Disney's remake of "Lilo & Stitch" has kicked off what is expected to be a massive box office run with $14.5 million from Thursday preview screenings. It's a result that is just above the $14.1 million Thursday preview total for Disney's 2018 Memorial Day release,

Meanwhile, “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” is hoping to establish a new opening weekend record for the 29-year-old franchise — a distinction that belongs to 2018’s “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” with $61 million. Overseas, “The Final Reckoning” should bring in $125 million to $130 million for a worldwide start above $200 million.

Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning are set to drive the North American box office to a huge Memorial Day holiday weekend, with the aggregate gross for all films over the four-day period expected to be as high as $300m.
