Unstoppable in both national and international cinemas, an unusual trio of films has seized the attention of film fans. Even two weekends post-release, the heartwarming pair "Lilo & Stitch" and the chaser, Tom Cruise (62), are ruling the top spots in the charts. As "Blickpunkt:Film" reports, another 650,000 viewers in Germany watched the live-action Disney remake, surpassing the one million viewer mark before the weekend.
Tom Cruise and his "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" crew claimed the second spot, with an additional 234,000 tickets sold. While the million mark is still out of reach for them at home, the gap to the leading duo indicates taking over the chart throne may remain a challenging mission for the relentless action star.
The First International Billion-Dollar Film in 2025?
A glance at the international box office results offers support to this statement. The Hawaiian girl Lilo and her extraterrestrial buddy Stitch have already banked over $632 million globally, according to "Box Office Mojo." In the same timeframe, "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" has garnered roughly $354 million, with $123 million coming from the domestic market and $280 million for "Lilo & Stitch."
The odds of "Lilo & Stitch" becoming the first film to earn over $1 billion at the international box office in 2025 are favorable. For now, the hype surrounding the "Minecraft Movie" appears to be dwindling just short of the magical mark, with worldwide earnings currently at approximately $947 million.
