After a slow start to 2025, the Hollywood box office pulled off a “Stitchpossible” comeback buoyed by a huge holiday weekend.

It’s a Memorial Day weekend for the box office record books. Movie theaters across the country were jamming as “Lilo & Stitch” and Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” fueled the largest Memorial Day holiday in history — and established several other benchmarks in the process.

Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” tore into the global box office over Memorial Day weekend with a record- breaking $183 million domestically and $341 million worldwide — powered by a potent combination of nostalgia, family friendly characters and a resurgent theatrical marketplace.
