'Lilo & Stitch' cruises to No 1 spot on week 3; 'Ballerina' dances to 2nd place and 'Mission: Impossible' lands 3rd
In the box office showdown between a deadly assassin and a chaotic CG alien, "Lilo & Stitch" still had the edge. The Disney juggernaut celebrated a third weekend at the top of the charts, while the John Wick spinoff "Ballerina" did not jete as high as expected.
According to studio estimates Sunday, "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina" earned $25 million from 3,409 theaters in the U.S. and Canada. Several weeks ago it was tracking to open in the $35 to $40 million range, but that was adjusted down several times. Ultimately, it still came in lower than forecasts. The movie, directed by Len Wiseman, makes a sideline character out of Keanu Reeves' John Wick and focuses on Ana de Armas.
It takes place during the events of "John Wick 3."
The box office performance is a bit perplexing result considering that "Ballerina" got good critic reviews and audience exit polls. Conventional wisdom would say that word of mouth might have given it a boost over the weekend. But, recently, opening weekend isn't the end all that it used to be. "Ballerina" could be in the game for the long haul.
"Even though its part of the John Wick franchise, it's playing like a true original.

And that's not a bad thing," said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. "This was not a movie that was ever going to open like a 'Mission: Impossible' or another huge franchise."
The Lionsgate release, a Thunder Road Films and 87Eleven Entertainment production, had a hefty production price tag reported to be in the $90 million range. But much of that cost has already been offset by foreign pre-sales.
Internationally, it earned $26 million from 82 countries, bringing its global opening to $51 million.
As the first spinoff, it's the second lowest opening of the five-film franchise - above only the first film which opened just over $14 million in 2014, which does not account for inflation. The franchise overall has grossed more than $1 billion worldwide.
Dergarabedian added that the R-rated "Ballerina" could also be positioned for a strong second weekend, when it goes up against family-targeted "How to Train Your Dragon."
First place once again went to "Lilo & Stitch," which added another $32.5 million in North America, bringing its domestic total to $335.8 and global tally to $772.6 million. In just 17 days, it's already made more domestically than the live-action "The Little Mermaid" did in its entire run ($298 million).
"Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" slid to third place with $15 million, bringing its worldwide total to $450.4 million.
"Karate Kid: Legends" earned $8.7 million to take fourth place. And "Final Destination: Bloodlines" rounded out the top five with $6.5 million.
The new Wes Anderson movie "The Phoenician Scheme" expanded beyond New York and Los Angeles to 1,678 theaters nationwide. The Focus Features release starring Benicio del Toro made an estimated $6.3 million and landed in sixth place.
The R-rated anime "Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye" also made the top 10 in its first weekend.
The GKIDS release made $3.1 million from 1,080 theaters.
Overall, the box office is up over 26% from this point in 2024.
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," $32.5 million.
2. "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina," $25 million.
3. "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," $15 million.
4. "Karate Kid: Legends," $8.7 million.
5. "Final Destination: Bloodlines," $6.5 million.
6. "The Phoenician Scheme," $6.3 million.
7. "Bring Her Back," $3.5 million.
8. "Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye," $3.1 million.

From Karan Johar's The Traitors to Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Subham: Check these OTT releases on Netflix, JioHotstar, Prime Video
As mid-June rolls in, OTT platforms are loading up their content libraries with an exciting mix of comedy, thrillers, fantasy, and reality TV. Whether you're in the mood for some nostalgic Disney magic, gritty crime drama, or a laugh-out-loud Telugu horror comedy , this week's new releases offer something for every taste. Here's a curated list of the top streaming titles dropping this week—and why they deserve a spot on your watchlist. Padakkalam JioHotstar June 11 Set in a sleepy school where comic books are the currency of cool, Padakkalam follows the lives of four nerdy students who love nothing more than diving into fictional worlds. But when a new professor steps in and strange supernatural events start unfolding, their lives flip in the most unexpected ways. Suraj Venjaramoodu, Sharafudheen, and Sandeep Pradeep headline this comedy with a twist, written and directed by Manu Swaraj. A blend of school drama and mystery, it promises a fun-filled ride. Snow White JioHotstar June 12 Marc Webb brings a modern twist to Disney's classic fairytale in Snow White, a live-action retelling of the 1937 animated masterpiece. This version explores the journey of a young princess who teams up with seven dwarfs and a band of rebels to free her kingdom from the grip of her tyrannical stepmother. With sweeping visuals, reimagined characters, and an empowering narrative, the film aims to capture the essence of the original while offering a new-age fantasy adventure for the whole family. The Traitors Prime Video June 13 Hosted by Bollywood's own master of drama, Karan Johar, The Traitors adds a spicy twist to reality TV. The show gathers 20 contestants who must form alliances, complete intense tasks, and most crucially, watch their backs. Not everyone is playing fair, and betrayal is the name of the game. With Johar's flair for theatrics and unexpected twists at every turn, this high-stakes psychological competition is designed to keep viewers hooked till the final reveal. Rana Naidu Season 2 Netflix June 13 Returning with even more grit and family tension, Rana Naidu is back for a high-octane second season. Based on Ray Donovan, the series stars Rana Daggubati as the powerful fixer whose professional messes are easier to clean up than his personal ones. This season deepens his uneasy alliance with his estranged father, played by Venkatesh Daggubati, as the duo faces off against a dangerous new enemy, portrayed by Arjun Rampal. Expect explosive confrontations and morally grey decisions in this compelling crime drama. Subham JioHotstar June 13 Subham blends supernatural thrills with slice-of-life comedy, offering a story that begins with TV obsession and spirals into the paranormal. When their wives get hooked on a television show, a group of husbands seeks distraction—only to find themselves entangled in bizarre and terrifying events. Backed by Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Tralala Moving Pictures, this Telugu horror-comedy walks the fine line between scary and silly, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments that underscore the absurdity of domestic life gone eerily off-track. Alappuzha Gymkhana SonyLIV June 13 A powerful Malayalam drama that became one of the year's biggest hits, Alappuzha Gymkhana centers on a group of young adults using boxing as a ticket to higher education. Their dream: to enter college through the sports quota. But as they rise through the ranks, the stakes become higher, the competition tougher, and their unity is tested. Filled with punchy storytelling and raw emotion, the film shines a light on youth ambition, grit, and the hurdles faced by sports aspirants in India.

