Disney’s Lilo & Stitch continues to ride high, claiming the top box office spot for the third straight weekend with $32.5 million. That puts its domestic total at $335.8 million and global haul at $772.6 million—making it the second highest-grossing film of the year, behind Minecraft. The live-action remake is proving to have serious legs, despite a 47% dip from last weekend.
The overall box office hit $113.4 million, up from $104.2 million this time last year. Still, the industry’s holding its breath for next weekend, when Universal’s How to Train Your Dragon remake opens against comparisons to Inside Out 2, which earned a monster $154.2 million in its opening frame last year and went on to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Meanwhile, Lionsgate’s Ballerina—a spinoff from the John Wick franchise—debuted in second with $25 million. Starring Ana de Armas and directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina expands the Wick-verse with stylish violence and slick choreography, but critics are mixed.
Reviews praise the inventive action, but some note a sluggish first act and uneven tone. De Armas’ performance draws admiration for its physicality, though lacks some of the gravitas Keanu Reeves brought to Wick. Still, audiences seem pleased, giving it a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ballerina comes with a hefty $90 million price tag—second only to John Wick: Chapter 4 in franchise cost—and will need a strong international run to recoup its budget. Despite the star power and franchise name, its opening trails Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, which could be cause for concern.
Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning landed in third with $15 million, bringing its 17-day domestic total to $149.2 million. With a jaw-dropping $400 million budget, the Tom Cruise vehicle has a steep hill to climb to profitability. It’s underperforming compared to Fallout, and even with access to the Chinese market, it may struggle to hit the $1 billion threshold needed to break even.
In fourth, Karate Kid: Legends pulled in $8.7 million in its sophomore frame, bringing its 10-day domestic total to $35.4 million. Though fans are responding positively (91% RT audience score), lukewarm reviews from critics (57%) could slow momentum. The film needs to cross $115 million globally to be considered profitable.
Finally, Warner Bros.’ horror sequel Final Destination: Bloodlines continues to impress in fifth with $6.5 million in its fourth weekend. Its domestic total now stands at $123.6 million, and worldwide, it has crossed $257 million—enough to make it the eighth-highest-grossing film of the year so far. With a budget of $50 million, it’s a solid win for WB, continuing the franchise’s legacy of turning modest budgets into big returns.
As of June 5, the 2025 box office is pacing 27% ahead of 2024 and at 72% of the pre-pandemic benchmark set in 2019—a sign that while we’re not completely back, we’re getting closer.
