Lilo & Stitch' tops North America box office again
Film raked in more than six times its budget.

So far, its worldwide take is at a whopping $610 million, Exhibitor Relations said. Maia Kealoha (as Lilo), Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B Vance and Zach Galifianakis star, while Chris Sanders again provides the voice of the chaos-creating blue alien Stitch. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – the latest, and ostensibly last, in the hugely successful Tom Cruise spy thriller series based on a 1960s TV show – took second place with $27.3 million in the United States and Canada. The Paramount film has made another $231 million overseas, which should help offset its massive production budget, reportedly at $400 million. Debuting in a disappointing third place was Sony's Karate Kid: Legends, a sequel featuring Ralph Macchio – – the star of the original 1984 classic – – and action flick icon Jackie Chan, along with Ben Wang in the title role. It made $21 million at the domestic box office and another $26 million overseas. "Legends is trying to invigorate the story with a new Kid – – again – – but business is not strong," said David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. In fourth place was Warner Bros and New Line's horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines, at $10.8 million. And another horror film, Bring Her Back, debuted in fifth place with $7.1 million. "This is a very good opening for an original horror movie that cost only $4.5 million to make," said Gross. Rounding out the top 10 were: Sinners ($5.2 million), Thunderbolts ($4.8 million), Friendship ($2.6 million), The Last Rodeo ($2.1 million) and J-Hope Hope on the Stage – live tour broadcast ($940,000). afp

'Lilo & Stitch' smashes Memorial Day records
Theatres across North America are enjoying an exceptional Memorial Day holiday weekend, with two new much-anticipated blockbusters bringing in an estimated box office totaling well over $250 million, analysts said on Sunday. Disney's family-friendly Lilo & Stitch earned an estimated $183 million, a record for the four-day Memorial Day weekend, according to Variety. The film has already taken in an additional $158 million internationally, industry tracker Exhibitor Relations reported. "This is a sensational opening," placing the film among the top three Disney live-action remakes, said David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. Maia Kealoha (as Lilo), Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B Vance and Zach Galifianakis star, while Chris Sanders again provides the voice of the chaos-creating blue alien Stitch. Paramount's new spy thriller Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning - the latest, and ostensibly last, in the hugely successful Tom Cruise series - opened to an estimated $77 million in ticket sales in the United States and Canada. Gross called that an "excellent" opening, probably the best ever in the series. Ticket sales, however, need to make up for a huge production budget estimated at $400 million. In third, dropping two spots from its opening last weekend, was Warner Bros and New Line's horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines, at $24.5 million. Kaitlyn Santa Juana stars as a young woman who has to deal with the grisly aftereffects of her grandmother having long ago cheated Death. Fourth place went to Disney and Marvel's superhero film Thunderbolts, at $11.6 million. Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan lead a motley bunch of misfits and antiheroes. The film has taken in more than $350 million worldwide. And in fifth was Ryan Coogler's vampire thriller Sinners, raking in $11.2 million. The film has now earned $259 million domestically to become one of the highest-grossing R-rated films ever, according to Variety. afp
