Friday's Box Office

For Friday August 26:

1. The Help - $4.4 million ($86.7) - 17 days
2. Colombiana - $3.75 - 1 day
3. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark - $3.63 - 1 day
4. Rise of the Planet of the Apes - $2.59 ($142.39) - 22 days
5. Our Idiot Brother - $2.37 - 1 day
6. Spy Kids 4 - $1.59 ($17.57) - 8 days
7. The Smurfs - 41.25 ($122.44) - 29 days
8. Crazy Stupid Love - $1 ($67.62) - 29 days
9. Fright Night - $.97 ($12.15) - 8 days
10. Conan the Barbarian - $.93 ($14.41) - 8 days

Weak competition is going to allow The Help to be #1 for the second week in a row, in its third week of release. The end of August/beginning of September is usually a dumping ground for studios, so it wouldn't surprise me if The Help is still in the top three next week.

Opening next week: Apollo 18, Shark Night, and The Debt.
