Box-Office Weekend: Three for Lilo & Stitch

Disney’s Lilo & Stitch has held onto the top spot of the box-office weekend for the third week in a row. This week, it bested newcomer From the World of John Wick: Ballerina by $7.5 million.

In its third weekend of release, Disney’s Lilo & Stitch managed to stay perched atop the box-office weekend top ten by bringing in $32.5 million. This gives the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures release a three-week total of $335.8 million. This showing was enough best the second-place debut of From the World of John Wick: Ballerina which claimed second place for Lionsgate with $25.0 million during its first weekend in theaters. That debut pushed Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning down to third place where it took in $15 million for Paramount Pictures International, bringing the film’s three-week total to $149.2 million. Sony Pictures Releasing saw Karate Kid: Legends lose a spot to land in fourth place where it made $8.7 million over the course of its second weekend in release, giving the film an overall total of $35.4 million. The Warner Bros. release Final Destination: Bloodlines fell from fourth to fifth place this weekend where it made $6.5 million to raise its four-week total of $123.6 million.

Focus Features saw Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme crack the top ten in its second weekend of release to claim sixth place with $6.3 million. The film now sports an overall total of $7.1 million. Falling two spots from last weekend, A24’s Bring Her Back took seventh place with $3.5 million this weekend, giving the film a two-week tally of $14.1 million. Eighth place saw the debut of the GKIDS product Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye with $3.1 million. Meanwhile, Sinners fell three spots to claim ninth place for Warner Bros. with $3.0 million, bringing the film’s eight-week total to $272.6 million. Finally, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures saw Thunderbolts* claim the tenth spot with $2.5 million after finishing in seventh last weekend. This gives the film a six-week total of $186.5 million.

Well, another weekend has come and gone and the three films at the tail end of last weekend’s top ten all dropped from this week’s list. After five weeks in release and an eighth-place finish last weekend, A24’s Friendship fell out of the top ten with a five-week total of $14.7 million. Meanwhile, Angel Studios saw The Last Rodeo bow out of the top ten after a ninth-place finish last weekend sporting a three-week total of $13.1 million . Finally, the tenth-place film last weekend, j-hope Tour ‘Hope on the Stage’ in Japan: Live Viewing also dropped from this weekend’s list as it was a limited release.
