“Karate Kid” is kicking its way back to movie theaters this weekend.
The latest installment of the classic franchise, “Karate Kid: Legends,” has made $2.3 million in previews so far at the box office. It’s projected to make $25 million in its opening weekend, with some estimates punching a bit higher at $30 million. With a $45 million production budget, the Sony and Columbia film should crane-kick to a tidy profit.

However, Disney and Rideback’s live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch” will reign over the box office for the second weekend in a row. It’s expected to make more than $60 million in its second weekend, after setting a record last week for the biggest launch over Memorial Day weekend. Paramount and Skydance’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” will put up a fight against “Karate Kid: Legends,” and the Tom Cruise action movie aims to make $30 million in its second frame.
Also opening this weekend is the A24 horror “Bring Her Back,” which is looking to scare up $6 million in its debut. It’s directed by Michael and Danny Philippou, who directed the 2022 horror hit “Talk to Me.”
