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

According to studio estimates on Sunday, the R-rated movie earned $11.6 million through Sunday, beating Disney's "Mufasa: The Lion King" by a hair.

By the end of Monday's holiday, however, "Mufasa" will have the edge. 

Universal and Blumhouse's R-rated horror "Wolf Man" opened in third place with $10.6 million. 

It was overall one of the slowest MLK holiday weekends since 1997.
