The international box-office numbers are in and Disney will be very happy as Pixar’s “Hoppers” beat all projections.
The animated feature debut to $46 million domestically, the best for an original animated movie since 2017’s “Coco” – beating out 19 other original films to have opened in that nine-year period (the next biggest is “The Wild Robot” at $35.8 million).
The title also pulled in a further $42 million overseas for an $88 million worldwide total. The film’s success helped lift the overall domestic box-office to $98 million for the weekend, up 76% on the same weekend last year.
That’s certainly better than what’s going on with “The Bride”. The Maggie Gyllenhaal-directed genre film, which came in even below its revised expectations to just $7.3 million domestically, $6.3 million overseas for a $13.6 million worldwide debut.
With its $80 million production budget and $65 million marketing spend, sources for the trades believe the film could lose as much as $90 million for the studio by the time its done.
Domestically, “Scream 7” took $17.3 million in its second weekend with a 73% drop but still managed second place. “Goat” was fourth with $6.6 million, “Wuthering Heights” fifth with $3.75 million.
