Box Office: ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Rules Again With $63 Million, ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ Opens to $21 Million
"Karate Kid: Legends" slashed its way to $17 million at the domestic box office, launching behind expectations.
Though “Legends” has garnered positive reactions from audiences (the film earned an “A-” grade on CinemaScore exit polls compared to the 59% Rotten Tomatoes average from critics), attendance didn’t break out beyond “Karate Kid” fans. “Legends” picks up three years after the “Cobra Kai” finale as a new student (“American Born Chinese” star Ben Wang) becomes the latest protege to Daniel LaRusso (Macchio) and Mr. Han (Chan). Focus Features is releasing the meticulously designed espionage thriller, which boasts an ensemble of Benicio del Toro, newcomer Mia Threapleton, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks and Benedict Cumberbatch.
