'Lilo & Stitch' becomes Hollywood's first US$1bil movie of 2025
Stitch has become increasingly popular, ranking in the top 10 bestselling Disney franchises, alongside stalwarts like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the princesses, Star Wars and Marvel. Photo: Handout Walt Disney Co.'s live-action adaptation Lilo & Stitch has now generated more than US$1bil in worldwide box office revenue, becoming the first US film of the year to do so. The movie, based on the 2002 animated film of the same name, made US$416.2mil in the United States and Canada and an additional US$584.8mil internationally. It is the highest-grossing Disney live-action film ever in Mexico, where it brought in US$67mil. "We knew there was a lot of love for Lilo & Stitch with audiences around the world, yet we never take that for granted," Disney Entertainment co-Chairman Alan Bergman said in a statement. "We're proud of how this new film has connected with people." The Burbank-based media and entertainment giant has already announced that a sequel to Lilo & Stitch is in development. The original animated movie was only a modest box-office performer at the time, bringing in US$273mil. Yet over time, Stitch has become increasingly popular, ranking in the top 10 bestselling Disney franchises, alongside stalwarts like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the princesses, Star Wars and Marvel, Disney has said. Sales of Stitch-themed merchandise totaled about US$2.6bil last year. And before the new film was released, the Lilo & Stitch franchise, which includes animated series, TV films and direct-to-video movies, drove 546 million hours of global viewership on Disney+, with the original movie accounting for more than half of that. Bergman said in May that the popularity of the little blue alien "definitely" played a role in greenlighting the live-action film. The success of Lilo & Stitch comes as family-friendly movies have ruled the box office. The momentum began in April with Warner Bros. Pictures' A Minecraft Movie , which has now made US$955mil worldwide, and continued with Lilo & Stitch and Universal Pictures' live-action adaptation How To Train Your Dragon , which released in June and collected more than US$564mil globally. Globally, the biggest film of the year remains Ne Zha 2 , a Chinese animated juggernaut that grossed more than US$2bil in ticket sales, the vast majority of which came from its home country. – Los Angeles Times/Tribune News Service

2 New Drops From IWC & HVILINA Serve Pilot Rizz & Astronaut Chic
Everyone has fantasised about flying through the clouds, or rocketing into space – and one way to realise that fantasy is by having one of these watches on your wrist. From encapsulating a legendary fighter pilot school, to putting the solar system in your hand – here are two new timepiece drops that take to you to the skies, space and beyond. IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Miramar The new Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Miramar, which comes in two different editions, adds to IWC's Colours of TOP GUN collection. The unique model, which is only available in 1,000 pieces, has a light blue ceramic case that was created by Pantone® and was influenced by the t-shirts that TOP GUN instructors wore. Zirconium oxide and metallic oxides are mixed in exact ratios during the manufacturing process of the coloured ceramic case, necessitating numerous trials to produce the desired shade and uniformity across the dial and strap. The ceramic case is combined with a rubber strap and dial that are both the same shade, making for a unified and eye-catching design. The IWC 69380 calibre, a high-precision chronograph movement with a column-wheel design and 46 hours of power reserve, powers this edition. It includes a titanium case back engraved with the 'TOP GUN' logo and a soft-iron inner case for magnetic protection. The Maison also introduces a stainless steel edition in addition to the ceramic one, which is the first time a Pantone® colour from the TOP GUN series has been used in a non-ceramic watch. This model comes with a matching rubber strap, a Miramar blue dial, and a 41mm steel case. Legibility is improved by rhodium-plated hands that are filled with Super-LumiNova®, and the in-house 69385 movement is visible through the open caseback. With the help of IWC's EasX-CHANGE® system, users of both models can easily switch up the straps to match their outfit or mood. The ceramic version costs US$13,500 (~RM57,057), while the steel version costs US$7,200 (~RM30,430), both of which can be purchased through IWC. HVILINA's Universum Cosmographia The recently unveiled Universum Cosmographia by HVILINA is a watch that skilfully blends contemporary horology with historical astronomy. With