Hoppers’ Poised to Repeat No. 1 as ‘Reminders of Him’ Opens and A24’s ‘Undertone’ Targets a Strong ROI

Spring-break attendance plus premium formats position Pixar’s original for a softer second-weekend drop.

Overview

  • Hoppers has reached about $48 million domestically and is projected to add roughly $27 million in its second weekend (around a 40% dip) with expanded IMAX and other premium showtimes.
  • Box-office trackers expect Hoppers to hold the top spot over Universal’s Reminders of Him, which is forecast to launch to $10 million–$15 million at approximately 3,400 North American locations.
  • Reminders of Him carries a reported $25 million budget and is rolling out in 57 international markets, with analysts saying a theatrical profit looks attainable with overseas grosses.
  • A24’s microbudget horror Undertone, reportedly made for about $500,000, is projected to open near $7 million on roughly 2,500 screens after a Fantasia premiere and Sundance Midnight screenings.
  • Marking the first original animated film to open above $40 million domestically since the pandemic, Hoppers could surpass Pixar’s Elemental ($154 million) if strong holds continue.
