The franchise started with French author Pierre Boulle's 1963 science fiction novel La Planète des singes, translated into English as Planet of the Apes or Monkey Planet. Its 1968 film adaptation, Planet of the Apes, was a critical and commercial hit, initiating a series of sequels, tie-ins, and derivative works. Planet of the Apes is the longest-running American science-fiction film series and has grossed a total of over US$2 billion worldwide, against a combined budget of $567.5 million.
