Disney’s live-actionLilo & Stitch, directed byDean Fleischer Camp, isdestined to hit the $1 billion mark, with it now extremely likely that this huge feat will be achieved come the end of the upcoming weekend. Despite a drop in the number of nationwide theaters it is shown in,Lilo & Stitchis still earning impressive numbers after almost eight weeks on the theatrical circuit, showcased by its most recent weekend domestic revenue of $2.7 million.
Thanks to a further $400,000 on the most recent Monday, July 14,Lilo & Stitchhas now surpassed the$995 million mark globally, split between a $415 million domestic haul and a further $580 million from overseas markets. This makes the remake not only one of the30 highest-grossing movies in Disney’s box office history worldwide, having surpassed the $988 million haul ofThe Lion King, but also the 42nd highest-grossing movie in US box office history, with just $2 million separatingLilo & Stitchand the official top 40.
