The ohana is only getting bigger. Disney’s Lilo & Stitch live-action remake has officially crossed a major box office milestone, soaring past $850 million in global earnings and it shows no signs of slowing down.
According to Box Office Mojo, the beloved Hawaiian alien tale has brought in a staggering $858,371,809 worldwide, with $366.3 million domestically and $492 million internationally. This powerful performance places the film just behind Warner Bros.’ Minecraft, which currently leads the family-friendly box office pack with $951.5 million globally.
Since its premiere on May 23rd, 2025, Lilo & Stitch has been a consistent top-performer across all metrics. The film debuted in 4,410 theaters, earning a massive $146 million in its opening weekend, and closed out Memorial Day weekend with a four-day total of $182.6 million. Staying dominant for three straight weeks, the movie’s weekday stability and strong international numbers have solidified its global appeal.
This is more than a remake—it’s a reawakening of one of Disney’s most heartfelt and quirky classics. Running at 1 hour and 48 minutes, the PG-rated adaptation brings a fresh cast and a genre-bending blend of comedy, sci-fi, and family drama to the screen. While honoring the emotional core of the 2002 animated original, this new iteration also updates its storytelling for a new generation, emphasizing themes of identity, belonging, and the meaning of chosen family.
Internationally, Lilo & Stitch has raked in over 57% of its total box office haul—proof of Disney’s enduring reach and its ability to translate emotional resonance across cultures. Markets across Europe, Asia, and Latin America have embraced the film with open arms, elevating it into the upper echelon of the studio’s live-action remakes.
Meanwhile, Minecraft—which opened April 4th and has earned $951 million globally—is still holding its crown, but the margin is shrinking. With Lilo & Stitch drawing sustained interest and Minecraft beginning to show the first signs of slowing, the race between these two family blockbusters is tightening.
As summer movie season heats up, Disney’s Lilo & Stitch is proving that the magic of heartfelt storytelling and nostalgia-fueled reimaginings still has a firm grip on global audiences. Whether it can overtake Minecraft at the box office remains to be seen. But one thing’s for certain — this intergalactic friendship is making cinematic history. Stay tuned as this box office battle isn’t over yet!
