Disney's live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' movie is on track to make history at the box office this weekend. According to the latest report from the National Research Group, the film is tracking to make $165 million over the long weekend - a jaw-dropping gross that would see 'Lilo & Stitch' dethrone Tom Cruise's film 'Top Gun: Maverick' as the biggest Memorial Day opener of all time, not adjusted for inflation. That movie opened to $160 million in 2022. Ironically, Cruise also hits the big screen this weekend with 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.'
