Variety reports that the film marks the second-largest worldwide opening weekend of 2025 so far, just behind A Minecraft Movie. Its debut also makes it the third-best for any of Disney’s live-action adaptation behind The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast .
Lilo & Stitch collected more at the box office on Day 1 in China than Soul, Moana 2, and Mufasa: The Lion King.
Stitch has become an unlikely star among Disney’s characters. The blue alien is so popular that he ranks in the top 10 bestselling Disney franchises, alongside stalwarts such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the princesses, Star Wars and Marvel, the company said.
