Originally, we had “Barbenheimer,” now it’s “Mission: Stitchpossible” taking the spotlight. The live-action adaptation of Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” and Paramount’s latest “Mission: Impossible” installment, “The Final Reckoning,” are set to make a big splash at the box office over Memorial Day Weekend.
In the previews, “Lilo & Stitch” brought in a whopping $14.5 million, while “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” took home $8.3 million. Notably, “The Final Reckoning” has set a new record for the franchise with its preview earnings, surpassing the previous best of $7 million earned by “Dead Reckoning” in 2023. Currently, “Lilo & Stitch” holds the title for the year’s most impressive preview haul.
This weekend, Disney’s new live-action remake, produced by Rideback, is projected to dominate the box office with earnings between $150 million and $160 million over the four-day holiday period. The latest installment of Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible” series, which appears to be his last, is anticipated to come in second place with estimates of $75 million to $85 million. With strong holdover performances from Warner Bros.’ films “Final Destination Bloodlines” and “Sinners,” the Memorial Day box office could potentially break records. The current record was set in 2013, when the holiday weekend grossed a massive $306 million, thanks to blockbusters like “Fast & Furious 6”, “The Hangover Part III”, and “Star Trek Into Darkness.” Last year’s Memorial Day box office took a significant hit, with earnings at their lowest in the past 30 years. For instance, “Mad Max: Fury Road” opened at No. 1 with $32 million, while “Garfield” followed closely behind with $31.1 million.
The animated film “Lilo & Stitch” is expected to earn approximately $125 million more at international cinemas, raising its global opening earnings to a staggering $275 million to $285 million. Given that it cost around $200 million to produce and market, this revamped Disney alien tale looks set to rank among the highest-grossing openings for a live-action remake. Previous records have been set by “The Lion King” in 2019 with $191 million and “Beauty and the Beast” in 2017 with an opening of $174 million.
Mission: Impossible – The Last Accounting” boasts an impressive production budget of approximately $400 million, making it one of the costliest films ever produced. This high cost is attributed to filming during a pandemic, two Hollywood strikes, and rising inflation rates. With estimates predicting earnings of around $125 million to $130 million internationally, the worldwide opening could surpass $200 million. However, it must maintain its box office presence and continue astounding audiences with its daring stunts to truly validate its substantial investment.
