Disney Dates Freakier Friday And Lilo & Stitch For Summer 2025

Disney has officially dated the Lilo & Stitch live-action remake and the sequel to Freaky Friday, Freakier Friday, for summer 2025.

Disney has started filling out the corners of its summer release schedule for next year, and they are looking to do that box office domination thing they are known for. Sometimes, the studio can pull it off, but the post-pandemic years have made it a little harder as films that were once developed for streaming have started to make it to theaters. One of those films is the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. We got to see some footage of this film back at D23 and now we know when the film is coming out. Disney has given the film a May 23, 2025 release date, according to Deadline. That means it opens less than a month after Thunderbolts and the same weekend as the next Mission: Impossible movie. Before the previous film, we would have said that was box office suicide, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore, considering the response to Dead Reckoning. The other film that Disney has dated is Freakier Friday, the sequel to Freaky Friday. This is one of those "this only exists because people asked for it" films; we know that filming started not long ago. Disney seems to have faith in fans, not just saying they want and will follow up with their wallets because the film is getting a theatrical release. Freakier Friday will be released in theaters on August 8, 2025.
