“Dolphin Tale” rose to first place in its second weekend of release, taking in $14.2 million at theaters in the U.S. and Canada for Time Warner Inc. (TWX)’s Warner Bros. studio.
The film unseated the 3-D re-release of “The Lion King,” which ranked No. 1 for the prior two weekends, and edged out four new movies, researcher Hollywood.com Box-Office said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. Walt Disney Co. (DIS)’s “The Lion King” dropped to third with $11.1 million.
“Dolphin Tale,” based on a true story, follows a young boy’s effort to persuade scientists to create a prosthetic for a dolphin whose tail has been amputated. The 3-D movie benefited from positive word-of-mouth after opening in third place last weekend, trailing the Brad Pitt baseball drama “Moneyball.”
