In 2011, "The Lion King" was converted to 3D for a two-week limited theatrical re-issue and subsequent 3D Blu-ray release.
The film opened at the number one spot on Friday, September 16, 2011 with $8.9 million and finished the weekend with $30.2 million, ranking number one at the box office.
This made "The Lion King" the first re-issue release to earn the number-one slot at the American weekend box office since the re-issue of "" in March 1997.
The film also achieved the fourth-highest September opening weekend of all time.

Most box-office observers had expected the film to fall about 50% in its second weekend and were also expecting "Moneyball" to be at first place.
After its initial box-office success, many theaters decided to continue to show the film for more than two weeks, even though its 3D Blu-ray release was scheduled for two-and-a-half weeks after its theatrical release.

The successful 3D re-release of "The Lion King" made Disney and Pixar plan 3D theatrical re-releases of "Beauty and the Beast", "Finding Nemo", "Monsters, Inc.", and "The Little Mermaid" during 2012 and 2013.
However, none of the re-releases of the first three films achieved the enormous success of "The Lion King 3D" and theatrical re-release of the "The Little Mermaid" was ultimately cancelled.
In 2012, Ray Subers of "Box Office Mojo" wrote that the reason why the 3D version of "The Lion King" succeeded was because, "the notion of a 3D re-release was still fresh and exciting, and "The Lion King (3D) "felt timely given the movie's imminent Blu-ray release.
Audiences have been hit with three 3D re-releases in the year since, meaning the novelty value has definitely worn off."
