Guess Who Swept Its Way To #1 At The Box Office...

YBF actresses Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer were champions at the box office once again as their movie The Help moved into the #1 slot with $20.5 million in sales. Get the deets inside.....

The Disney produced film The Help continues to show signs of staying power at the box office as it rose to the #1 spot recently, taking in $20.5 million in sales.

Industry vets say the film's good "buzz" is what accounts for the move and now The Help has racked up $71.3 million in its first 10 days of release.

David Holis, Disney's executive vice president of distribution, said 

"We hoped that The Help would be a breath of fresh air at the end of a busy summer, and that has turned out to be the case."

Unfortunately, Lisa Bonet's baby daddy Jason Momoa's Conan The Barbarian didn't go as well.  The film had a budget of $70 million but only took in $10 million last week.

Here's how the top 5 performed:

1. The Help: $20.5 million

2. Rise of the Planet of the Apes: $16.3 million

3. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D: $12 million

4. Conan the Barbarian: $10 million

5. Fright Night: $8.3 million
