WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Help repeats at the top of the chart with 14.3 million, on a historically slow pre-Labor day weekend slowed further by Hurricane Irene.

Fun Fact: 57 percent of the Columbiana audience was female.  Don't Be Afraid of the Dark debuted in third with a likely disappointing 8.7 million against a 25 million budget.  Rise of the Planet of the Apes dropped 46.3 percent to the fourth slot, but the estimates are so close it may wind up in third; the simians have raked in 148.5 million domestic against a 93 million budget.  Our Idiot Brother rounds out the Top 5 with 6.6 million against a 5 million budget.  55 percent of the audience was female; the chicks must like them some Paul Rudd.
