Warner Brothers’ feel good drama ‘Dolphin Tale’ moved up to number 1 position on the box-office charts this weekend after taking in a decent 14.2million. After only ten days, the family friendly tale has recovered its $37million budget. Brad Pitt’s baseball movie ‘Moneyball’ came in second place with a $12.5million gross.

Disney’s technologically enhanced ‘The Lion King 3D’ ended its two week reign atop the charts and has added $79.7million in its three weeks of release to the total domestic grosses making the animated film currently the 10^th most successful film in the U.S.

Other new releases that dented the charts include: ‘50/50’, a cancer drama starring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in fourth place. ‘Dream House’ starring newlyweds Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz entered at a disappointing sixth place and the Anna Faris romantic comedy ‘What’s your Number’ finished at number eight.
