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. The R-rated Sony release earned $11.

There’s good news at the MLK weekend box office for films like Sony’s new buddy comedy “One of Them Days” as well as more milestones for Christmas holdovers “Mufasa” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” but this holiday period is proving to be a weak one for 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.

Mufasa: The Lion King continues to roar at the box office, where it’s in a close race with One of Them Days — the first female-led Black comedy since 2017’s Girls Trip — for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday crown as Wolf Man gets gouged.

SZA and Keke Palmer's 'One of Them Days' is just behind 'Wolf Man' in its box office opening, as the two race for second behind 'Mufasa.'

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.

One of Them Days shocked the box office this weekend as the SZA and Keke Palmer comedy passed Universal’s Wolf Man reboot. The Sony movie opened in second place at $11.6 million at 2,675 North American theaters-with an estimated $14 million more expected through the end of the holiday weekend on Monday.
