Mufasa Tops Weak MLK Weekend Box Office with $15.5M

Disney's 'Mufasa: The Lion King' reclaimed the top spot at the North American box office over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, earning an estimated $15.5 million. Despite this success, the overall box office total for the weekend was notably low, at $96.3 million, marking one of the weakest Martin Luther King weekends in a decade. The film's performance brings its domestic total to over $211 million, recovering from a rocky start. Following 'Mufasa,' Sony's 'One of Them Days' surprised with a $14 million debut, while Blumhouse's 'Wolf Man' underperformed, grossing only $12 million and earning a disappointing C- CinemaScore. 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' and 'Moana 2' rounded out the top five, with 'Moana 2' crossing the $1 billion mark globally. Analysts suggest a promising future for 'One of Them Days' based on positive reviews and audience scores.
