Another big winner this weekend is Hannah Waddingham, who stars in both the live-action Disney remake and Tom Cruise's last outing as Ethan Hunt.

"Lilo & Stitch' ignited to $300 million globally while "Mission: Impossible" climbs near $200 million in its first weekend.

Disney's live-action Lilo and Stitch remake and Tom Cruise's supposedly final Mission: Impossible outing have opened as two of the biggest films of the year in a record-breaking weekend at the box office. Lilo and Stitch, which revisits the 2002 animated family favourite, exceeded expectations with takings of $341m (£252m) around the world.
