In another surprise victory at the box office, Simba and his friends were able to take down four newcomers this weekend to claim the top spot, THR is reporting. The 3-D re-issue of The Lion King lead the pack with a take of $22 million, bringing its current total to $61 million (and bringing its lifetime gross to a whopping $390 million). It is still unknown if Disney will extrend the film’s run–which is set to end on Friday to make way for movie’s Blu-Ray debut–,but with no new 3-D releases coming up anytime soon to take away its screens, The Lion King 3-D could possibly see a fairly long run if the Mouse House lets it.
