Lilo & Stitch Cruises Ahead of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
Briefly

The live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch significantly outperforms Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning at the box office, with projections of nearly $180 million for the holiday weekend. Released on May 23 in 4,410 theaters, Lilo & Stitch's initial earnings far exceed those of Tom Cruise's film, which is set to break records for the Mission: Impossible franchise. This marked a notable comeback in their box office rivalry dating back over 20 years, as Cruise had previously edged out the original animated Lilo & Stitch.
"Lilo & Stitch is reportedly on track to make between $170 million and $180 million for its four-day opening this Memorial Day weekend, surpassing Cruise's holiday record."
"Mission: Impossible 8 is still going to be setting some franchise records at the box office this weekend, projected to reach $64 million after three days."
