Disney’s live-action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ is a box office success, but online, fans are tearing into the remake for changing the ending—here’s the controversy, explained.

We were hearing buzz that it was a huge box office day yesterday, and indeed it was with Disney‘s Lilo & Stitch collecting $15.2M, which makes it the best Tuesday in May for a PG rated film. The pic’s running total stands at $197.

"Lilo & Stitch" broke box office records on Memorial Day weekend. It's a quick change of fortune for Disney after their last live-action remake "Snow White" flopped.

Lilo & Stitch is hardly the first movie that wasn’t adored by critics to make giant piles of money at the box office. It likely won’t be the last either. You can check out the film and fellow 2025 movie schedule entry Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in theaters now.

In the 2002 movie, Captain Gantu from the United Galactic Federation travels to Earth after Jumba and Pleakley fail to capture Experiment 626 (aka Stitch). In the movie, the alien pair is played by Zach Galifinakis and Billy Magnussen, who take on a human form, but Gantu is left out of the story.

Nostalgia as entertainment is nothing new. But it has not yet been fully exploited for the Zillennial age demographic, now one of the largest age groups in the U.S.

Great news for people who love movie theaters and want them to stick around: cinemas across the country just logged the best Memorial Day weekend box office in history with a massive $322 million across all films,
