Box Office: ‘Apes’ and ‘The Help’ Dominate


Twentieth Century Fox’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes stayed at No. 1 in its second weekend with $27.5 million, while DreamWorks and Participant Media’s The Help exceeded predictions in grossing $25.5 million for a second place finish and stellar five-day debut of $35.4 million.

The big casualty of the domestic box office race was Fox’s Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, which came in No. 11 in its debut, grossing just $5.7 million.

Final Destination 5 and Ruben Fleischer’s R-rated action-comedy 30 Minutes or Less opened to ho-hum results.

1. Rise of the Planet of the Apes (3,691 theaters): $27.5 million
