Great news for people who love movie theaters and want them to stick around: cinemas across the country just logged the best Memorial Day weekend box office in history with a massive $322 million across all films,

The two films delivered the biggest Memorial Day picnic in history at the box office, while 'Lilo' supplanted Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' as the holiday's top opener of all time, among numerous other feats.

It has been more than 10 years since movie theaters have seen a Memorial Day weekend this huge for the box office, but thanks to the combined efforts of Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch,” Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” and multiple holdovers and specialty titles, 2025 has set a new record for the holiday.

Lilo & Stitch’s first weekend has already broken a number of incredible records, setting an incredible pace for 2025’s latest Disney remake.

Disney’s 'Lilo & Stitch' topped the U.K. and Ireland box office in its opening weekend, debuting with a strong $12.9 million.

Americans are spending their Memorial Day weekends at the movies, as box office data suggests this weekend is on track to be the highest-grossing Memorial Day weekend ever at the box office, with Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” remake taking in $183 million and beating out “Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

Disney has fully committed to remaking its animated classics as live-action films, even though they're almost always mediocre.
