Los Angeles - Brad Pitt has been unable to put the cat out of first place at the weekend box office.
Studio estimates Sunday put Walt Disney's The Lion King reissue at No 1 again with $22.1m. That puts it just ahead of Pitt's baseball drama Moneyball, a Sony Pictures release that opened at No 2 with $20.6m.
Debuting closely behind at No 3 was the Warner family film Dolphin Tale with $20.3m. Dolphin Tale stars Harry Connick Jnr, Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman.
The 3-D reissue of 1994's The Lion King has taken in $61.7m since opening the previous weekend to a much bigger audience than expected. That's on top of nearly $800m worldwide the movie made in its original run and a 2002 re-release.
