Disney's latest live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch is poised for financial success, tracking for a record box office this Memorial Day weekend. Alan Bergman, Disney Entertainment's Co-Chairman, indicates the film’s positive momentum and acknowledges the brand's exploding popularity on Disney+ and in merchandise. The film closely mirrors the original 2002 animated classic, yet leaves avenues open for future explorations of Stitch's saga, hinting that Jumba, the experiment's creator, may introduce more characters in potential sequels, building on Stitch's narrative legacy.
"We've seen the thing explode from a Disney+ and consumer-products perspective. It feels like it's going to work very well, and it's the kind of property that lends itself to more."
Lilo & Stitch follows the basic beats of the original animated film, resisting the urge to end its story with a cliffhanger or an overt sequel tease.
