Here's how
Apes 9 looks in comparison to those past three Apes movies, adjusted for inflation.
Apes 9 has the weakest start of all of them.
Interestingly, The Numbers is now noting the production budget for
Apes 9 is $160 Million, whereas a few weeks ago only one source I could find on a fan website pegged it at "around $120 Million", which is how I came up with my $360 Million box office break even point (Production + 50% More for Marketing + 60/40 Box Office Take)
I'll do some Googling to find out if that's the actual production budget the industry sources are using. It would be nice to see Variety or one of the legacy trade papers note that figure of $160 Million. Usually, the Numbers site doesn't put a production budget figure up unless it can really confirm that figure.
