'The Lion King' return to the top, seventeen years after the film first arrived.

The 3-D version of the 1994 Disney animated classic claimed the box-office throne with $30.15 million, pushing 'Contagion' to second with $14.5 million.

The Ryan Gosling-action vehicle flick 'Drive', which grabbed strong critical reviews, performed the best among the other new releases with $11.3 million.

Closing out the top 5: 'The Help' in fourth with another $6.5 million to up its cumulative total to $147.4 and 'Straw Dogs' opened in fifth with $5.1 million.

Romantic comedy 'I Don't Know How She Does It', starring Sarah Jessica Parker as a multi-tasking mom juggling her family and career as an executive, opened outside the top five with a worthless $4.4 million to finish in sixth place.
