US EditionPixar's Hoppers trounces The Bride at the weekend box office
- With Sunday estimates, Hoppers topped the North American box office with $46 million in domestic opening-weekend ticket sales, according to studio estimates.
- Produced for $150 million, Hoppers is Pixar's latest original film after struggling with non-franchise fare in recent years, and director Daniel Chong attended its February 23, 2026 premiere at El Capitan Theatre.
- International markets show Hoppers earned $42 million from 40 territories, led by the United Kingdom with $6.4 million, Mexico $3.7 million, France $3.6 million, and Germany $3.6 million.
- Hoppers' strong start made it harder for Warner Bros. to compete with The Bride's weak launch, which opened to $13.6 million worldwide against a $90 million budget.
- Hoppers has yet to open in China, Japan or Australia, and next weekend two very different films will vie for box-office gold with it while holdovers Scream 7 and GOAT remain strong.
