WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: SUNDAY Update - Hurricane Irene the big story! THE HELP a low #1 with $14.3mil. COLUMBIANA #2 w/ $10.3mil. DARK #3 w/ $8.6mil.

A hurricane out east played havoc with a good portion of the movie going public making this the lowest 3-day weekend for 2011 according to Deadline Hollywood.
For the second week in a row, THE HELP will top the box office with an estimated $14.3mil over the three-day period bringing its total to a great $96mil.
Out of all the newcomers, COLUMBIANA will take the #2 spot with a so-so $10.3mil after opening Friday with $4mil. Not too bad but I'm sure the lower PG-13 aided in boosting that number.
The new scare film (and remake of the 1970s telefilm) DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK will follow closely with about an $8.6mil weekend. It started off with about $3.5mil and horror films are generally front-loaded so that figure should stand after the weekend.
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is still holding up well. It made $2.5mil Friday and should make $8.6mil for the weekend. It stands at close to $150mil for its North American gross so far.
OUR IDIOT BROTHER opened up to poor reviews and that reflected in the box office stats which show it not opening to much more than $6mil for its opening weekend.
As for second Friday drops SPY KIDS 4 fell 51%, FRIGHT NIGHT was down 70% and poor expensive CONAN fell a disastrous 69%

EARLY WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Saturday - THE HELP #1, APES #2, CONAN, SPY KIDS 4 and FRIGHT NIGHT all disappoint
In one of those box office rarities, last week's #2 film THE HELP will take the top position in its second week according to Deadline Hollywood. Bolstered by strong reviews and great word-of-mouth, THE HELP should hit about $20mil this weekend after grossing $25mil in its first outing.
Still holding strong is the previous two-week champion RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES which should end up with about $17mil or so. Its weekend gross brings its total to $134mil and climbing.

| Stop staring at his moobs. Really. It's just plain creepy. |
CONAN, SPY KIDS 4 and FRIGHT NIGHT all were released in 3D, all started Friday and all are DUDS. SPY KIDS 4 takes third place with an $11.5 mil weekend. CONAN is fourth with a sad $10.5mil three-day gross. FRIGHT NIGHT makes a surprisingly bad $9mil and could actually be beaten by the three-week old THE SMURFS for fifth place once the actual numbers come through Monday.
The other wide opener was ONE DAY which had a slow start at $5mil for its first three days.
Among the holdovers FINAL DESTINATION 5 fell a surprisingly low 45% in its second week and 30 MINUTES OR LESS even less at 41%. Word-of-mouth play a part in this? Maybe.
