Lilo & Stitch keeps climbing as the live-action remake, riding high after news of a sequel, has now passed another major milestone at the box office. After its sixth Monday in theaters, with $1.1 million pulled in from nearly 3,000 screens, followed by $1.6m on Tuesday, it has moved up to the 51st spot in the all-time domestic box office rankings, passing Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Frozen along the way.
LILO & STITCH mastered the art of the Disney live-action formula. It remembers what we love about Stitch and gives us incredibly sweet moments between him and Lilo (Maia Kealoha) and makes this a truly heartwarming new take on a classic. I sobbed over Stitch, obviously. pic.twitter.com/LBTl2RzVBQ

Lilo & Stitch Surpasses Frozen And Transformers In Domestic Earnings
Lilo & Stitch made $402.7 million in the US, which is about $0.2 million more than Frozen did during its original domestic run. This might not sound like a huge gap, but it’s a symbolic one. While Lilo & Stitch edges ahead in the US, Frozen still dominates on the global scale with nearly $1.3 billion, per Box Office Mojo.
Lilo & Stitch Box Office Summary
- Domestic – $402.7m
- International – $546.8m
- Total – $949.6m
Frozen Box Office Summary
- Domestic- $400.9m
- International- $885.3m

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Box Office Summary
- Domestic- $402.1m
- International- $434.1m
- Total– $836.3m
Lilo & Stitch sits at $949 million worldwide, which makes hitting a billion look more and more unlikely as the weeks go by.
Top 50 Box Office Ranking In Sight For Lilo & Stitch
Only one movie blocks the Disney live-action movie from breaking into the top 50 in US box office history, that being Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, per The Numbers. The gap is a narrow one as Dwayne Johnson’s 2017 hit has an edge of close to $2million. That’s a target Lilo & Stitch should comfortably hit by the weekend.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle Box office (per Box Office Mojo)

- Total – $962.5m
Comparing The 2002 Original With The 2025 Remake
Looking back, the original 2002 animated version had stiff competition, Collider reports. It shared release year with heavyweights like Spider-Man, The Bourne Identity, and The Two Towers. Even then, it turned its $80 million budget into almost $275 million worldwide.
Lilo & Stitch (2002) Box Office Summary
- Domestic – $145.7m
- International – $128.9m
- Total – 274.7m
That was enough to land it among the top-performing films of its year, though nowhere near the heights the remake is reaching now.
