Well Filoni/Favre is bridging the gap between is all 3 trilogies, so they aren't leaning that heavily into PT or OT.

You need to watch again.
Everything they’re doing is Jedi +5 or sooner
Is this just an exercise in contradiction?

Nope, you need to go back and watch yourself.
Mando and Bad Batch both have been going into Project Necromancer which leads directly to Snoke/Palp clones on Exegol in ST. Mando/Grogu movie will likely go further into that.

I hadn’t realized the parallels to fixing Lucasfilm’s Star Wars theatrical output. They haven’t gotten a film to theaters since they announced the pause in 2019. Oof.

‘Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Looks To Evolve Summer With $130M+ Global Opening – Box Office Preview
The first Planet of the Apes movie under the Disney regime after absorbing Fox hits theaters this weekend with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes poised to do $50M+ domestic, and $130M WW.deadline.com
Okay, that's good news! $50+ Million domestically, and $130 Million globally from its debut weekend would set it up well for at least breaking even at the $360 Million mark from the global box office.
Fingers crossed they'll give it the 'ol Charlton Heston try, and I'll have monkeys on my doorstep this Halloween!

The early reception isn't surprising. I've not seen them myself, but the Planet of the Apes reboot series has been this quiet, second-tier success story since Dawn of... : They've never been as talked up or as high-grossing as stuff like the MCU was in its prime, partially because they seem to skew to an older crowd, but they've been consistently well-reviewed.

$22.2M Friday night for Kingdom of Apes. That is almost the entire domestic opening weekend for Fall Guy. So maybe summer 2024 starts a week late this year, lol. Good start, looking to go over $50M now for the domestic weekend.

Nothing of substance really, but we just re-watched Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings and what a fun movie.
This is probably the last Marvel movie I really liked.

They are showing all the old Planet of the Apes movies on TV today - don't remember which station or stations.
They are still fun to watch and I bet this new one is good too

This is encouraging, I had a couple flights last week and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed both Barbi and Migration, it’s been a couple years since Disneys put out anything to write home about and I’d love to see them put out a few great flicks too.
It’s been so long since I lost myself in a movie I’d forgotten how relaxing it was.

Yeah, that's weird to me, too. BoxOfficeMojo keeps it to just a particular re-release:
For the record, that's about $5m better than last year's RotJ 40th anniversary re-release. I guess we can't all have good taste.

…that is a travesty
Jedi has as much to do with the legs of the franchise as any of them
I can even argue more
Imagine if some amusement park operator built a ride like that?
…there’d only be a 6 hour wait for it…
Forever
Hell…there may be one already built that could do something similar with just a new preshow and a film/programming sequence…

There's usually a lot of chatter in this thread after a Disney film opens, but there's a real silence after Apes. Odd.

Disney boards are filled with sycophants…
Does “planet of the apes” trigger the automatic response reflex for them?

I... don't know what any of this means, but to Mr. Gutman's observation, has anyone here actually seen it yet?
I've seen zero of the recent Apes series, so don't personally have any plans for it.
