“Lilo & Stitch,” a remake of the 2002 animated film about a young Hawaiian girl who befriends a doglike alien, surfed to a U.S. box office-leading $145.5 million opening weekend, while “Final Reckoning,” billed as the final chapter in the story of Tom Cruise’s super spy Ethan Hunt, extracted $63 million, according to the Associated Press.

We were hearing buzz that it was a huge box office day yesterday, and indeed it was with Disney‘s Lilo & Stitch collecting $15.2M, which makes it the best Tuesday in May for a PG rated film. The pic’s running total stands at $197.
