11 | Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes | 944,098 | War for the Planet of the Apes closed an inspired trilogy 7 years ago, but there are clearly more stories to be told in a world of talking apes (#21). Wes Ball directs a movie set generations after Caesar, where an ambitious bonobo is trying to forcibly unite many ape clans, being opposed by a young member of a tribe of falconer chimpanzees and a woman who is a reminder of when humans were the dominant species. Continuing the franchise's good streak, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes earned positive reviews and is expected to have a big opening weekend. | ||

19 | UEFA Champions League | 589,844 | Following the semifinals, the 2024 UEFA Champions League final is set, with Borussia Dortmund (seeking its second title) and Real Madrid (who've won 14 already) set to hit Wembley Stadium on June 1st. | ||

21 | Planet of the Apes | 570,492 | Pierre Boulle wrote a sci-fi book in 1963 regarding a planet of intelligent great apes and didn't think it was good adaptation material. Yet the 1968 film became a seminal work, leading to many follow-ups (#11 is the tenth movie in the franchise!), TV series, comics, merchandise, etc. (and in my country, this catchy song) | ||
