'Lilo & Stitch' passes 'Sinners' to become 2nd highest grossing film of 2025
" 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.

It has been more than eight years since the release of Dead Men Tell No Tales, the fifth movie in the beloved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has now provided a major update on whether or not fans will get to see Johnny Depp in his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow again. Johnny Depp to return as Jack Sparrow?(X/@PoppedNews) Depp featured as Jack Sparrow for the first time in The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003. This was followed by Dead Man's Chest in 2006, At World's End in 2007, On Stranger Tides in 2011, and Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017. Bruckheimer told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Tuesday that he and Depp have had a conversation about the latter reprising his iconic role in the sixth installment. This comes after the producer said he was eager to rope in the City of Lies star for the film, despite Disney parting ways with him. During his infamous trial with Amber Heard, the actor assumed that Disney might have cut ties with him, especially after the publication of a 2018 op-ed in which his former wife talked about being a victim of domestic abuse. However, the actress did not mention him by name. Johnny Depp returning as Captain Jack Sparrow? Bruckheimer told the outlet that Johnny Depp is open to the possibility of portraying the role of Jack Sparrow again. 'If he likes the way the part's written, I think he would do it... It's all about what's on the page, as we all know,' he said.

Earlier, Bruckheimer stated that the next project in the franchise would be a reboot, besides highlighting that he would still hope to see Captain Jack Sparrow make an appearance in it. During the 2022 defamation trial, Depp mentioned in court that he would not be coming back even if they offered "$300 million and a million alpacas," as quoted by Heard's lawyer. "That is true. There was a deep and distinct sense of feeling betrayed by the people that I've worked hard for," Depp responded. FAQs Is Johnny Depp going back to Jack Sparrow?
