Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” and Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” dominated the U.K. and Ireland box office in May, driving the market to a robust £109.1 million ($147.7 million) total that represents a 50% increase over the same period last year, according to Comscore.

Ahead of its third weekend in theaters, 2025's Lilo & Stitch hits a massive global box office milestone that is rare for a Disney live-action remake.

Disney felt some pressure with the Hollywood strikes two years ago, pushing back film production and delaying some releases. It bounced back last year, ending 2024 with the highest-grossing film worldwide, Inside Out 2, as well as the No. 3 spot, Moana 2, and the No. 6 spot, Mufasa: The Lion King.
