They are predicting maybe 150 M for Lilo & Stitch this weekend and 85 M for Mission Impossible (domestic gross for both). We will see.

The bigger story is budgets...MI8 is roughly $400M and Lilo & Stitch is $100M

Of course Mission Impossible has a bunch more international potential.

Saw the trailer and it looks fantastic!

I want to see "Superman" in a theater. I haven't seen last year's "MI" yet so I want to see that before this year's. My brother says the Wes Anderson movie looks good. I havent seen all of his but I've liked all the ones I've seen.

From the rest of the list, I'll see the "Mission Impossible" streaming and the Jurassic Park probably not at all, but I'll definitely go to the movies for "Superman", "Fantastic Four", "Thunderbolts", and the new Paul Thomas Anderson and Ari Aster films (and maybe "The Phoenician Scheme" from Wes Anderson).

Now they are saying it might be about 180 M for Lilo and Stitch this 4 day weekend but Mission Impossible only about 77 M.

Lilo & Stitch $341M world wide.....instant hit.

Mission Impossible world wide at $204M...respectable but still a long way to go to recover the massive production budget.

Final Destination Bloodlines is a hit nearly doubling its budget domestically with another $100M international.

Sinners is another hit passing its budget by $160M domestic with another $80M international.

Thunderbolts is roughly $100M short of break even.

Accountant 2 is big Miss.

The Top 5 of 2025 domestically so far:

(1) Minecraft (421 M)
(2) Sinners (259 M)
(3) Captain America (200 M)
(4) Lilo & Stitch (183 M)
(5) Thunderbolts (174 M)

No doubt that Lilo will be # 2 by early June.

Mission Impossible will likely make it to # 6 this coming weekend. Will it break 200 M ?

Lilo & Stitch will hit 200 M domestically by tomorrow.

Mission Impossible only up to 86 M as we speak.

Karate Kid made only 20 M this weekend

Fortunately made on a modest budget of $45M....it did break $47M world wide. It may not earn it's money back in the theater but streaming should give it a boost.

The new Top 5 domestically:

(1) Minecraft (422 M)
(2) Lilo & Stitch (280 M)
(3) Sinners (261 M)
(4) Captain America (200 M)
(5) Thunderbolts (181 M)


Mission Impossible is struggling at 122 M. It might make less than the last one, which grossed 172 M in 2023 and was considered to be a disappointment.

The John Wick spinoff "Ballerina" comes out Friday

Will it be like the Furiosa (the Mad Max spinoff) last summer, which flopped ?
