Market Rebellion\u2019s CEO Marc LoPresti talks about the success of Walt Disney Studios’ “Lilo & Stitch.”<\/p>\n

The Walt Disney Studios<\/a>‘ (TWDS) “Lilo & Stitch” has proven to be a smashing success, bringing in more than $1 billion from the global box office. It is the first Motion Picture Association title of the year to do so.<\/p>\n

The news may come as a surprise to some, after Disney’s “Snow White” became the company’s worst-performing wide-release live-action remake in almost 10 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This represents a return to the sort of good, wholesome movies that you can bring the family to,” Marc LoPresti, CEO and senior market strategist at Market Rebellion, told FOX Business.<\/p>\n

“I think Hollywood has been in a pretty hard state of misdirection, going too far to try to appeal to what they believed was sort of a woke trend, and you saw a lot of films that leaned into that, including, of course, \u2018Snow White,\u2019 just absolutely bombing in the box office,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
