‘Ballerina’ loses to ‘Lilo & Stitch’ remake in box office dance off
The ‘John Wick’ spinoff didn’t have the moves to dethrone Disney’s latest live-action cash grab.
Hello! Welcome to The Box Office Report for the weekend of June 6-8, 2025.
1. Lilo & Stitch
Weekend gross: $32.5M
Total domestic gross: $335.8M
Last weekend: 1st
Percent drop: 47
Despite earlier signs of pending doom (and my enthusiastic hope for the trend’s demise), it looks like we’re living in the summer of the live-action remake. The new version of Lilo & Stitch has now captured the No. 1 spot at the box office for all three weekends it’s been in theaters, pretty easily holding off From the World of John Wick: Ballerina to stay in that spot.
Lilo & Stitch will likely vacate the No. 1 spot next weekend when the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon hits theaters. It’s the season of fresh ideas, folks!
The Lilo & Stitch remake is currently the second highest grossing film in North America in 2025, with its $335.8 million haul trailing only A Minecraft Movie’s $423.6 million.

2. From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
Weekend gross: $25M
Total domestic gross: $25M
Last weekend: New release
Percent drop: NA
Ballerina — no, I’m not going to keep using its ridiculous full title — underperformed when compared against the trajectory of the John Wick franchise. Each John Wick movie has topped the opening weekend of its predecessor — John Wick with $14.4 million, John Wick: Chapter Two with $30.4 million, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum with $56.8 million and John Wick: Chapter 4 with $73.8 million.
Do people need a break from the franchise? Is swapping Keanu Reeves out for Ana de Armas a no-go? Was having Len Wiseman as its director a red flag for Ballerina?
