Our weekly guide to what’s happening at the Aotearoa box office – thanks to Numero
The box office results ape onscreen events, with humanity’s closest cousins reining supreme. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes opens in top spot, relegating mere homo sapiens Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt into second place with The Fall Guy. Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black is third, while old-fashioned horny humans abound in fourth-placed tennis pic Challengers.
