"Disney and Pixar's environmental adventure Hoppers topped the North American box office this weekend with $46 million in domestic ticket sales in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. After adding another $42 million from international showings, the film celebrated an $88 million global launch in total, the biggest for an original animated film since Coco came out in 2017."
"A Warner Bros. release, The Bride! starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, debuted to an estimated $7.3 million from 3,304 domestic locations. It cost around $80 million to produce, not including marketing and promotion expenses."
"Hoppers got a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, 75% definitely recommend from PostTrak polling and an A CinemaScore, suggesting it should have a long and profitable run in theaters. Directed by Daniel Chong, the movie is about a 19-year-old environmentalist who infiltrates the animal world in the body of a beaver."
Hoppers, an environmental adventure film from Disney and Pixar, dominated the North American box office with $46 million in domestic sales and $42 million internationally for an $88 million global opening weekend. This represents the largest debut for an original animated film since Coco in 2017. The film received critical acclaim with a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and an A CinemaScore, suggesting strong theatrical longevity. Directed by Daniel Chong, Hoppers follows a 19-year-old environmentalist who inhabits a beaver's body. In contrast, Warner Bros.' The Bride!, an R-rated Frankenstein reimagining starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, opened to only $7.3 million from 3,304 locations despite an $80 million production budget. Hoppers' success provides relief for Disney and Pixar following last year's disappointing Elio performance.
