On track to hit the $400 million milestone domestically
After 29 days of release, the live-action remake collected $380.0 million at the box office in North America. It is just $20 million away from hitting the $400 million milestone.

For the unversed, Jason Momoa‘s videogame adaptation is at #1 with a $423.8 million domestic haul. The Disney live-action feature is #2 and will potentially beat A Minecraft Movie in its theatrical run. But can it achieve that milestone this weekend?
How much is the film projected to earn this weekend?
According to industry analysts, Lilo & Stitch is projected to earn between $10.5 million and $11.5 million on its fifth three-day weekend.
