Box Office: 'Lion King' climbs to No. 1 again after 17 years

I did not make it to see the 'Lion King' this weekend. However, I do plan on seeing it next weekend. I can not wait to see all of the characters in 3-D, especially the scene when Simba and his dad, Mufasa are fighting the Hyenas. That is going to be exciting!!!

"The Lion King" reigned supreme at the box office this weekend, nearly two decades after the classic animated movie was first released in theaters.

A 3-D version of the 1994 family film began its limited, two-week engagement this weekend and collected a surprisingly strong $29.3 million domestically, according to an estimate from Walt Disney Pictures.

Also opening this weekend was "Drive," a violent crime drama starring Ryan Gosling, which started off with a decent $11 million in ticket sales. Two other new films, however, flopped. A remake of 1971's "Straw Dogs" brought in only $5 million, while the Sarah Jessica Parker romantic comedy "I Don't Know How She Does It" grossed a weak $4.5 million.
