The two films delivered the biggest Memorial Day picnic in history at the box office, while 'Lilo' supplanted Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' as the holiday's top opener of all time, among numerous other feats.

It’s a Memorial Day weekend for the box office record books. Movie theaters across the country were jamming as “Lilo & Stitch” and Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” fueled the largest Memorial Day holiday in history — and established several other benchmarks in the process.

The twin releases of Walt Disney Co.’s Lilo & Stitch and Paramount Global’s Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning lifted ticket sales at US and Canadian theaters to a record $329.8 million for the long Memorial Day weekend.

Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media’s “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” brought in $77 million domestically for second place, with “Final Destination Bloodlines,” “Thunderbolts*” and “Sinners” rounding out the top five.

It was a blockbuster weekend for AMC Entertainment ( AMC ).

We’ve got two major Hollywood movies this holiday weekend, Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning and Lilo & Stitch , and they’re both killing it in theaters.

Last year, theater owners and industry professionals wrung their hands as Memorial Day box office performance tanked. This year could not be more different.
