Lilo & Sтιтch Box Office Hits A Rare Global Milestone For A Live-Action Disney Remake

Lilo & Sтιтch has hit a major box office milestone during the end of its second week in global theaters. The Disney movie is a live-action remake of their 2002 animated hit of the same name, following a young orphaned Hawaiian girl named Lilo (Maia Kealoha) bonding with an exiled alien genetic experiment that she adopts and names Sтιтch (Chris Sanders). The Lilo & Sтιтch release kicked off with a bang, breaking the record for the biggest Memorial Day weekend debut of all time at the domestic box office.

Per The Numbers, Lilo & Sтιтch has reached a worldwide gross of $626.9 million ahead of its third weekend in theaters, comprising $292.7 million at the domestic box office and $334.2 million from international markets. This makes it just the third movie of 2025 to pᴀss the $625 million milestone worldwide, behind the video game adaptation A Minecraft Movie and the Chinese smash hit Ne Zha 2. It is also only the eighth Disney live-action remake to pᴀss this milestone, surging past 13 other theatrical тιтles including 2023’s The Little Mermaid and 2025’s Snow White.

What This Means For Lilo & Sтιтch

It Could Become One Of Disney’s Biggest Live-Action Remakes

By pᴀssing this milestone so soon into its run in theaters, Lilo & Sтιтch seems well on its way toward becoming one of the highest-grossing Disney live-action remakes of all time. In fact, given its current trajectory, it could potentially break into the Top 5 on the chart by the end of its run. Below, see a breakdown of how the seven movies above it on the chart performed at the domestic box office the day before their third weekends, compared to their overall worldwide gross:

тιтle

Domestic Box Office (Pre-Week 3)

Worldwide Box Office (Overall)

The Lion King (2019)

$392.6 million

$1.657 billion

Beauty and the Beast (2017)

$347.9 million

$1.263 billion

Aladdin (2019)

$207.9 million

$1.051 billion

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

$231.2 million

$1.025 billion

The Jungle Book (2016)

$209.6 million

$966.5 million

Maleficent (2014)

$144.5 million

$758.5 million

Mufasa: The Lion King (2024)

$144.8 million

$722.6 million

While Lilo & Sтιтch is still trailing consistently behind the 2019 smash hit The Lion King (a pH๏τorealistic CG-animated movie that was the highest-grossing animated movie of all time before it was surpᴀssed by Inside Out 2 in 2024 and Ne Zha 2 in 2025) and the 2017 remake Beauty and the Beast, it is tracking much higher than any other Disney live-action remake. This means that it seems almost certain that it will eventually earn $1.1 billion or more in theaters worldwide, making it the third highest-grossing remake on the chart.

Our Take On The Lilo & Sтιтch Milestone

$1 Billion Would Just Be Icing On The Cake

Although it seems on track to be a record-setting success for Disney, the 2025 remake has already more than proven itself after just two weeks in theaters. The reported budget of Lilo & Sтιтch is only $100, which means that its estimated break-even point is most likely somewhere around $250 million. It has already more than doubled that total, so any money it makes from now on is almost certainly pure profit, cementing the movie as a major hit.
