In spite of a fairly average reception by audiences, Flight Risk is holding on well through the weekend, topping our model’s Friday-morning prediction by about 30% to come in with an opening weekend around $12 million, according to Lionsgate on Sunday morning. Movies targeting a family audience all took a hit compared to their performance over the MLK weekend.

Flight Risk started out with $950,000 in previews on Thursday. That’s a little behind expectations, and weak reviews mean it might not hold on all that well through the weekend. If it stumbles, Mufasa: The Lion King could still step in and grab a win in its eighth weekend in theaters.

Last weekend’s box office race was tight as expected, with just over $1.1 million separating the top film from the third place finisher. Despite two new entries making their chart debuts, Mufasa: The Lion King once again found itself at the top of the heap, biting off over $12 million in its fifth weekend on the big screen and crossing the $200 million mark domestically. The film also passed the $600 million worldwide threshold on Wednesday, currently enjoying $600.99 million in global receipts. As another batch of wide releases make their way into theaters, Mufasa will once again take the crown as the widest release in the land.

Mel Gibson’s action thriller movie, starring Mark Wahlberg, Topher Grace and Michelle Dockery opens in theaters Friday, January 24. Full movie details. A pilot is transporting an Air Marshal accompanying a fugitive to trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.

There’s a three-way pile-up at the top of the box office chart this MLK weekend, and two films look likely to come out as winners. One of Them Days is riding great reviews and word-of-mouth to a very narrow projected Friday-to-Sunday victory, while Mufasa: The Lion King will almost certainly claim the title for the full long weekend. Wolf Man is trailing in third place.
