Disney’s family-friendly Lilo & Stitch, a live-action remake of the 2002 animated film, won the North American box office for a second week in a row, taking in another $63 million, industry estimates showed Sunday.
So far, its worldwide take is at a whopping $610 million, Exhibitor Relations said.
Maia Kealoha (as Lilo), Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis star, while Chris Sanders again provides the voice of the chaos-creating blue alien Stitch.
Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning—the latest, and ostensibly last, in the hugely successful Tom Cruise spy thriller series based on a 1960s TV show — took second place with $27.3 million in the United States and Canada.
The Paramount film has made another $231 million overseas, which should help offset its massive production budget, reportedly at $400 million.
Debuting in a disappointing third place was Sony’s Karate Kid: Legends, a sequel featuring Ralph Macchio—the star of the original 1984 classic—and action flick icon Jackie Chan, along with Ben Wang in the title role.
It made $21 million at the domestic box office and another $26 million overseas.
In fourth place was Warner Bros. and New Line’s horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines, at $10.8 million. And another horror film, Bring Her Back, debuted in fifth place with $7.1 million.
Rounding out the top 10 were Sinners with $5.2 million, Thunderbolts with $4.8 million, Friendship with $2.6 million, The Last Rodeo with $2.1 million, and the live tour broadcast J-Hope Hope on the Stage with $940,000. AFP
