The Lion King 3D

It was a neck-and-neck battle for a while, but in the end, the family-friendly ‘Dolphin Tale’ bested the Brad Pitt sports themed, ‘Moneyball,’ to take the top-earning spot at the box office this weekend.

Seventeen years after its initial box-office run, ‘The Lion King’ is again reigning supreme. The new 3D incarnation of the film, currently in a limited-engagement run, took in another $22 million to land atop the charts for the second weekend in a row. Here at Jack we've also taken a look at the other movies topping the charts this past weekend.

In a limited engagement in 3D, the 1994 Disney classic, ‘The Lion King,’ earned $29 million to take the top spot at the box office this weekend. ‘Contagion,’ last week’s most popular movie, moved to second place, while Ryan Gosling’s ‘Drive’ took third in its debut week. Former box office champ ‘The Help’ came in fourth, and ‘Straw Dogs’ rounded out the top five.

It seems lately that almost every movie is being released with the option of viewing it in 3D.  On that note, the film "The Lion King" is back again!
