Disney’s New $1 Billion Live-Action Remake Hits Streaming: Here’s What Time You Can Watch It

Just over three months after its theatrical release, Lilo & Sтιтch is finally landing on Disney+. The live-action remake of the 2002 animated Lilo & Sтιтch movie hit theaters on May 23 and instantly became a box office juggernaut. Throughout its theatrical run, the film made $1.03 billion globally.

This impressive box office haul makes it the second highest-grossing movie of the year so far, only behind Ne Zha 2. Lilo & Sтιтch was a much-needed win for Disney, since several of the company’s previous live-action remakes have been both critical and commercial disappointments. Thankfully, reviews for Lilo & Sтιтch were quite good, which ᴀssured people that it was worth watching in theaters.

The success of Lilo & Sтιтch has possibly started a new era for Disney’s live-action remakes. After dominating the summer box office, now is the time for the film to be enjoyed by fans from the comfort of their own homes. It begins streaming on Disney+ tomorrow, September 3.

The Live-Action Lilo & Sтιтch Releases On Disney+ At 3 AM ET

Depending on where you live, Lilo & Sтιтch will start streaming on Disney+ very early in the morning. To figure out when the earliest you can watch the film is, convert 3 AM ET to your specific time zone. For example, Lilo & Sтιтch will start streaming at midnight for those on Pacific Time, while fans from London will have to wait until 8 AM.

Nevertheless, September 3 is a very exciting day for Lilo & Sтιтch fans. After consistently being one of the top movies at the box office throughout the summer, it can now try to break records on Disney+. Without a doubt, Lilo & Sтιтch will be one of the top movies on the streaming service and be a go-to for families as we head into fall and winter.

Even though the live-action Lilo & Sтιтch makes some divisive changes to the animated movie, such as altering Jumba’s character arc, audiences have loved the film, which is evident by its 92% Rotten Tomatoes audience score. If you didn’t get a chance to catch Lilo & Sтιтch in theaters, you should absolutely watch it on Disney+ as soon as possible.

Furthermore, if you watched Lilo & Sтιтch in theaters and were potentially left feeling underwhelmed, its Disney+ release is the perfect opportunity to give it a second chance. This time around, you may find yourself accepting the more controversial changes. At the very least, you will likely catch some hilarious jokes and references that you missed the first time around.

Because of the mᴀssive success of the film, a sequel to Lilo & Sтιтch has also been officially confirmed. A release date has not been announced yet, but progress could move quickly since it is guaranteed to be yet another major box office hit. Before more news about the sequel is announced, be sure to check out Lilo & Sтιтch when it starts streaming on Disney+ tomorrow.
