Rise of the Planet of the Apes remained at the top of the box office with some strong competition from the debut of The Help.  The apes brought in $27.5 million, just a drop of 49.8% in it’s second week.  The movie has brought in $104.9 million through ten days.  The movie cost $93 million to make, so it’s good to go at this point.

Cowboys & Aliens dropped 51.6% in it’s third week earning $7.6 million.  That put it just ahead of Captain America: The First Avenger which earned an estimated $7.1 million.  Cowboys & Aliens has now earned $81.5 million and the likelihood of it reaching $100 million domestically is slim.  Cap on the other hand is above $150 million and will likely end up around $160 million domestically.
