Weekend Box Office: 'The Help' Takes the Top Spot


It was a box-office bloodbath for Conan the Barbarian and Fright Night among others over the weekend. The Help climbed to the top spot, due to a combination of a strong hold and those weak new releases, while Rise of the Planet of the Apes took second. 

The Help eased 21 percent to an estimated $20.5 million, lifting its total to $71.8 million in 12 days. It marked the first time since early January that a movie has risen to No. 1 after previously debuting lower. The last instance was True Grit, but the more thematically comparable The Blind Side also did it.
