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.

Not only did Katy Perry tie Michael Jackson's No. 1's record with her Teenage Dream album -- she also made almost $50 million in the last year with it!

The album has sold 1.7 million copies in the U.S. and about 20 million singles tracks, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That means it brought in $48 million from album sales alone!

Perry is estimated to take home 15 to 20 percent of the album/singles sales. She is also making cash from touring (she's currently on tour for the album.)

The singer, 26, topped U.S. charts with "Last Friday Night," her fifth No. 1 record off the album -- tying MJ's record for Bad. She's the only other artist ever to complete the feat.

Kim Kardashian's WEDDING DETAILS

CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

As you may already know, Kim Kardashian is a MARRIED woman now.

Here is a rundown of who showed up and what went down at the wedding in Montecito, CA.

Among the 440 guests: Kim's reality show executive producer Ryan Seacrest and his girlfriend Julianne Hough, her "Dancing With the Stars" partner Mark Ballas and his date Cheryl Burke, her stepbrother Brody Jenner and his girlfriend Avril Lavigne, dress designer Vera Wang, pop stars Demi Lovato and Ciara, NBA couples Carmelo Anthony and La La Vasquez and Scottie and Larsa Pippen and Dina, Ali and Lindsay Lohan.

Some of the more unexpected names included Greta von Sustren, Alan Thicke, and Kathy Lee Gifford.

As reported, the bride wore a Vera Wang wedding gown. People described the dress as having "full tulle skirt, basque waist and hand-pieced Chantilly lace appliqué on the bodice and train." Despite being her second wedding, Kim stuck to traditional ivory. Guiseppe Zanotti shoes completed her look. The groom wore a Ermenegildo Zegna tux with a white tuxedo jacket and black tuxedo pants. His bow tie was white.

Kim's sisters Kourtney and Khloe served as maids of honor, while sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner were bridesmaids. Their dresses were reportedly green. The ring bearer was Kim's nephew Mason Disick, Kourtney and Scott Discik's son.

The couple sealed their vows with Lorraine Schwartz rings (Schwartz also designed Kim's $2 million engagement ring) and of course, a dazzling kiss. (As E! Entertainment rolled the cameras for the TV show).

The groom later changed into a traditional black tuxedo for the reception. The bride had two more dress changes, both Vera Wang gowns. Unfortunately, no photos were made public -- People bought the exclusive rights for a reported $1.5 million. The wedding issue is expected to hit newsstands Friday.

E! will show footage from the wedding Sunday night, and Beverly News will have all the pictures and videos as well.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!
