Film News: Box Office News


Last week we saw the battle for the US top spot between Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and The Help, Rise Of Cling on for yet another week. However, this week, The Help toppled the revolutionary film to score a win. The film, which stars Emma Stone (win) reeled in $20 million over the weekend. If you aren't sure what the story is about; The Help centres on a writer who returns home one summer after college. She soon causes outrage by creating a story based around the black woman who serves many of the Southern Families around her. This is a touching comedy drama.


In UK box office news, we last saw Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes kick Harry Potter of the top spot and knock it way down. However, the rise of the unlucky underdog changed all that as The Inbetweeners Movie made box office history securely placing it a number one. The Inbetweener is now the biggest opening for a British comedy and took £13million ($21 million) in its first weekend beating previous record holder Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason.



Impressive for a comedy that only has three series, four misfits but a legion of fans. Full report later.
