$27.5 Million To Again Thump

Aug. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Meanwhile, "Final Destination 5," the latest 3-D installment in the popular horror franchise, grossed a decent $18.4 million. The dark R-rated comedy "30 Minutes or Less" came in with a so-so $13 million, while "Glee: The 3-D Concert Movie" ended up with a disappointing $5.7 million.

"The Help," about a young white woman who writes a book about the struggles of a group of African American maids, resonated most with older women. The crowd who showed up to the picture was 74% female, and 60% of the audience was older than 35.
A crop of four new diverse films arrived in theaters this weekend, but audiences flocked to "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," which stood strong at the box office yet again.After reigning over the competition last weekend, the prequel to the 1968 movie about simians who overtake the Earth saw its ticket sales drop a moderate 50% to $27.5 million, according to an estimate from distributor 20th Century Fox. That sum raised the picture's domestic tally to $104.9 million after 10 days in theaters.

The movie is already off to a strong start, considering it was financed by Dreamworks SKG and Participant Media for $25 million. The picture, being distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, also seems to be resonating with a diverse audience. The local theater in Jackson, Miss., where the story takes place, sold the second-highest number of tickets to the film of any theater in the country this weekend. The movie also did solid business in Memphis, Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas.Disney is hopeful that the movie might follow in the footsteps of 2009's "The Blind Side," which was also based on a popular book, dealt with race issues and ultimately went on to earn a best picture nomination at the Academy Awards, from www.featherhairextensionsus.com

None of the new films that debuted this weekend saw equally positive results, with the exception of "The Help," an adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel about civil rights in 1960s Mississippi. The movie — which opened midweek to build buzz before the crowded weekend — collected $25.5 million between Friday and Sunday, bringing its overall total to $35.4 million.
