"The Help" reigns for third week in a row
Despite the arrival of three new films at the box office this weekend, "The Help" will be in charge again.
The movie about civil rights in 1960s Mississippi has exceeded expectations since debuting just over two weeks ago.
On its first weekend in theaters, "The Help" was runner-up to "Rise of the Planet of the Apes,"but in an unlikely feat moved up to No. 1 in its second weekend of release with $20 million in ticket sales. The adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel is expected to sweep in roughly another $15 million this weekend, bringing the movie's domestic total to just under $100 million.

Meanwhile, an R-rated comedy, a horror movie and an action thriller are likely to sell a modest number of tickets on their opening weekend — between $8 million and $13 million, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys.

Jobs innovated internet, TV too
But Jobs, who announced on Wednesday afternoon that he is stepping down as CEO of Apple, should also get a lot of credit for changing the way we watch TV.
The first thing that usually comes to mind when one thinks of Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs is the iPod, which revolutionized how people listen to music.
Back in 2005, it was Jobs who cut a deal with Walt Disney Co.'s ABC to sell ABC shows on iTunes just one day after the episodes had aired on the network. The deal was considered groundbreaking at the time and caused a lot of concern in the television industry, particularly among ABC affiliates, who sent a letter to the network expressing anger at the agreement and at the fact that ABC had not consulted them on it.
The fear was that if viewers opted to watch shows via iTunes, ratings for the network and its stations would fall and the backbone of the television industry would collapse.
Apple's new offering "is really bad" for affiliates, Forrester Research analyst Josh Bernoff told the Wall Street Journal at the time. "You don't get anything. You just get a smaller audience," he said. (Full disclosure, this reporter co-wrote the Wall Street Journal story on Apple's deal with ABC.)
What Jobs and Disney knew was that new platforms were emerging that would become Just as important as the television In the living room and the networks would only be hurting themselves if they ignored them.
But Jobs' and Disney's deal also was the beginning of the end of appointment television. While the VCR and later the DVR already started to free viewers
from being held hostage to network schedules, iTunes and the platforms that followed took it to the next level.
While it is true that the rise of Apple's various devices and the decline of network television ratings is not a coincidence, those devices also have helped create new revenue streams for Hollywood as well. All the evidence you need is a visit to the gym, where many watch old shows on their iPads while working out on the stairmaster. Studios and networks now have new ways to sell reruns of their shows, especially the cult programs that never developed a big enough audience to make a killing in the traditional rerun market.
Hollywood still hasn't figured out how to offer its content on all these outlets without cannibilizing its own business. Eventually it will, but not without a few other forward thinkers like Jobs.
