Matt Reeves' trilogy-capping finale to the Apes reboot franchise is arguably the summer's best blockbuster, a dizzyingly bleak and beautiful spectacle driven by another fantastic performance from Andy Serkis, and a fantastic contribution by effects wizards Weta Digital.

Though it's closing in on the $500 million mark, the film has nevertheless been considered a box office disappointment, opening below expectations and set to fall far short of the previous film's $710.6 million final total.

Pennywise defeating Caesar at the box office is the most unlikely of outcomes, and the fact that he's getting close to topping even the previous movie is nothing short of ludicrous.
