Box Office Hoppers Breaks Records: The New King of Animated Films Post-Pandemic!
Box Office Hoppers Sets New Milestones
Box Office Hoppers has reached a remarkable achievement by overtaking Elemental in domestic earnings, now holding the title of the highest-grossing original animated film since the COVID-19 pandemic began. This success comes even as the film faced a setback, losing 440 theaters in North America on Friday, which has affected its box office results. Additionally, competition from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has also played a role in slowing its momentum, yet Hoppers continues to attract audiences.
During its sixth three-day weekend, Hoppers earned an impressive $4.1 million at the domestic box office, making it the third-highest grossing original animated film in this timeframe over the last decade. Despite a 29.3% drop from the previous weekend, the film's total domestic earnings have soared to $157.1 million. Current projections suggest that Hoppers is on track to achieve between $165 million and $170 million in North America.
As reported by Box Office Mojo, Hoppers has officially eclipsed Elemental's domestic total, confirming its position as the leading original animated film since the pandemic. This outstanding accomplishment underscores the film's strong performance, and it still has a significant journey ahead in theaters. Released on March 6, the film has resonated with audiences, contributing to its box office triumph.
On the international stage, Hoppers brought in $7.4 million during its sixth weekend, although this marks a 40.3% decline from the previous weekend. The film's international earnings have now reached $197.3 million across 51 markets. When combined with its domestic earnings, Hoppers' worldwide total has exceeded $350 million, currently at $354.4 million.
Looking forward, Hoppers aims for a global box office total of $400 million. As it continues to draw viewers both domestically and internationally, the film's performance will be closely observed in the upcoming weeks.
