It did not take long for the film to outpace this year's Snow White in a single weekend, pulling in $146 million right out of the gate in the US, eventually crossing the billion-dollar milestone worldwide (per Box Office Mojo). The critics did not hold back either, as many gave it a thumbs-up across the board.
When & Where To Stream Lilo & Stitch?
After the movie's theatrical run lit up the numbers, Disney confirmed the streaming release. The film, which first hit theaters earlier this year, is finally arriving on Disney+ on September 3, 2025. A short teaser video showed Stitch munching on popcorn and included clips backed by the familiar sounds of "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride."
Originally planned as a Disney+ exclusive, the film's journey shifted when the studio changed course and chose to bring it to theaters first. Luckily, that decision proved right as the live-action Lilo & Stitch made over $1.02 billion worldwide, outperforming many big releases and ranking as the year's second-highest grosser, just behind Ne Zha II.
