It's still hakuna matata all the way to the top of the box-office for The Lion King 3D this weekend, as Disney's re-issue picked up another estimated $22m for the top spot. Since its all-time US gross now stands at $390m, it's headed for a spot in the all-time top ten and it declined a mere 27% on last week, expect that original two-week release window to be extended a little to allow it to pass the $400m mark.
Just behind Disney's feline furball are the new entries: baseball-stats drama Moneyball, with $20.6m, and amputee animal movie Dolphin's Ta****le, with $20.3m. Other new releases Abduction, the Taylor Lautner starring thriller (so emphasis on the "ab" not the "duction"), and Jason Statham in** Killer Elite**, did less well, with £11.2m and $9.5m respectively.
Rounding out the top ten are Contagion ($8.6m), Drive ($5.8m), The Help ($4.4m), **Straw Dogs **($2.1m) and I Don't Know How She Does It ($2.1m).
