In a box office battle similar to Barbie V Oppenheimer, Lilo & Stitch~2025 live action and the last Mission Impossible movie Mission:Impossible - The Final Reckoning get released on the same day for a box office battle.

The winner in the end was the Disney movie Lilo & Stitch~2025 which took a very respectable £9.5 Million to get to the top.

This makes it the fifth top debut in the UK for a Disney live action remake with the top one being the Beauty and the Beast~2017 remake.

The remakes have had a hard time of late with this years Snow White~2024 set to be the lowest grossing so this is a nice boost for the company.

Mission:Impossible - The Final Reckoning enters the box office at number 2 this weekend and its debut gross of £8.5 Million falls just short if Mission:Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 which took £10.3 Million on its debut.

Lat weeks top movie, Final Destination: Bloodlines, falls to number 3 on its second weekend on the box office and has taken nearly £7 Million.
