'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' dodge four new nationwide releases to remain atop the weekend box office for the second consecutive weekend.
The film, starring James Franco and Freida Pinto, grossed $27.8 million over the course of the weekend for a cumulative total of $105.2 million in its first ten days of theatrical release.
The ladies of 'The Help' made a big impact and exceeded expectation by cleaning up an astonishing $26 million to fully recoup its $25 million budget.
Rounding out the top five were the new 'Final Destination 5' ($18 mill), 'The Smurfs' ($13.7 mill) and new comedy '30 Seconds or Less' ($13.3 million).
Concurrently, 'Glee: The 3D Concert Movie' flopped hard with $5.9 million to embarrassing debut outside the top ten in the eleventh slot. Despite the hit show, only around 500,000 tickets were sold.
