Disney's latest outing, Lilo & Stitch, is wreaking havoc at the box office. The live action sci-fi comedy drama is based on 2002 released animated movie of the same name. It is projected to storm over USD 341 million at the worldwide box office over the Memorial Day Weekend of 4 days.
Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the live action movie has raked over USD 145.50 million in its first three days at the US box office, recording the biggest Memorial Day opener. It broke the first 3 days cume of Top Gun Maverick and Pirates Of The Caribbean At World's End. The movie is projected to add around USD 38 million on its first Monday, wrapping the holiday weekend at a record figure of USD 183.50 million in the domestic markets.
The movie recorded the second biggest opener of 2025, remaining only behind A Minecraft Movie which had scored around USD 162.8 million in the US.

For the unversed, Maia Kealoha stars in her feature film debut as Lilo Pelekai, bringing youthful energy to the film. The original animated film's creator, Chris Sanders, returns to voice Stitch, adding a nostalgic element to the flick. The supporting cast includes Sydney Elizabeth Agudong, Hannah Waddingham, Billy Magnussen, Zach Galifianakis, and Courtney B. Vance, alongside returning original cast members Tia Carrere, Amy Hill, and Jason Scott Lee.

"Nightmare": Girl Sings Moana Song On Flight Intercom During Delay, Internet Divided
A video of a young girl singing a Disney song on a flight intercom has gone viral, sparking both smiles and sighs across the internet. The incident took place aboard a Delta Air Lines flight to Orlando, which was delayed for nearly two hours. To pass the time, a child decided to belt out "How Far I'll Go" from Disney's Moana - using the crew's intercom system. Multiple passengers captured the moment on their phones. While some travellers can be seen quietly singing along, others appear visibly uncomfortable or bemused by the impromptu performance. This is actually my worst nightmare — The Notorious J.O.V. (@whotfisjovana) May 28, 2025 One comment on the video on X read, "one of the worst things you can do to a child is raise them to genuinely believe the whole world is begging for their talent." Another comment described the situation as "an actual nightmare." Not everyone was annoyed, though. Some passengers praised the girl's confidence and vocal ability. "I don't see anything wrong with this video. Cool kid showing her singing talent," one person wrote. Another added, "Oh, for crying out loud, they were on the ground for a two-hour delay. This child wanted to do something to cheer people up. It's cute and, more importantly, gave the other passengers a distraction from the boredom of sitting on the tarmac." The reason behind the performance remains unclear, but Delta Airlines acknowledged the moment in a statement to Newsweek: "We appreciate the customer sharing her talents and apologise to our customers for the delay in their travels."

'Lilo & Stitch' passes 'Sinners' to become 2nd highest grossing film of 2025
"Lilo & Stich" and "Mission: Impossible-The Final Reckoning" dominated the box office charts again after fueling a record-breaking Memorial Day weekend. Theaters in the U.S. and Canada had several new films to offer this weekend as well, including Sony's family friendly "Karate Kid: Legends" and the A24 horror movie "Bring Her Back. " According to studio estimates Sunday, it added up to a robust $149 million post-holiday weekend that's up over 120% from the same timeframe last year. Disney's live-action hybrid "Lilo & Stitch" took first place again with $63 million from 4,410 locations in North America. It was enough to pass "Sinners" to become the second-highest grossing movie of the year with $280.1 million in US domestic ticket sales. Globally, its running total is $610.8 million. "Sinners," meanwhile, is still going strong in its seventh weekend with another $5.2 million, bumping it to $267.1 million domestically and $350.1 million globally. The eighth "Mission: Impossible" movie also repeated in second place, with $27.3 million from 3,861 locations. As with "Lilo & Stitch," that's down 57% from its opening. With $122.6 million in domestic tickets sold, it's performing in line with the two previous instalments. But with a reported production budget of $400 million, profitability is a ways off. Internationally, it added $76.1 million (including $25.2 million from China where it just opened), bringing its global total to $353.8 million. Leading the newcomers was Sony's "Karate Kid: Legends," with an estimated $21 million from 3,809 locations. The movie brings Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio together to train a new kid, the kung fu prodigy Li Fong ( Ben Wang ). Chan starred in a 2010 reboot of the 1984 original, while Macchio has found a new generation of fans in the series "Cobra Kai," which just concluded a six-season run. Reviews might have been mixed, but opening weekend audiences gave the PG-13 rated film a strong A- CinemaScore and 4.5 stars on PostTrak. It also only cost a reported $45 million to produce and has several weeks until a new family-friendly film arrives. "Karate Kid: Legends" opened earlier internationally and has a worldwide total of $47 million. Fourth place went "Final Destination: Bloodlines," which earned $10.8 million in its third weekend. The movie is the highest-grossing in the franchise, not accounting for inflation, with $229.3 million globally. The weekend's other big newcomer, "Bring Her Back" rounded out the top five with $7.1 million from 2,449 screens. Starring Sally Hawkins as a foster mother with some disturbing plans, the film is the sophomore feature of twin filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, who made the 2023 horror breakout "Talk to Me." It earned a rare-for-horror B+ CinemaScore and is essentially the only new film in the genre until "28 Years Later" opens on June 20. A new Wes Anderson movie, "The Phoenician Scheme," also debuted in New York and Los Angeles this weekend, where it made $270,000. It expands nationwide next weekend. The summer box office forecast remains promising, though there's a long way to go to get to the $4 billion target (a pre-pandemic norm that only the "Barbenheimer" summer has surpassed). The month of May is expected to close out with $973 million - up 75% from May 2024, according to data from Comscore. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. "Lilo & Stitch," $63 million. 2. "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," $27.3 million. 3. "Karate Kid: Legends," 21 million. 4. "Final Destination: Bloodlines," $10.8 million. 5. "Bring Her Back," $7.1 million. 6. "Sinners," $5.2 million. 7. "Thunderbolts," $4.8 million. 8. "Friendship," $2.6 million. 9. "The Last Rodeo," $2.1 million. 10.

Taylor Swift is sharing her joys with her best friend, Selena Gomez. The duo got together for a cozy dinner while also celebrating Swift acquiring the rights to her six albums back from Big Machine Records. The two were out in New York catching up with each other.