a three-dimensional planetarium and a GMT disc modelled after a celestial chart from the ninth century, the watch draws inspiration from both contemporary planetary science and mediaeval star maps. The project, which was created in partnership with Professor Richard Kerner, a mediaeval cartography specialist and physicist at the Sorbonne, connects traditional cosmological worldviews with contemporary innovation. The watch, which has a 50-meter water resistance and sapphire crystals on both sides, is housed in a stainless steel case with a redesigned bezel and caseback. A finely detailed 3D model of the Solar System, with tiny stylised planets that seem to float in zero gravity, is at its centre. The multi-layered dial is enhanced by guilloché engraving, which gives it depth and a sense of celestial movement. Through a sculpted aperture above the planetary display, a mediaeval star map is revealed by a rotating GMT disc. The zodiac constellations' Latin inscriptions, on the other hand, show the day and night as contrasting halves of light and dark, forming a 24-hour cycle. The timepiece is powered by the Miyota 9075 Premium automatic movement, delivering GMT functionality, a 42-hour power reserve and a daily accuracy of -10/+30 seconds. The movement's rotor is engraved with trans-Neptunian objects. The astronomical theme is furthered by the inclusion of the oval-shaped dwarf planet Haumea. The timepiece, which retails for EU€400 (~RM1,985), can now be pre-ordered through HVILINA's online store. The official release date of the watch is November 2025.

Chicago P.D." Star LaRoyce Hawkins is Grand Marshal of the 96th Bud Billiken® Parade, Hosted by Chicago Defender Charities
The Bud Billiken® Parade, the largest African American parade in the United States. CHICAGO, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On Saturday, August 9, 2025 the 96th Annual Bud Billiken® Parade will take place on Chicago's South Side and will be a star-studded celebration of youth, education, and excellence – headlined by a beloved hometown hero. Chicago P.D. star and Harvey, IL native, LaRoyce Hawkins, will serve as Grand Marshal for this year's parade and festival. This year's theme, 'Road to 100', highlights that we are a few years away from our 100th anniversary. Since 1929, The Bud Billiken® Parade continues to uplift, empower, and inspire, marking the back-to-school season with pride and purpose. 'Imagine being a 9-year-old Black boy from Harvey, Illinois. The first time I heard the words 'Bud Billikin,' I remember being amused by the whimsical alliteration. Growing up just outside of Chicago, my family didn't always have easy access to the parade – Chicago often felt like a field trip. Eventually, watching the Bud Billikin Parade's live broadcast became a cherished tradition in our home. Actually attending the parade felt like a distant possibility, so to now be named Grand Marshal is both surreal and humbling. What makes this moment even more meaningful is that I get to share it with my son. That alone makes this the most unforgettable moment of the summer. With deep gratitude and pride.' –LaRoyce Hawkins 'LaRoyce Hawkins is an outstanding role model and a powerful example for our city's youth,' says Myiti Sengstacke-Rice, President/CEO of the Chicago Defender Charities and Chair of the Bud Billiken® Parade. 'His passion, commitment to service, and love for Chicago make him the perfect choice to lead this year's parade. For 96 years, the Bud Billiken® Parade has united generations -it's a movement, a cultural touchstone, and a launching pad for the future.' Joining LaRoyce Hawkins will be a dynamic lineup of celebrities, civic leaders, and changemakers. Honorary Grand Marshals include community influencers, educators, business leaders, and youth mentors who embody the values of legacy and leadership. The Parade kicks off at 10:00 a.m. at 41st Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, traveling south through Washington Park and ending at Garfield Boulevard (55th Street) and Ellsworth Drive. Following the parade, attendees will enjoy the 'It Takes A Village' Bud Billiken® Festival, a full-day event featuring entertainment, local vendors, free school supplies, haircuts, health screenings, and family-friendly activities. The Bud Billiken® Festival runs from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Washington Park and includes: Live performances and DJ entertainment Food and ice cream trucks Free school supplies and giveaways Health screenings, haircuts, and hair braiding Local vendors and resource booths For more information, visit and follow us on social media: Facebook: @BudBillikenParadeChicagoTwitter/X: @BudParadeInstagram: @budbillikenparade **Media Contact:****Jakari Anderson**Email: jakarianderson125@
