The Keke Palmer buddy comedy “One of Them Days” opened in first place on the North American box office charts on a particularly slow Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

“One of Them Days” was the No. 1 movie at the North American box office on a slow Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, according to studio estimates compiled by Comscore. The R-rated movie from Sony ( NYSE: SONY) grossed $11.6 million from 2,675 theaters.

Per Deadline, Mufasa: The Lion King is projected to earn $11.5 million through Sunday and $15.5 million through the four-day MLK holiday weekend. If the estimate holds it will boost Mufasa’s running domestic tally to $209.7 million since its Dec. 20, 2024, opening.

Universal's "Wolf Man" howls its way to No. 3, with "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" and "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera" close behind.

Despite a better than expected showing by "One of Them Days" (Sony), with $11.6 million in three days for the $14 million, Issa Rae-produced R-rated comedy, this was a pathetic box office for a weekend ahead of MLK Day.
