After three weeks of holding the number one spot at the Domestic Box Office, it seems that The Help has been docked down to the number two spot. Contagion is estimated to bring in 23.1 million in its first run. That isn't too bad considering the fact that its September and there isn't much of a good choice on what to watch, unless you'd fall for Shark Night 3D.
The Help was able to bring in a not so impressive 8.6 million a mediocre drop from last weekend. While reviews have been impressive for Tom Hardy's newest flick, the numbers were not. The Warrior came in third with a mellow 5.6 million. No one really cares about the 4th or 5th so ill skip those and move to the disappointing ones. Rounding out in an amazing 14th place was Bucky Larson: Born to be a star with a disgusting 1.4 million...that's sad. I personally saw the movie and i thought it was somewhat funny...but a let down considering it is a Happy Madison production.
