Domestic Performance & Worldwide Earnings
Pixar’s latest film, Hoppers, is now in its seventh week in theaters and currently ranks as the second-highest-grossing animated film, trailing only behind The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and the fourth-highest-grossing title overall of 2026 so far at the global box office, per Box Office Mojo. After delivering a $45.3 million domestic opening, it added another $2.9 million over the April 17-19 weekend, bringing its cumulative domestic total to $161.2 million. Combined with its $206 million international haul, the film’s worldwide total now stands at $367.2 million.
Close to Reaching Theatrical Break-Even Point
Made on a reported budget of $150 million, the sci-fi comedy needs to earn around $375 million, using the commonly cited 2.5x multiplier rule. This means Hoppers still needs to earn roughly $7.8 million to break even at the box office. At its current pace, it appears that the film could potentially achieve this key box-office milestone in the coming weeks.
As the film is gearing up to complete seven weeks in theaters, it has now surpassed the worldwide total of Studio Ghibli’s Academy Award-winning Japanese animated fantasy film Spirited Away (2001). Keep reading for more details.
