If Lilo & Stitch Can Be Watched at Home yet - and Disney Plus Wait Explained

UNITED STATES, JUL 5 – Disney confirmed a live-action sequel following the original's $957.6 million global box office success amid piracy causing an estimated $1 billion annual loss in North America, the Motion Picture Association said.

  • The 2025 live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch has overtaken A Minecraft Movie to become the top-grossing film worldwide for the year.
  • This success followed strong Memorial Day weekend box office performance, helped by Disney's lead in domestic revenue totaling $1.1 billion in 2025.
  • Despite the film’s commercial triumph, critics and fans noted it overlooked unique emotional elements from the original franchise and various animated adaptations including the Japanese series Stitch!.
  • Piracy on platforms like YouTube, where pirated Lilo & Stitch videos drew over 200,000 views and featured ads from major companies, raised concerns about revenue loss and brand safety.
  • Disney announced a live-action sequel is in development, while the continued box office strength and piracy issues imply ongoing challenges balancing content success and copyright enforcement.
