‘Lilo & Stitch’ May Outgross ‘Snow White’ in Just Three Days
Objectively speaking, 2025 has not started well for Disney at the box office. Despite a strong debut weekend, Captain America: Brave New World failed to meet Marvel’s standards and concluded its box office run with a paltry $414.1 million global cume.
Considering the film’s $180 million budget, Disney likely lost money on the fourth Captain America installment.

Then, of course, there is Snow White.
A Box Office Disaster
After numerous delays, several reshoots, and plenty of controversy, Snow White finally landed in theaters on March 21, 2025. The film, which had a budget of between $240 and $270 million, subsequently imploded.
As of this writing, Snow White has grossed just $82 million in domestic theaters and $100 million overseas. Based on those numbers, Disney stands to lose over $100 million on the film.

While Disney’s box office outlook for this year has been bleak, help is on the horizon.
Lilo & Stitch Looks Like a Blockbuster
Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch will hit theaters on May 23, and so far, all indications point to the film being a rousing success. After delivering a record-breaking trailer and grabbing headlines at the Super Bowl, Lilo & Stitch is tracking towards a strong box office debut.

According to a new report from Deadline, the film is eyeing an opening weekend north of $100 million.
If Lilo & Stitch can deliver such a debut, the film will not only be poised for a massive box office run but will also have outgrossed Snow White’s entire domestic haul in just three days.

With a loaded slate of films set to hit theaters this year, Disney will be able to quickly turn the page on the Captain America and Snow White debacles. By the look of things, Lilo & Stitch is here to save the day.
