Disney has just given firm dates to its Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan sequel Freakier Friday and the live-action take of its animated classic Lilo & Stitch for next summer. Lilo & Stitch will open on May 23, 2025, while Freakier Friday is going August 8, 2025.

Everything We Know About ‘Freakier Friday’ So Far

Lilo & Stich moves onto the Memorial Day weekend where it joins Paramount’s next installment of Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible with Tom Cruise. Surely, both can share the wealth, with M:I geared toward male adults and the Disney pic toward families.

Newcomer Maia Kealoha plays Lilo in the live-action version of the Hawaii-set 2002 animated pic; the new take was originally developed for Disney+ before shifting to a theatrical release. The cast also includes Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen. Dean Fleischer Camp ( Marcel the Shell with Shoes On ) directs the film, which follows the relationship between a lonely girl named Lilo and Stitch, an alien engineered to be a force of destruction. Chris Kekaniokalani Bright wrote the script from a previous draft by Mike Van Waes. Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich produce for Rideback, with Ryan Halprin exec producing for the company.

As for Freakier Friday , Disney already had August 8 on hold. The date also sports Warner Bros’ Paul Thomas Anderson-directed untitled feature starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Again, both movies can share the marquee. No one really needs to move.
