Box Office: ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ Chops Off $7.5 Million Opening Day, ‘Lilo & Stitch’ and ‘Mission: Impossible’ Still Leading Charts


'Karate Kid: Legends' earned a $7.5 million opening day, while 'Lilo & Stitch' and 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' look to stay on top.

“ Karate Kid: Legends ” kicked off with $7.5 million from 3,809 theaters across Friday and preview screenings — but it won’t be enough to wax off “Lilo & Stitch” or “ Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning ” from the top of the box office. A 2010 film reboot, led by Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, was a theatrical hit, and Netflix’s popular “Cobra Kai” spinoff series concluded its sprawling six-season run just earlier this year. This new entry pulls together everything that’s come before, with Chan returning to team with original karate kid and “Cobra Kai” star Ralph Macchio to train a new young fighter, played by Ben Wang.
