Monkey Movie Screenings

The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Movie Had Two Chimps Attend Its Opening

— July 17, 2014 — Pop Culture
A special screening of the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes movie drew plenty of humans and a few chimps too—Vali and Sugriva are both two-year-old chimpanzees from the Myrtle Beach Safari that attended the movie screening at its opening night in Florida.

Alike the thousand other moviegoers at the film opening, the chimps got the full experience—they bought their own tickets, got snacks and sat in the audience for the duration of the film. The two young chimps were probably better behaved than some people who go to the movies, making this a clever stunt to show just how alike humans and primates are. Considering the tone of the movie, there were some concerns that the smart chimps might pick up some ideas about world domination.
Trend Themes
1. Chimp-inclusive Entertainment - Offering special screenings of movies specifically designed for chimpanzees and other primates to attend, providing an immersive experience for both humans and animals.
2. Animal-friendly Events - Creating events and experiences that cater to the interests and behaviors of animals, promoting animal welfare and conservation.
3. Cross-species Bonding - Exploring opportunities for humans and primates to interact and bond, showcasing the similarities and connections between the two species.
Industry Implications
1. Film and Entertainment - Incorporating animal-friendly screenings as a new form of entertainment, attracting a wider audience and creating unique experiences.
2. Zoos and Wildlife Parks - Organizing special events and programs that promote animal welfare and educate the public on the importance of conservation.
3. Animal Training and Enrichment - Developing innovative methods and technologies to facilitate cross-species interactions and enhance the well-being of animals in captivity.
