Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” is riding a box office wave to $610 million in worldwide ticket sales, ranking as the second-biggest Hollywood release of 2025.
With this momentum, “Lilo & Stitch” could eventually surpass “A Minecraft Movie” ($947 million) as the year’s top-earning movie to date. After two weekends on the big screen, the live-action “Lilo” remake has grossed $330.7 million internationally and $280.1 million domestically — that’s including a massive $113.1 million from 51 overseas territories in its sophomore outing. Top markets include Mexico with $45.9 million, the United Kingdom with $34.5 million, France with $23.1 million and Brazil with $21.6 million.
In other box office milestones, Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” and the Warner Bros. R-rated vampire thriller “Sinners” each surpassed the $350 million benchmark.
Over the weekend, “The Final Reckoning” added $76.1 million internationally in its sophomore outing, including a solid $25.2 million debut in China. So far, the eighth installment in Tom Cruise’s long-running action series has earned $231.1 million overseas and $353.8 million worldwide. With a staggering $400 million price tag, however, “The Final Reckoning” needs to keep drawing crowds to turn a theatrical profit.
“Sinners,” directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan, has become a certified smash with $350.1 million globally — of which $83 million is from international markets. “Sinners” is among the top 10 highest-grossing releases through the first six months of the year — and it’s the only one that’s an original story and not based on existing IP.
Elsewhere, Sony’s action sequel “Karate Kid: Legends” collected a tepid $12 million from 43 markets over the weekend, with 40% of its footprint yet to be released. The PG-13 film began its international rollout in May and has since generated $26 million overseas and $47 million worldwide. “Karate Kid: Legends,” which cost $45 million, picks up three years after the conclusion of the TV spinoff “Cobra Kai” and follows a new student (Ben Wang) who becomes the latest protege to Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Mr. Han (Jackie Chan, who joined the series with 2010’s “Karate Kid” reboot).
In terms of new releases, the twisted horror thriller “Bring Her Back” brought back just $1 million while debuting in eight markets. The film, from “Talk to Me” directors Danny and Michael Philippou, started stronger in the U.S. with $7 million. Sony is handing international markets except for China and Japan, while A24 is distributing in North America. The well-received film follows two step siblings who uncover a terrifying ritual at their foster mother’s home.
Elsewhere, Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme” added another $4.1 million from 41 markets, bringing its overseas tally to $6.2 million. The meticulously designed espionage thriller, which launched in the U.S. with $570,000 from just six screens (averaging $95,000 per location), has grossed $6.7 million to date. Plenty of familiar faces from Anderson’s cinematic adventures — including Benicio del Toro, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks and Benedict Cumberbatch, as well as newcomer Mia Threapleton — star in “The Phoenician Scheme,” which centers on the wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda who finds himself in the orbit of scheming tycoons and determined assassins after appointing his only daughter, a nun, as the sole heir to his estate.
