'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' comes to digital, but when will the 2024 'Planet of the Apes' movie be streaming? (2024)

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is coming to digital tomorrow, just in time for the height of summer. This franchise sure has come a long way since Charlton Heston screamed “Damn you!” into the void back in 1968.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the fourth movie in the rebooted franchise, though it was billed as a “standalone sequel” to 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes. Set 300 years after the time of Cesar—the leader of the apes in the reboot films—apes now rule the civilized world, while feral humans have retreated to the shadows. You know what that means: Even more apes! Owen Teague starred as the main monkey, while Freya Allan played the main human.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was well-received by critics and made over $390 million at the worldwide box office. But if you missed the film in theaters this spring, now you’ll have a chance to watch the 2024 Planet of the Apes movie online.

Here’s what you should know about how to watchKingdom of the Planet of the Apeonline, and where and when to expect to seeKingdom of the Planet of the Apeon streaming services.

Where to watch Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes online:

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will be released on premium video-on-demand—to buy on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, and more —on Tuesday, July 9, according to a post on X from 20th Century Studios.

The company did not specify the price point for the release, or whether the film would also be available to rent, as well as to buy. But you should expect to pay at least $19.99 to watch the film, as is the new normal of “premium” VOD releases.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will also be released on 4K Ultra HD™ and on Blu-ray™ on August 27.

Where will Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes be streaming?

It’s not clear which streamer the movie will land on. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a 20th Century Fox movie, a production company that has been owned by Disney since 2017. So you may eventually see Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes stream on either Disney+ or on the Disney-owned streamer, Hulu. Right now, all the other Planet of the Apes movies are streaming on Hulu—including a “special look” at the newest film—so you can probably expect to see Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes stream on Hulu.

However, two of the previous Planet of the Apes reboot movies—Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes— are also streaming on Max. Does that mean Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will also come to Max? Probably not. Both of those movies were released before Disney bought 20th Century, and it’s likely that Disney will want to keep a big movie like Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes on one of the Disney-owned streamers. We think it’s likely that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will stream on Hulu eventually.

When will Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes be streaming on Hulu?

The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Hulu streaming release date has not yet been announced, but we can make an educated guess as to when Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will stream on Hulu based on previous releases from 20th Century.

The First Omen, a 20th Century horror movie, was released on Hulu just two days after it was released on digital, and about eight weeks after opening in theaters. But the release pattern has varied:The Boogeymancame to Hulu about four months after opening in theaters, whileA Haunting in Venicebegan streaming on Hulu about six weeks, or 45 days, after opening in theaters. Based on all of this, we can predict that the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will stream on Hulu sometime before October 2024—in other words, sometime between two and four months after the movie opened in theaters.

But this is all speculation. If you want to see those apes ASAP, you can buy the film on digital platforms tomorrow.
