Several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, apes are now the dominant species and live harmoniously while 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.

Because the whole series is “something of the planet of the apes”.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
War of the Planet of the Apes
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
How is that not obvious?
Also the original movie group had the same naming scheme: Beneath the planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, etc.
So I’m questioning the whole naming method then. After the original ‘Planet of the Apes’ they could’ve gone with ‘X of the Apes’ without losing brand recognition and not making names that bloated.
But then people search for “planet of the apes” and might miss your latest offshoot.
That naming convention became a thing long before the internet I believe.
A relatively worse way is ‘Planet of the Apes: X’, if you conscerned with that, yet I doubt it would be a problem.
I feel it would have benefited from the use of a colon instead.
“Planet of the Apes: Rise” or “Planet of the Apes: Kingdom”, but maybe they were worried about conflicting with the original films. They had already backed themselves into a corner by naming the first two in the remakes.
