's Journey and The Sun Is Also a Star, and was initially projected to gross $50–60 million from 4,021 theaters in its opening weekend, with the studio expecting a $45-million debut. However, after making $12.2 million on its first day (including $4 million from Thursday night previews, the lowest Planet of the Apes), projections were lowered to $26 million. It ended up debuting to $24.1 million, finishing fourth. It was the lowest total of the franchise by $30 million and the first time a Planet of the Apes film did not top the box office the week of its release. In its second weekend, the film fell 66.1% to $8.1 million, finishing fifth.
