Blackmagic Fusion, a post-production image compositing software used extensively in the movie industry, uses Lua as one of its embedded scripting languages. Wikipedia uses Lua as its template scripting language. Read the announcement. The widely popular game Angry Birds is mostly written in Lua. See a talk by Jaakko Lisalo at the Game Design Expo 2011.

Volvo cars like the V40 Cross Country embed Lua in their combined instrument panel. Neovim is a popular hyperextensible Vim-based text editor that supports Lua plugins. Wireshark, a popular network protocol analyzer, is scriptable with Lua.
