Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is second in place at the box office.
The much-anticipated installment of the thriller franchise was beaten by Disney’s Lilo & Stitch during the opening weekend of both movies.
It would be rather safe to say that the studio’s live-action release of Lilo & Stitch is making up for the disappointment caused by the live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Based off the 2002 animate feature film, Lilo & Stitch is expected to project a breaking four-day holiday weekend opening of 180 million dollars, as per Deadline.
It is a rather impressive feat considering it went head-to-head against Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible series, which would likely open to a franchise-best 77 million dollars.
Meanwhile, Snow White, that starred Rachel Zegler in the titular role and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, earned 42.2 million dollars.
While Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning sees Tom Cruise reprise his role as Ethan Hunt, Maia Kealoha made her film debut as Lilo Pelekai in Lilo & Stitch with the original’s writer-director, Chris Sanders, reprising his voice role as Stitch.
