The Help and The Rise of the Planet of Apes continued to take over at the box office this weekend, remaining in the top two spots. This was bad news for Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, Conan the Barbarian, Fright Night , and One Day, the four new films released this weekend. Disney's The Help has brought in a surprising $71.3 million in its first 10 days of release, and fell less than 22% from its opening weekend, when it came in at number two. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World took in $12 million, noticeably less than the $33 million-opening brought in by the last Spy Kids.
