It is a reboot of the Planet of the Apes series that will act as a foundation with an origin story for a new film series. Its premise is similar to the fourth film in the original series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), but it is not a direct remake in that it does not fit into that series' continuity.It was released in the United States, Canada and India on August 5, 2011.

上周上映的新片可以說把今年的暑期檔推向了白熱化的階段。名著改編的《幫助》、恐怖片常青樹《死神來了5》、驚悚喜劇《驚魂半小時》、《歡樂合唱團：演唱會3D電影版》都選擇在本周一股腦地被推出來。雖然上周的影片自成一派，各有特色，但新片數量上的增加和質量上的過于平均也導致總票房分流，以至于沒有一部影片能趕得上大上周的票房冠軍《猿族崛起》，盡管該片本周跌幅近半，但還是再次成為上周的票房冠軍。
