With the east coast on lockdown due to hurricane Irene, <em>The Help<\/em> survived another week at the top spot.  Here are the studio estimates:<\/p>\n<p>1.  The Help ($14.3 million)<\/p>\n<p>2.  Colombiana ($10.3 million)<\/p>\n<p>3.  Don&#8217;t Be Afraid of the Dark ($8.6 million)<\/p>\n<p>4.  Rise of the Planet of the Apes ($8.6 million)<\/p>\n<p>5.  Our Idiot Brother ($6.5 million)<\/p>\n<p>6.  Spy Kids: All The Time in The World ($5.7 million)<\/p>\n<p>7.  The Smurfs ($4.8 million)<\/p>\n<p>8.  Conan the Barbarian ($3.1 million)<\/p>\n<p>9.  Fright Night ($3 million)<\/p>\n<p>10.  Crazy, Stupid Love ($2.9 million)<\/p>\n<p>Analysis<\/p>\n<p>Well the only flick that isn&#8217;t in any financial trouble is <em><strong>Our Idiot Brother<\/strong><\/em>.  The Sundance favorite only rang up a $5 million production budget and the limited marketing costs shouldn&#8217;t hamper this from turning a profit in the upcoming weeks.  However, it will be interesting to see just how much of a draw Paul Rudd is without the Apatow backing.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Colombiana<\/strong><\/em> may be in the worst shape out of all the new guys.  The $40 million critically panned production was already relying heavily on the niche market this action\/spy flick is geared toward.  Although the hurricane had some effect on the opening weekend, this genre usually doesn&#8217;t gross more than $15 million anyways.  So although during the week showings may help out a bit, TriStar Pictures will not have a winner on its hands.<\/p>\n<p>Horror movies rarely perform well in August unless it is an established franchise (Final Destination, Halloween, etc.).  <em><strong>Don&#8217;t Be Afraid of the Dark<\/strong><\/em> only came with a $25 million production budget, yet audiences are not in the mood to seek out this genre just yet.  DVD and On-Demand is the only chance this remake has.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Smurfs<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Crazy, Stupid, Love<\/strong><\/em> currently hold the longest streak in the top ten with 5 weeks apiece.  The latter will need some help from the DVD run while the former is a worldwide success ($337 million off a $125 million P.B.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flop Alert:<\/strong>  <em>Conan the Barbarian<\/em>.  Dropping 69% from its opening and having a $90 million production budget is a deathblow Lionsgate.  International totals will be sparse and don&#8217;t expect the rebooted franchise to do anything in the future unless its direct-to-DVD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sleeper Hit:<\/strong>  <em>Rise of the Planet of the Apes<\/em> is up to $271 million worldwide.  The $93 million production is doing big business for 20th Century Fox.  The strategic move to bump up the release date from November to August clearly paid off.<\/p>\n<p>This Friday &#8211; and Wednesday actually &#8211; brings three new flicks in to close out the summer blockbuster season.  <em>The Debt<\/em> jumps in on Wednesday while <em>Shark Night 3D<\/em> and <em>Apollo 18<\/em> enter in on Friday.  Reviews will be right here my fellow Shockers.<\/p>\n<p>Report by Joe Belcastro<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65286\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65286\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheHelp2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheHelp2.jpg\" alt=\"The Help\" title=\"The Help\" width=\"500\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheHelp2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheHelp2-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65286\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still cleaning up at theatres<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The box office results for the weekend of August 26th &#8211; 28th sees mother nature destroy many new release hopefuls chances at profitability.
