LOS ANGELES (World News) -- A dolphin has dethroned "The Lion King" at the weekend box office.

The Warner Bros. family film "Dolphin Tale" held up well with $ 14.2 million in its second weekend to take over at No. 1 from "The Lion King," the Disney reissue that had been the top movie the previous two weekends.

Studio estimates Sunday showed "The Lion King" slipping to third-place with $ 11.1 million, just behind Sony's Brad Pitt baseball tale "Moneyball," which was No. 2 in its second weekend with $ 12.5 million.

The three holdover films held off a rush of new wide releases. In a photo finish for the No. 4 spot were Summit Entertainment's cancer comic drama "50/50," starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, with $ 8.85 million and Sony's Christian-themed police drama "Courageous" with $ 8.8 million.
