Hollywood animated movie, Hoppers, directed by Daniel Chong, recorded a reasonable opening weekend at the box office. Debuted with Rs. 45 lakh, the movie recorded its biggest day on Day 2, when it grossed Rs. 1.20 crore. Hoppers further registered a nominal drop on Day 3, adding Rs. 1.10 crore to the tally. The Sunday dip came due to India vs New Zealand’s T20 World Cup Final match.
Produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures, Hoppers closed its opening weekend at Rs. 2.75 crore gross at the Indian box office. The sci-fi animation film is looking to wind up its opening week around Rs. 3.50-4 crore gross.
Though it’s a low opening weekend its still reasonable for a non-IP animated film. It will be interesting to see how it performs further on the weekdays and then in the second week. Based on the current trends, Hoppers should aim to at least cross the Rs. 10 crore mark by the end of its theatrical run.
