Top 10 Movies at the Weekend Box Office 25SEP2011, The Lion King (in 3D)
Four newcomers weren’t quite strong enough to unseat The Lion King (in 3D), which held the top spot for the second weekend in a row.
The Lion King in 3D achieved $21.9 million this weekend, bringing the re-release’s 10-day total to $61.5 million. When added to previous Lion King grosses, the movie has now made $390 million, which is good for 12th place on the all-time domestic chart. Many theaters are opting to continue to play the movie past the initial two-week engagement, and therefore it’s now guaranteed to top $400 million and enter the all-time Top 10.
