“Hoppers,” the latest original animated film from Disney’s Pixar, easily topped the North American box office with $46 million in ticket sales in its opening weekend, industry estimated showed Sunday.<\/p>\n
The adventure comedy tells the story of Mabel (Piper Curda), a young animal lover who uses technology to transfer her consciousness into a robotic beaver so she can better communicate and protect wildlife.<\/p>\n
The voice cast features Meryl Streep, Jon Hamm and Kathy Najimy.<\/p>\n
“This is a very good opening for an original Pixar film,” said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research.<\/p>\n
“The movie has strong ancillary business, merchandising, and theme park potential, and it’s going to be very profitable.”<\/p>\n
“Scream 7,” the latest installment in the 30-year-old slasher series featuring yet another Ghostface killer, held strong in second place at $17.3 million in the United States and Canada, according to Exhibitor Relations.<\/p>\n
The Paramount film features franchise veterans Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette.<\/p>\n
“The Bride!” — Maggie Gyllenhaal’s genre-hopping take on 1935’s “The Bride of Frankenstein” starring Oscar hopeful Jessie Buckley and past Oscar winner Christian Bale — opened in a disappointing third place at $7.3 million.<\/p>\n
“Warner Bros. has had recent success making films with auteur writer\/directors and big budgets,” Gross said, citing Academy Award frontrunners “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another.”<\/p>\n
“This time, the reception is weak.”<\/p>\n
Sony’s family-friendly animated film “GOAT” — the story of an undersized goat who wants to join a basketball-like “roarball” team — finished in fourth place at $6.6 million.<\/p>\n
The film was produced by NBA superstar Stephen Curry, who also takes on a voice role.<\/p>\n
“Wuthering Heights” — starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the doomed lovers Cathy and Heathcliff from Emily Bronte’s classic novel — dropped to fifth place at $3.75 million.<\/p>\n
Rounding out the top 10 are:<\/p>\n
“Crime 101” ($2 million)<\/p>\n
“Send Help” ($1.6 million)<\/p>\n
“EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert” ($1.52 million)<\/p>\n
“I Can Only Imagine 2” ($1.5 million)<\/p>\n
“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” – reissue ($1.3 million)<\/p>\n
