Box Office: ‘Hoppers’ Powers to $88 Million Globally, ‘The Bride!’ Flatlines With $13 Million Worldwide

Disney’s Pixar animal adventure “Hoppers” was No. 1 at the global box office with $88 million, an encouraging result for an original animated film. Meanwhile, this weekend’s other new release, director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s R-rated “The Bride!,” was D.O.A. with $13.6 million worldwide, a tragic start against its $90 million budget.

“Hoppers” generated $42 million overseas from 40 territories, as well as $46 million domestically. After struggling with non-franchise fare in recent years, “Hoppers” is primed to be Pixar’s first original hit in nearly a decade. This marks the largest debut for original animation since the studio’s 2017’s musical fantasy “Coco,” which became a powerhouse with $823 million by the end of its theatrical run. Given exceptional reviews and strong audience scores, box office watchers predict “Hoppers” will enjoy a long life in theaters.

Top overseas markets were the United Kingdom with $6.4 million, Mexico with $3.7 million, France with $3.6 million and Germany with $3.6 million.
