The Lion King 3D took the top spot once again, earning $22 million this weekend. It's a pretty good bet that other studios are discussing the possibility of their own 3D re-releases after seeing how well The Lion King has performed. Moneyball had a strong opening, earning $20 million, and is likely to stay around for a while, due to Brad Pitt starring and early Oscar buzz surrounding the film.
Next weekend's openings include Dream House and a limited release of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. Here are the top 10 box office results for this weekend:
1. The Lion King 3D - $22,130,000
2. Moneyball - $20,600,000
3. Dolphin Tale - $20,260,000
4. Abduction - $11,200,000
5. Killer Elite - $9,500,000

7. Drive - $5,771,000
