None of this week’s new offerings were able to seize the top box office slots from a pair of overperforming holdovers on Friday. The Help came in on top with $5.8 million, a mere 24% decline from last Friday. The impressive hold bumped Rise of the Apes, champion of the last two Fridays, down to second with $4.7 million. We finally get to the new movies in third place: Spy Kids: All the Time in the World opened to just $4.0 million from 3,295 locations; Conan the Barbarian dipped under the $4 million threshold for $3.7 million from 3,015 locations. Fright Night rounds out the top five, earning $3.1 million from 3,114 locations. Check back tomorrow for the weekend totals.
