Pixar's "Hoppers" earned an estimated $12.2 million in its fourth weekend at the domestic box office, bringing its cumulative total to $138.6 million. [1] Globally, the film has crossed $242 million through three weekends of wide release, according to Variety and Box Office Mojo.

The numbers represent a continued decline from the film's $46 million opening weekend on March 7, which had been celebrated as a meaningful recovery for Pixar's original films. The second weekend held well at $28.5 million (a 37 percent drop), but the third and fourth weekends showed steeper declines as new releases entered the market.

Early box office projections had suggested "Hoppers" could generate $500 million or more worldwide, based on its strong opening trajectory. That target now appears ambitious. The film's domestic pace is tracking below Pixar sequels like "Inside Out 2" and "Incredibles 2" at the same point in their runs, though it is outperforming originals like "Elemental" and "Luca."

The Hollywood Reporter noted that the $46 million debut "delivered a key win" for Pixar, ending a cold streak for original animated films that had seen "Elemental" and "Lightyear" underperform. The film, about a 19-year-old who uses technology to inhabit a robotic beaver and explore the animal world, has earned praise for its creativity but mixed reactions to its pacing.

Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian noted the overall 2026 box office is up 23 percent year-over-year, buoyed by strong holdovers including "Hoppers."

A $400 million global finish remains possible but would require strong international legs.