Top new movies to watch this week on popular OTT platforms including The Amateur, Deep Cover, Snow White and more
This week brings a diverse lineup of new films hitting major streaming platforms like Prime Video, Hulu, Disney Plus, HBO Max, and Apple TV Plus. From gritty spy thrillers to psychological dramas and over-the-top comedies, there's something for every kind of viewer. Prime Video leads the charge with Deep Cover, a crime comedy about improv actors posing as gangsters. Meanwhile, The Amateur starring Rami Malek takes a slower, more emotional approach to espionage. Add in Disney's new Snow White remake, a high-rise thriller with Daisy Ridley, and a haunting mother-daughter mystery, and your week's movie watchlist is ready to go. This week's watchlist of movies on Amazon Prime, Disney Plus and Apple TV Clown in a Cornfield (PVOD) Based on the YA horror novel by Adam Cesare, Clown in a Cornfield follows a group of teens terrorized by a murderous clown named Frendo in rural America. While the premise promises campy fun, the final product stumbles with inconsistent tone, weak characters, and awkward humour. Still, slasher fans may enjoy the gory kills and eccentric costume design. If you're in the mood for late-night horror and don't mind some messiness, this might still scratch the itch. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Buy or rent on Amazon from June 10 The Amateur (PVOD) Rami Malek stars in The Amateur, a grounded espionage thriller that veers away from gadget-laden action and toward emotional intensity. After losing someone close, Malek's character of a CIA codebreaker defies agency protocol and dives headfirst into a covert revenge mission. Directed by James Hawes, the film favors quiet tension and inner conflict over car chases and explosions. Also starring Rachel Brosnahan, Jon Bernthal, and Laurence Fishburne, this is a thoughtful, moody watch for fans of serious thrillers. Buy or rent on Amazon from June 10 Snow White (Disney Plus) Rachel Zegler steps into the iconic role of Snow White in this live-action reimagining directed by Marc Webb. The film attempts to modernize the fairy tale with updated themes and original musical elements. While visually striking and featuring a charming lead performance, it falls short of recapturing the classic's timeless charm. Despite mixed reviews, younger audiences and longtime Disney fans may find it a cozy, family-friendly pick. Streams on Disney Plus from June 11 Deep Cover (Prime Video) In Deep Cover, Bryce Dallas Howard plays Kat, an improv teacher who unexpectedly finds herself helping an undercover cop (Sean Bean) infiltrate London's criminal underworld. She recruits two of her eccentric students (Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed) to play fake gangsters, setting off a chain of chaotic and comedic events. This Prime Video original blends crime with quirky humour and theatre antics in a fresh, offbeat format. Streams on Prime Video from June 12 Absolution (Hulu) Liam Neeson stars in this noir-inspired drama as a worn-out mob enforcer grappling with memory loss and seeking reconciliation with his estranged daughter. While Absolution doesn't break new ground, it leans into the kind of gritty, emotionally heavy territory Neeson excels at. Directed by Hans Petter Moland, the film delivers a solid mix of brooding atmosphere and moral reflection. Streams on Hulu from June 13 Cleaner (HBO Max) Cleaner follows Joey (Daisy Ridley), a former soldier turned window cleaner who finds herself dangling outside a skyscraper during an eco-terrorist hostage crisis. Trapped between the attackers and 300 captives inside, Joey must use her military past to try and save lives. While familiar in structure, this action-thriller surprises with tight pacing and strong central performances, making for an unexpectedly satisfying watch. Streams on HBO Max from June 13 Echo Valley (Apple TV Plus) Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney lead this emotional psychological thriller written by Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby. Moore plays Kate, a horse trainer living a quiet life until her daughter Claire (Sweeney) arrives bloodied and shaken. What follows is a slow-burning unraveling of secrets, trauma, and moral ambiguity. With Domhnall Gleeson joining the cast as a mysterious figure from Claire's past, Echo Valley is poised to be a standout for fans of dark, character-driven drama. Streams on Apple TV Plus from June 14
