5 Failed Movies with a NEW Planet of the Apes Twist

ORIGINAL TITLE:  Sucker Punch
NEW APED-TITLE: Sucker Punch...But with Apes This Time!

This female action-fantasy earned $89.8 million Worldwide and cost roughly $82 million to produce.  The film basically broke even, but with an addition of Apes dancing on tables, they would have made way more.

ORIGINAL TITLE: Green Lantern
NEW APED-TITLE: Green Lantern

Costing at least $200 million to produce, this superhero pic will top out at roughly $250 million, making nowhere near as much as anticipated.  This isn’t so much about changing the title, as it is just a better casting choice. Yes, a chimpanzee can out act Ryan Reynolds.

ORIGINAL TITLE: The Beaver
NEW APED-TITLE: Mel Gibson Goes Ape-Shit

Just to prove he's still nuts, Mel Gibson stars in this dramedy with a beaver puppet. This was the biggest flop of the year, costing the studio $20 million to make and grossing less than $1 million. It's not too late for the studio though; they just have to make Mr. Gibson look a little bit more like an Ape than he already does in real life.

And who wouldn’t want to see Braveheart’s William Wallace as a chimp?
