Disney’s family-friendly Lilo & Stitch kept up its dominance of the early summer North American box office, winning for a third week in a row with $32.5 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed Sunday.
The live-action remake of a 2002 animated film of the same name has so far raked in $335.8 million in the United States and Canada, and another $436 million abroad, 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.
Debuting in second place at $25 million was Lionsgate’s Ballerina, a John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas as a dancer turned contract killer and co-starring Anjelica Huston. Keanu Reeves makes a brief appearance as the hitman Wick.
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 third place with $15 million
The Paramount film has now grossed more than $449 million worldwide.
In fourth 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 $8.7 million at the domestic box office in its second week in theaters.
And finishing up the top five was Warner Bros. and New Line’s horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines, at $6.5 million. It has grossed $123.6 million so far at the domestic box office.
Rounding out the top 10 were The Phoenician Scheme with $6.25 million, Bring Her Back with $3.5 million, Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye with $3.1 million, Sinners with $2.9 million, and Thunderbolts with $2.5 million. AFP
