Disney has confirmed that they will be extending the previously announced 2-week limited 3D rerelease of The Lion King.
The news is entirely expected given the film has done incredibly well at the box office, placing first for two weekends straight and totalling more than $60M through 10 days domestically (and about $16M foreign) for more than $75M worldwide.

Disney says the film will stay in theaters for at least one more week. The Blu-ray 3D is scheduled to hit theaters next Tuesday (October 4).
