The Dailies reports on the latest box office news from this week.
Karate Kid: Legends (Sony Pictures)
- 🏝️ Lilo & Stitch: (Wk 2) $63M domestic weekend (-57%), $280.1M domestic total, $610.8M global. Disney's live-action remake holds the top spot.
- 🕴️Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning: (Wk 2) $27.3M domestic weekend (-57%), $122.6M domestic total, $353.8M global. Tom Cruise's likely franchise finale maintains strong holds globally, though China's $25.2M debut suggests no bailout from the Middle Kingdom this time.
- 🥋 Karate Kid: Legends: 🆕 $21M domestic opening, $47M global debut. Sony's attempt to wax-on the nostalgia factor stumbled with an underwhelming launch despite an A- CinemaScore and 4.5/5 PostTrak score.
- 💀 Final Destination: Bloodlines: (Wk 3) $10.8M domestic weekend (-44%), $111.7M domestic total, $229.3M global.
- 👻 Bring Her Back: 🆕 $7.1M domestic opening. A24's latest supernatural horror from the Philippou brothers (Talk to Me) debuts with strong reviews (90% RT) but a shockingly high B+ CinemaScore for such grim material.
- 🧛♂️ Sinners: (Wk 7) $5.2M domestic weekend (-39%), $267M domestic total, $350M global. Ryan Coogler's original vampire thriller continues its remarkable run, inching closer to $300M domestic—a mythical number for non-franchise originals these days.
- 🦸♂️ Thunderbolts*: (Wk 5) $4.8M domestic weekend (-50%), $181.9M domestic total.
- 👬 Friendship: (Wk 4) $2.6M domestic weekend (-51%), $12.4M domestic total. A24's indie comedy holds steady.
- 🤠 The Last Rodeo: (Wk 2) $2.1M domestic weekend (-60%), $10.8M domestic total. Angel Studios' faith-based offering continues to find its niche audience.
- 🎤 J-Hope Tour 'Hope on the Stage' in JAPAN: 🆕 $939K domestic opening. The BTS member's concert film lands in limited release.
The Big Picture: Hollywood delivered a solid $149.2M weekend (+55.6% vs. last year), with ‘Lilo & Stitch's’ $610M global haul completely flipping the narrative around Disney's live-action remakes. ‘Snow White's’ bomb had everyone writing Disney's remake obituary just weeks ago, but ‘Lilo & Stitch’ proves there's still gold in them thar hills when you pick the right properties. Meanwhile, ‘Karate Kid: Legends'‘ underwhelming $21M debut shows that ‘Cobra Kai's’ Netflix popularity doesn't automatically translate to theatrical success.
