WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King topped the North American box office on a long holiday weekend after ceding the top spot a week earlier, analysts said Sunday. The animated film earned an estimated $15.5 million for the period from Friday to Monday, which is Martin Luther King Jr Day, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations said.

The very well-reviewed buddy comedy stars Palmer and SZA as friends and roommates scrambling to get money for rent before their landlord evicts them.
