Disney is developing a sequel to its live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch,” following the success of the original film, which has grossed over $910 million at the global box office since Memorial Day weekend. The upcoming project was announced with a teaser featuring Stitch driving a hot-pink convertible, referencing his government name Experiment 626.
The sequel is part of Disney’s trend of reviving successful live-action remakes, including “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Aladdin.” However, not all classic Disney films have proven successful in their revival attempts, with box office failures such as “Snow White” and “Dumbo.”
Details about the sequel are currently unknown, including the creative team, plot details, or release timeline. The film’s success has been attributed to its generation-spanning appeal, which has helped it become a billion-dollar blockbuster at the box office. The original 2002 animated film remains a beloved franchise, with merchandise sales generating $2.6 billion for Disney in 2024 alone.
