Pixar’s ‘Hoppers’ Opens No. 1 With $88 Million Worldwide, Best Original Animated Debut Since ‘Coco

Early acclaim plus broad turnout suggest word‑of‑mouth momentum on a $150 million title that now needs staying power.

Overview

  • The film earned an estimated $46 million in the U.S. and Canada and $88 million globally, topping the weekend box office.
  • Critics and audiences responded strongly, with about a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, an A CinemaScore, and a 75% PostTrak “definitely recommend.”
  • The launch lifted overall domestic weekend revenues to roughly $98 million, about 76% higher than the same frame last year.
  • Hoppers’ displaced ‘Scream 7’ to second place at roughly $17.3 million, while ‘The Bride!’ stumbled with about $7.3 million domestically.
  • Trade coverage frames the opening as a welcome rebound for Pixar originals after recent underperformers, though profitability will hinge on sustained weeks of play at home and abroad.
