Lilo & Stitchhas rocketed past yet another major milestone. The 2025 Disney movie is a live-action remake of their 2002 animated hit of the same name. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, it follows Stitch (Chris Sanders), an alien genetic experiment who escapes capture and crash-lands on Hawai’i, where he bonds with local orphaned girl Lilo (Maia Kealoha). TheLilo & Stitchreleasekicked off by breaking the record for the highest-grossing Memorial Day weekend debut of all time and has since blasted past a number of huge box office milestones.
PerBox Office Mojo,Lilo & Stitchhas now risen to a worldwide box office total of $775.8 million. That comes from the movie’s $339.3 million haul at the domestic box office and an additional $436.5 million from international markets, where it is playing in more than four dozen different territories. This total makes it onlythe third movie to pass the $775 million global milestone in 2025afterA Minecraft Movie($954.1 million) andNe Zha 2($1.899 billion).
What This Means For Lilo & Stitch
Its Success Is Nearly Unmatched
The fact that theLilo & Stitchbox officehas hit this milestone is remarkable because it only recently crossed the $750 million milestone worldwide, as of the end of Sunday. This meansit has taken just three days for it to gross another $25 million, during weekdays in the middle of its third full week in theaters. This shows a solid audience hold during a time when many movies' runs would have already begun to slow down significantly.
It is currently No. 6 [on the the chart of the highest-grossing Disney live-action remakes.]
In addition to widening the gap between itself and the fourth highest-grossing movie of the year (which is nowMission: Impossible - The Final Reckoningwith $451.9 million),thisLilo & Stitchmilestone puts it on a trajectory to eventually gross more than $1 billionand continue climbing up the chart of the highest-grossingDisney live-action remakes. It is currently No. 6, but it seems on track to zoom pastThe Jungle Book($966.5 million),Alice in Wonderland($1.025 billion), andAladdin($1.051 billion) to hit at least No. 3.
Our Take On The Lilo & Stitch Box Office Milestone
It Will Soon Have Major Competition
While the Disney movieseems to be on track to become an even bigger hit than it already is,it will have major competition during its fourth weekendin the form of theupcomingHow to Train Your Dragon, DreamWorks' live-action remake of their 2010 animated movie, which was also co-directed by Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders of the originalLilo & Stitch.Stitchwill almost certainly lose ground to the newer movie, but its nearly unprecedented growth shows that it likely still has enough momentum to continue to climb the charts in spite of that.
