Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a 2011 American science fiction film directed by Rupert Wyatt. The film stars James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow and Andy Serkis. 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说把今年的暑期档推向了白热化的阶段。名著改编的《帮助》、恐怖片常青树《死神来了5》、惊悚喜剧《惊魂半小时》、《欢乐合唱团：演唱会3D电影版》都选择在本周一股脑地被推出来。虽然上周的影片自成一派，各有特色，但新片数量上的增加和质量上的过于平均也导致总票房分流，以至于没有一部影片能赶得上大上周的票房冠军《猿族崛起》，尽管该片本周跌幅近半，但还是再次成为上周的票房冠军。
