Rise of the Planet of the Apes won the box office battle over the weekend, while The Change-Up attracted few bodies and The Smurfs extended its lead over Cowboys & Aliens.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes climbed to first place with an estimated $54 million on approximately 5,400 screens at 3,648 locations, which ranked as the fifth highest-grossing August opening ever.
Among comparable movies, the franchise reboot's launch was superior to District 9's $37.4 million and Terminator Salvation's $42.6 million and close to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra's $54.7 million (on the same weekend in 2009). It also made more than I, Robot's $52.2 million opening and wasn't far off from X-Men: First Class's $55.1 million earlier this summer.
