LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS )’s live-action remake of the animated classic "Lilo & Stitch" topped box office charts in the United States and Canada with $183 million in ticket sales over the U.S. Memorial Day weekend, according to estimates released on Monday.

"Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," starring Tom Cruise, was on pace to bring in $77.5 million from Friday through Monday, distributor Paramount Global said.

"Mission: Impossible," the eighth installment in Cruise’s action franchise, racked up $205.5 million around the world.
