Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes takes the top spot in this week’s Official Film Chart after clocking up almost 60,000 digital sales.

Set generations after Caesar’s reign in a world where apes are the dominant species, the film takes viewers to a world in which apes are living harmoniously as the dominant species and humans have been reduced 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.

The film’s 4K physical Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD release is currently scheduled for 9th September.
