Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes is coming to physical media – including 4K disc – in the UK this September. More details here.
UPDATE: Release date has moved from 9th September to 30th September, and this article has been updated accordingly.
Littered amidst a collection of box office misfires in cinemas this summer, Disney and 20th Century Studios’ continuation of the Planet Of The Apes saga with Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes turned into a tidy success. Reviews were a little mixed for the new film, but in terms of hard cash, it’s grossed nearly $400m worldwide. That’s down on its predecessor, War For The Planet Of The Apes, but in terms of 2024 cinema, it ain’t half bad.
You can listen to the director of the film, Wes Ball, chat to us in an hour-long Film Stories podcast special episode here.
To the matter in hand, though. Disney is – thankfully – supporting Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes with a full physical media release. The film is coming to DVD, Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and also a 4K Steelbook.
The release date for these has been earmarked as 30th September 2024.
You can find the DVD here, the Blu-ray here, the 4K disc here, and the Steelbook here.
There are some limited extra features, although these aren’t on the DVD. Still, on the Blu-ray and 4K versions, you get a making of featurette, as well as some deleted and extended scenes as well.
It’s up for preorder now, and for the minute, we’ll leave you with the synopsis for the film…
Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been redcued to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
