Disney’s 3D rerelease of The Lion King over-performed expectations with a strong $30.152M from 2,330 theaters for a per theater average of $12,941. The film easily led the weekend, holding off both newcomers and last week’s number one Contagion which dropped to second place with $14.548M from 3,222 theaters ($44.261M total). Friday: $8.920M Saturday: […] Adding $2.163M on Tuesday, The Help pushed over the $100M domestic mark on its 21st day of release. The Disney-distributed drama, an adapation of the Kathryn Stockett novel, has grossed $100.803M. Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jessica Chastain, Allison Janney and Sissy Spacek star in the Tate Taylor directed/written film.
Update: Updated with final box office data. Rise of the Planet of the Apes held off four new releases to stay atop the box office charts this weekend with a $27.832M 2nd weekend (-49% / $105.208M cume). The Help was really the only strong new release this weekend, taking in $26.045M from 2,534 theaters and pushing its 5-day cume — it opened on Wednesday — to a better than expected $35.918M. ‘Rise of the Apes’ was first Friday-Sunday, with $8.108M on Friday (vs. $7.645M for The Help), +35% on Saturday to $10.928M (vs. +31% / $9.997M for “The Help”) and -20% on Sunday to $8.797M (vs. -16% / $8.403M for “The Help”). Third place went to Final Destination 5 with $18.031M from 3,155 theaters. The 3D release debuted on the lower end of expectations and this actually marks the first time a film in the franchise hasn’t topped its predecessor’s opening weekend. 30 Minutes or Less debuted about where most expected it to with $13.330M from 2,888 theaters in fifth place. The news was much worse for Glee The 3D Movie Concert. After a disappointing sixth place Friday ($2.735M), ‘Glee 3D’ dropped a disastrous 37% on Saturday to $1.716M and another 12% on Sunday to $1.511M for a hugely disappointing 11th place finish of $5.961M. The Smurfs, meanwhile, rounded out the top five in fourth place with $13.733M in its third weekend to push its domestic cume past $100M at $101.779M. Other noteworthy weekend highlights — both domestic and foreign — including for Captain America: The First Avenger, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and Transformers: Dark of the Moon follow after the jump.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is expected to gross between $24-27M for the weekend which would bring its 10-day cume to an estimated $101-104M by Sunday night. Finishing in second place on Friday was the comedy The Help. After opening midweek on Wednesday to a solid $5.540M, The Help added $4.334M on Thursday and grew 76% on Friday to an estimated $7.626M from 2,534 theaters. The Help has grossed an estimated $17.5M through three days of release and should gross somewhere around $22-24M for the 3-day weekend ($32-34M Wed-Sun). The next best-performing new release this weekend was the horror thriller Final Destination 5. The 3D film grossed an estimated $7.34M on Friday and will finish its first weekend in the neighborhood of $18-21M.
Update: The Help pulled in a solid first place $5.540M on Wednesday slightly ahead of ‘Rise of the Apes’ which was second with $4.914M.
