The highly anticipated “Karate Kid: Legends” faced tough competition at the box office this weekend, earning $21 million in its opening frame. The film, which reunites original stars Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio, couldn’t dethrone the mammoth competitors “Lilo & Stitch” and “Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning.”

“Lilo & Stitch” claimed the top spot with an impressive $63 million in its second week, while “Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning” secured $27 million. This brings the Tom Cruise-led film to a global total of $354 million, but it needs to maintain strong momentum to surpass its massive $400 million budget.

Although “Karate Kid: Legends” is expected to turn a profit on its relatively modest $45 million budget, some analysts suggest that the success of Netflix’s “Karate Kid” series may have conditioned audiences to prefer watching this franchise at home. This week’s list also included the debut of “Bring Her Back,” a horror film by Danny and Michael Philippou. The film opened with $7 million, slightly below its predecessor, which had debuted with $10 million.

“Bring Her Back” will need to perform well in the upcoming weekends to reach a comparable total of $91 million.
