Lilo & Stitch (Live Action Remake)

Here’s the Trailer.

I had never seen the original animated feature until my daughter watched it a few years back. It was a solid movie, with a decent story and good voice acting.

This remake looks pretty decent. I’ll have to remember to show my girl the trailer.


This is one of those live actions adaptations that added nothing useful to the story, took out some setup for later gags.... and yet left the gags in so that they made no sense to anyone not familiar with the original animation.

Still, killing it at the box office and looks like it'll sail past $1 billion easy enough. If the kids like it, what do I know?

Which means Disney will probably keep going with the live action remakes. Sad.

Although I wonder if the money this movie makes will be washed out by the money Pixar will probably lose on that other new movie, Elio.


Elio looks to be another bomb at the box office.... apparently test audiences, even their so-called target demographic, gave it a middling response.

In other live action remake news:
How to Train Your Dragon nearly cleared $200 million.

A few of the live action remakes have been a push but I thought The Jungle Book 1967-->2016 was in most ways better.

Back to Lilo and Stitch:
I think I was a little over wrought with my "sail past $1 billion" remark but it presently has legs enough to just get there. We'll see what the competition does to it over the rest of this month.

It'll be interesting to see if it does manage to crawl over the $1 Billion mark. If it does, it'll have to be before July hits. Then you've got Jurassic World: Rebirth, Superman, and the FF movie. Those could suck all the wind out of its sails. And now it's got to compete with How to Train Your Dragon for the kid market.
