Hoppers continues to perform steadily at the North American box office, even after losing its top spot over the weekend. The Pixar original has shown resilience, maintaining solid numbers despite increasing competition and a noticeable drop in collections.
The animated film is currently on track to reach around $150 million domestically in the coming weeks, with no direct competition in its genre still helping its theatrical run.
Biggest Drop Yet on Third Monday
On its third Monday, Hoppers recorded its biggest drop since release but still managed to achieve a notable milestone. The film earned $1.4 million on the day, marking the third biggest third Monday for an original animated film in over a decade.
However, the film saw a sharp decline of 61.4% compared to the previous Monday, indicating the impact of new releases and growing competition at the box office.
Comparison With Other Animated Hits
Despite the drop, Hoppers outperformed Coco, which earned $1.1 million on its third Monday. However, it remained behind The Wild Robot with $3.5 million and Elemental, which collected $3 million on the same day in their respective runs.
These comparisons highlight that while Hoppers experienced a decline, it still holds a strong position among recent original animated releases.
Domestic and Worldwide Collection So Far
After its third Monday, Hoppers has reached a domestic total of $121.6 million. Internationally, the film has added $122.2 million, taking its worldwide total to $243.8 million.
The film is now close to crossing the $250 million mark globally and is expected to finish its theatrical run between $180 million and $220 million in North America.
Budget and Future Outlook
Made on an estimated budget of $150 million, Hoppers still has some distance to cover before reaching the break-even point. However, with steady performance and limited genre competition, the film is expected to continue adding to its total in the coming weeks.
As new releases enter the market next month, the real test for Hoppers will be maintaining its momentum against stronger competition at the global box office.
