Rise of the Planet of the Apes continued its box-office domination, as it retained the top spot at the box-office.  Critical acclaim propelled The Help to a strong opening, as it made $255 million.  Unfortunately, fellow newcomer 30 Minutes or Less had a disappointing debut, as it collected just $13 million.  Here’s the top 10:

1.  Rise of the Planet of the Apes - The picture has already broken $100 million domestically ($104.9 million). $27.5 million
