Disney Moves ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Release Date Up, Secures IMAX Release
Disney is moving up the release date for Kindom of the Planet of the Apes from May 24 to May 10 in order to avoid the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
The earlier release date will allow the new Planet of the Apes film to avoid competition from Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and The Garfield Movie.

In its new release date, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will go head to head with the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black.
