The post-Memorial Day weekend box office saw strong results, with total grosses exceeding $144 million, a significant increase from the previous year. While not surpassing the record-breaking 2023 numbers, the weekend's performance is noteworthy. Disney's *Lilo & Stitch* is projected for a strong second weekend, while Sony's *Karate Kid: Legends* is expected to debut in the $21-$23 million range, though some predict a lower opening. Paramount's *Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning* continues its success with a solid second-weekend performance, aided by IMAX showings. A24's *Bring Her Back* also had a promising opening, exceeding expectations for a horror film.
