In terms of live-action remakes of Disney animated classics it is the sixth biggest earner ahead of <em>Maleficent<\/em> ($241.4M) and behind <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em> ($334.19M), the latter of which it should easily surpass in the next week or two along with <em>Aladdin<\/em> ($355.55M) and <em>The Jungle Book<\/em> ($364M).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Globally, Lilo &amp; Stitch has now shot to $610.8M total, ahead of Disney&#8217;s Tangled ($582.4M) while still behind Ratatouille ($626.5M) and The Incredibles ($631.4M)&#8230; though certainly not for long. The only new market was Hong Kong where it brought in $1.1M to take #1 in the territory. The top 3 international markets are Mexico ($45.9M), the UK ($34.5M), and France ($23.1M).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-nbsp-karate-kid-legends-sony-pictures-new-21m-domestic-weekend-47m-global-total\">3.&nbsp;<em>Karate Kid: Legends<\/em><br>Sony Pictures | NEW<br>$21M Domestic Weekend | $47M Global Total<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sony&#8217;s attempt to revive the dormant cinematic Karate Kid franchise fell short as <em>Karate Kid: Legends<\/em> kicked up an underwhelming $21M debut from 3,809 screens for a $5,513 Per Screen Average. That&#8217;s a dip from our panel&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficepro.com\/weekend-preview-lilo-stitch-pacing-for-another-top-finish\/\">estimated range<\/a> as well as the Jackie Chan-led 2010 remake&#8217;s $55.66M opening. This was part of the problem, since the 2010 <em>Karate Kid<\/em> was Chan&#8217;s last big domestic performer while co-star Ralph Macchio hadn&#8217;t led a major film in over three decades. <span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">Th<\/span>e big streaming numbers for the series&nbsp;Cobra Kai&nbsp;did not translate, as this film represented a mostly different cast and tone, leaning on nostalgia and novelty that were not as appealing to the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the 3-Day looked, including $2.3M in Thursday previews&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Friday &#8211; $7.7M<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturday &#8211; $7.3M<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunday &#8211; $6M<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics showed no mercy at 59% critical on Rotten Tomatoes, though audience response was 90% alongside an &#8220;A-&#8221; CinemaScore and 4\u00bd stars on PostTrak general with a full 5 stars from the kid audience targeted in the title of the film. Competing with a formidable holdover slate didn&#8217;t help matters; this film might have fared better over the doldrums of Q1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overseas this underdog is doing a little better with $26M earned so far internationally on 7,200+ screens in 43 total markets with 40% of territories yet to open including Australia (June 5), Italy (June 5), Spain (Aug 8), France (Aug 13), and Japan (Aug 29). This frame was led by the UK with $3.4M, followed by Germany ($2.2M), and the Middle East ($1.4M). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-notable-performances\">Other Notable Performances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Paramount&#8217;s big summer bet <em>Mission: Impossible &#8211; The Final Reckoning<\/em> held on with a $27.2M sophomore frame to maintain second place with a -57% drop from last week. The domestic tally is now $122.6M, a bit ahead of Dead Reckoning at this point in time ($118.6M) but behind Fallout ($124.8M). Globally, the Tom Cruise stunt spectacular has assembled $353.8M, which puts it in striking distance of toppling <em>Mission: Impossible III<\/em>&#8216;s WW take ($399.3M) within the next few days. This is aided by a terrific #1 showing in China with $25.2M at 11,847 locations, instantly making the Middle Kingdom this entry&#8217;s top foreign market ahead of the UK&#8217;s $22.3M. The global IMAX total now stands at $53.2M<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A24 gave Danny and Michael Philippou\u2019s eerie supernatural horror piece <em>Bring Her Back<\/em> a big launch on 2,449 screens to the tune of $7M for 5th place on the charts under returning horror champ <em>Final Destination: Bloodlines<\/em> at $10.8M and crossing $100M for $111.7M domestic. <em>Sinners<\/em> also did almost as well in its 7th frame with $5.2M, and finally hit over $350M as the industry predicted it would. <em>Bring Her Back<\/em> got 90% critical on RT, while audience rating was 79% and CinemaScore was a &#8220;B+&#8221; for an overall positive audience reaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miniaturist auteur Wes Anderson&#8217;s latest slice of quirk <em>The Phoenician Scheme<\/em> took in $570K on 6 screens in its limited debut for a $95K PSA (beating <em>Friendship<\/em>&#8216;s $74K). This is below the launch of <em>Asteroid City<\/em> in 2023, which took $853,382 for a $142K PSA on the same number of screens during a similar early-summer frame. The Focus Features release received reserved critical praise at 77% on RT, on par with recent efforts <em>Asteroid City<\/em> (76%) and <em>The French Dispatch<\/em> (75%). It launches onto 1500 screens next weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-next-weekend\">Next Weekend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lionsgate is betting that a little Keanu Reeves will go a long way with the spin-off film <em>From the World of John Wick: Ballerina<\/em>, starring Ana de Armas as a new assassin within the same complex Wick world of crime and murder. Meanwhile, Mike Flanagan&#8217;s critically <span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">acclaimed non-horror Stephen King adaptation,&nbsp;<em>The<\/em> <em>Life of Chuck,<\/em>&nbsp;starring Tom Hiddleston, will receive a limited release to build word of mouth before expanding<\/span> nationwide on June 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sunday-studio-estimates-weekend-22-2025-total-3-day-domestic-gross-149-223-971-55-6-vs-2024\">Sunday Studio Estimates | Weekend 22 \u2013 2025<br>Total 3-Day Domestic Gross: $149,223,971 | (+55.6% vs 2024)<\/h2>\n\n\n<table dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-baot=\"1\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"197\" \/>\n<col width=\"126\" \/>\n<col width=\"100\" \/>\n<col width=\"100\" \/>\n<col width=\"120\" \/>\n<col width=\"126\" \/>\n<col width=\"100\" \/>\n<col width=\"100\" \/>\n<col width=\"157\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Weekend Estimate<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>% Change<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Locations<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Location Change<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>PSA<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Domestic Total<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Week<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Distributor<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lilo &amp;
