Disney can tout a new record opening for the weekend, as Lilo &amp; Stitch, the live-action remake of the Disney animated film, made $183 million over the four-day weekend. That is the new record, and its take overseas is also great, as it took in $158 million for a running total of $341 million worldwide. With an &#8220;A+&#8221; CinemaScore and three weeks until another family film opens, nothing is stopping the film from raking in the cash.<\/p>\n<p>Lilo &amp; Stitch Takes Out Tom Cruise Again<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In second place was <b>Tom Cruise<\/b> and his latest adventure as Ethan Hunt. The four-day number comes in at $77 million, a record opening for the Mission: Impossible franchise. This, too, has a lot of runway going for it, as it owns the IMAX screens for the next three weeks. Will this <a href=\"https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/movies\/mission-impossible-the-final-reckoning-provides-closure-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">remain the final installment<\/a>? It should, but with these numbers, I doubt it. Last week&#8217;s champ, Final Destination: Bloodlines, fell about what was expected, about -63 percent, but still pulled in $24 million. It will cross the $100 million mark this week. Fourth place goes to Thunderbolts* over Sinners, though they could switch when the actuals come out tomorrow. The Marvel Studios film scored $11.5 million while Sinners added $11 million to its running total.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LNS-FP-0022.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:600\/h:251\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LNS-FP-0022.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2219120\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20600%20251%22%20width%3D%22600%22%20height%3D%22251%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Stitch, a blue alien character from Disney's live-action 'Lilo &amp; Stitch,' is sitting on the ground, wearing orange glasses and playfully sticking out his tongue alongside a child's bare feet.\" width=\"600\" height=\"251\"\/><\/a>Stitch in Disney&#8217;s live-action LILO &amp; STITCH.

This weekend is just the start of what will be a great summer for movie fans around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Memorial Day Weekend box office top five:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">Lilo &amp; Stitch- $183 million<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning $77 million<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Final Destination: Bloodlines- $24 million<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Thunderbolts*- $11.5 million<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Sinners- $11 million<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fandango.com\/movies-coming-soon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Next week<\/a>, two new films enter the fray. One, Karate Kid: Legends should make some noise, finish in the top three, and have an outside shot at taking the second spot from Mission: Impossible. The latest A24 horror film, Bring Her Back, is the other big opening. Early buzz is that it is well-made but quite depressing. That one has a chance to crack the top five. None will beat Lilo &amp; Stitch, which will remain in the top spot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoyed this?
