Thescreescore – Lilo & Stitch, Disney’s live-action remake, continues its box office blitz. Having already surpassed $800 million globally, the film is now a mere $192.4 million shy of joining the exclusive billion-dollar club. This remarkable performance makes it only the third film of 2025 to breach the $800 million mark, trailing behind A Minecraft Movie and Ne Zha 2. The film’s trajectory suggests a strong possibility of hitting the billion-dollar milestone, potentially making it the first Hollywood film of the year to achieve this feat.
This success story is particularly noteworthy considering the performance of other Disney live-action remakes. Only four of the previous twenty have reached the billion-dollar mark: The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Alice in Wonderland. If Lilo & Stitch achieves this milestone, it will solidify its place among the top 5 highest-grossing Disney live-action remakes, a testament to the enduring appeal of the iconic blue alien, even 23 years after his animated debut.
The film’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. Its impressive $750 million milestone on Sunday quickly escalated to $775 million by Tuesday, indicating a growth rate of approximately $25 million every two days. This rapid ascent is even more remarkable considering the typically lower weekday box office returns.
