‘Lilo & Stitch’ Becomes Disney’s Second Most Viewed Live-Action Trailer With 158M – Deadline
By Anthony D’Alessandro Editorial Director/Box Office Editor
The box office is horribly sluggish but there is a silver lining in summer, evident in Disney‘s live-action take of 2002 animation toon Lilo & Stitch which opens on May 23. How’s that? The 24-hour traffic for the trailer that dropped this week clocked 158M views, making it the second most viewed Disney live-action trailer of all time, behind only 2019’s The Lion King teaser trailer.
Within an hour of release, Lilo & Stitch reached the No. 1 spot for trending on Twitter/X and remained in the top 10 for the hours following. The trailer also trended on YouTube, taking the No. 1 spot following release and even reached No. 1 on China’s Douyin platform.
