Pixar's losing streak ends with "Hoppers"

10 Mar - After a string of failed original animations, Pixar is happy to find that their latest original, "Hoppers" has topped the box office.

The film has now earned USD 46 million in North America and USD 42 million internationally, amassing a global total of USD 88 million. This makes it the biggest launch for an original animated film since 2017's "Coco".

It is noted that Pixar has been taking a loss with its original animated films for the past several years, with the previously released "Elio," "Lightyear" and "Elemental" not doing very well at the box office.

"Elio" did not achieve the result that Pixar was hoping for

The studio, however, did amazingly when it comes to sequels, with "Inside Out 2" making USD 1.6 billion at the box office back in 2024.

"This is a fantastic original film from the incredible team at Pixar, and it's wonderful to see audiences coming out with their friends and families to enjoy it together," Disney Entertainment chair Alan Bergman said in a statement. "Congratulations to our director Daniel Chong, our producer Nicole Paradis Grindle and our talented cast, along with Pete Docter, Jim Morris and everyone at Pixar, on a tremendous launch."

"Hoppers" tells the story of an animal-lover named Mabel Tanaka, who inadvertently started an uprising among the animals when she transfers her mind into a lifelike robotic beaver to communicate and save their habitat from destruction.
