"THE RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES" ON-TOP FOR A SECOND WEEK: "THE HELP" BOWS STRONG


Still from The Help
For the second straight week, The Rise of the Planet of the Apes finds itself on top of the Box Office, taking number one spot with $26.5 million.  In two weeks it has garnered an impressive $104 million for 20th Century Fox.

The Help from Disney/Dreamworks exceeds expectations with $24.8 million in its debut, despite having opened in theatres on Wednesday.  In five days, it has grossed $34.7 million and likely will keep going strong for the next few weeks.

Fans of the Final Destination franchise clearly aren't bored yet, with its fifth installment bringing in $17.5 million in its debut for Warner Bros., landing just ahead of The Smurfs 3-D in fourth spot with $13.7 million in its third week.

30 Minutes or Less starring The Social Network's Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari, debuts in sixth spot for Sony Pictures, with $13 million.  Meanwhile, Glee: The 3-D Concert Movie despite selling out arenas in North America, failed to enthuse Moviegoers earning only $5.5 million from 2,040 theatres for 20th Century Fox.

The well-reviewed Crazy, Stupid, Love. continues to go strong in eighth spot this weekend with $7 million earned, bringing its North American tally to $55.3 million.
