The Help seemed relatively unfazed by Hurricane Irene over the weekend, while the three new nationwide releases Colombiana, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and Our Idiot Brother were blown away. The drama packed an estimated $14.3 million, down about 28 percent from last weekend, lifting its total to $96.6 million in 19 days.
The weekend as a whole, though, was the second-slowest of the year so far, ahead of only Super Bowl weekend (Feb. 4-6), but business was poised to flounder, hurricane or no. Colombiana was the strongest debut with an estimated $10.3 million on approximately 2,900 screens at 2,614 locations.
