LOS ANGELES (AP) ? "Contagion" caught the No. 1 spot at the box office, inhaling $22.4 million in its first weekend.
The Warner Bros. pandemic thriller starring an A-list cast that includes Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow topped reigning box office champion "The Help," which earned $8.9 million in its fifth week, bringing the acclaimed Disney drama's domestic haul to $137.3 million.
