Nova in War for the Planet of the Apes.
Nearly a decade after one of the greatest sci-fi epics of this century hit theaters, it has found renewed attention from audiences, sparking a sudden global revival. Directed by Matt Reeves, the film is another major large-screen project that he worked on with Andy Serkis, besides The Batman and its sequel.
It is also a threequel in a similarly noteworthy sci-fi franchise that is expected to return once more with a new entry in 2027. A critical and commercial success, War for the Planet of the Apes' popularity has been reignited thanks to streaming, as the sci-fi sequel became a global streaming smash over the past week and continues to dominate. As seen on the HBO Max charts, the action movie was at the top last week, dethroning Jurassic World Rebirth, which had held the spot for weeks. It no longer holds that position but still sits among the top 10, which also includes its prequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, another win for the beloved post-apocalyptic franchise.
