Our Take On The Lilo & Stitch Milestone
$1 Billion Would Just Be Icing On The Cake
Although it seems on track to be a record-setting success for Disney, the 2025 remake has already more than proven itself after just two weeks in theaters. The reportedbudget ofLilo & Stitchis only $100, which means that its estimated break-even point is most likely somewhere around $250 million. It has already more than doubled that total, soany money it makes from now on is almost certainly pure profit, cementing the movie as a major hit.
