Families turned out in force for Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” remake, which collected a blockbuster $145.5 million in its opening weekend and an estimated $183 million through Monday. Those ticket sales defied projections and cemented a Memorial Day opening weekend record, overtaking a different Cruise tentpole, 2022’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” with $126 million over the weekend and $160 million through the four days. “Lilo & Stitch” also secured the second-largest start across any four-day holiday weekend, behind only 2018’s “Black Panther,” which amassed $242 million over Presidents’ Day.
“Lilo & Stitch” ranks as one of the top debuts for Disney’s live-action remakes, just behind 2019’s “The Lion King” ($191 million over three days) and 2017’s “Beauty and the Beast” ($174 million over three days). It’s an encouraging reversal for Disney after March’s “Snow White” remake had flatlined with $204 million globally against a $250 million budget. That’s right — “Lilo & Stitch” earned more in four days than “Snow White” did during its entire box office run. It helps that “Lilo & Stitch” was embraced by moviegoers with an “A” grade on CinemaScore exit polls.
I find that he is quite funny, and actually quite nice that he gets to make the role His own, as like my friend pointed out, Certain other characters in the remakes Or perhaps trying too hard to replicate the original such as Daveed Diggs as Sebastian in the little mermaid, even though I personally liked him too. And him being the villain also makes a lot of sense when you consider that he still acts like it and wants to be a villain for most of the franchise, so much so that it literally doesn’t make any sense at all as to how stitch has a glitch and especially the origin of stitch could take place before the TV series when you see his personality and attitude they are compared to the rest of it, which therefore has them both makes sense to actually take place AFTER When you consider his overall character growth and demeanour change compared to the original.
