Lilo & Stitch Breaks Memorial Day Box Office Record

Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch remake broke Memorial Day box office records, earning $182.7 million domestically and $361.3 million globally over the weekend, and surpassing $400 million worldwide within its first week. On Memorial Day alone, it took in $37 million, making it the fourth highest-grossing domestic Monday in history. The film outperformed previous holiday weekend leaders like Fast & Furious 6 and Top Gun: Maverick, and eclipsed the entire lifetime gross of the original 2002 animated feature. Notably, 57% of opening weekend viewers were non-family audiences, reflecting strong cross-generational appeal among Gen Z and Millennials. Alongside a strong showing from Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the film contributed to a record-breaking total box office for the holiday weekend. Industry leaders highlighted the success as evidence of the continued cultural and economic relevance of theatrical moviegoing.
