So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.
You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.
Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.
I haven't read the book, but that makes this even funnier to me. Lol
Will add that to my list.
It's actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.
They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.

A wizard did it.
No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then...I don't know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!

Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.
I've only watched the musical from the Simpsons.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee.

GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
I like how the only thing left of fucking New York City is made of iron and thin sheets of copper.
It could be that they’re not in the former area of NYC, but the statue made its way to where they are. She’s hollow, yeah? Could she float? Could she have been taken back by the French at some point and then sent to some island like Tahiti?
Or is this movie a distant sequel to Ghostbusters 2?
I think you're trying too hard to defend a shitty movie. :)
Nah just having fun. I like the theory down-thread that this is the Las Vegas Statue of Liberty.
Maybe George Lucas can buy the rights to the movie and change the ending to that giant sphere. GOD DAMN U2 ALL TO HELL!
For reasons not directly related to the movie, I just so happen to have this on hand.

No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.

It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.

They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.
