Summer Blockbuster Season Kicks Off With Huge Thursday Openings For Lilo & Stitch And Mission: Impossible 8
Summer blockbuster season is finally here, and 2025 will kick things off with Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. One is another live-action adaptation of a beloved Disney animated movie, while the other is the supposed end of the line for Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt.
Thursday preview screenings took place yesterday evening, and Deadline has just shared some early numbers. Lilo & Stitch reportedly made around $14 million, though the trade expects that figure to rise by the time confirmed figures land later today.
Current weekend estimates point to a $150 million four-day Memorial Day opening weekend for the $100 million Disney movie.
While Experiment 626 looks set to make short work of Cruise's iconic Imf agent, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is still eyeing a franchise-best $8 million from previews. Paramount Pictures dropped the original Dead Reckoning Part Two subtitle for a more definitive moniker that has clearly helped increase interest in the movie.
