An ill-judged blockbuster bust that accidentally left behind a legacy finds shaky streaming ground

Whenever filmmakers find themselves reticent to use the 100 percent accurate term “remake,” it often gets substituted for “reimagining” instead. While it’s become part of common parlance in the age of dusting off any worthwhile property, it first gained widespread popularity – and a hint of notoriety – when Tim Burton was breathing new life into Planet of the Apes.

Although the 2001 blockbuster has since become a pariah of sorts when it comes to naming the most needless and misguided reboots of the modern era, it’s worth noting that a $366 million haul at the box office ensured it was far from a flop. Nonetheless, planned sequels on the back of the rug-pulling final twist fell by the wayside, ultimately paving the way for bigger and better things.
