The Lilo & Sew Trailer Has Given Disney ...

It was just a few days in the past the primary actual trailer for the Lilo & Stitch remake got here out, and it appears to be like… like these remakes do? That is apparently the one Disney’s putting its weight behind this 12 months, which suggests it’s time to brag about some metrics!

In line with Disney, the Lilo & Sew trailer has garnered 158 million views inside 24 hours. It’s the second-biggest trailer for its enterprise of live-action remakes so far, coming behind the 224.6 million views for the Lion King remake’s teaser trailer. (That teaser, which dropped in November 2018, was the second-biggest trailer drop ever on the time.) Lilo additionally did fairly properly on social media, taking the highest trending spot on Twitter, YouTube, and China’s Douyin platform. Disney gave partial credit score to Sew popping up on the Super Bowl in a brief teaser, which itself had 173.1 million views in 24 hours, and stands because the studio’s most-viewed digital spot.

Disney’s no stranger to bragging about how properly its trailers have done—similar to we’re no stranger to reporting on them—however it’s a bit unusual to see it brag about Lilo & Sew’s teaser getting second place. It additionally highlights how a lot the remakes have misplaced their efficiency: wanting nice was the final saving grace of Lion King, however such views aren’t obvious in what we’ve seen from Lilo. If of us aren’t gonna tune in for Snow White‘s CG dwarfs, they won’t tune in for a CG alien pretending to be a CG canine. As at all times, the perfect and worst factor to occur to this remake could also be it will get youthful generations to look at the unique animated model and see how the 2 differ.

The Lilo & Sew remake hits theaters on Might 23.
