The Disney live-action movie Lilo & Stitch enjoys much love and warmth at the theaters. It is the much-needed hit for Disney after Snow White. The film amassed $300 million-plus already ahead of its third weekend and is expected to inch closer to the $350 million milestone domestically. Keep scrolling for more.
Compared to Snow White, this live-action remake has a lesser budget and earned more returns. The Disney live-action remake was made on a reported budget of $100 million and has raked in over six times more collection in fifteen days. Meanwhile, Snow White failed even to recover its mammoth production cost.
Family movies almost always stay on the winning side, and Lilo & Stitch also wins many hearts in North America. It remained isolated at #1 until the second weekend and is expected to continue the trend this 3rd weekend. The film collected a strong $9.3 million on its 3rd Friday at the box office in North America, declining by 45.7% from last Friday [via Box Office Mojo].
