The latest Hollywood animated film, Hoppers, has recorded a good hold at the box office in its second weekend. Debuted with Rs. 45 lakh, the movie went on to gross Rs. 2.75 crore in its first weekend, after which it could add just Rs. 1 crore to the tally from Monday to Thursday, bringing its first week to Rs. 3.75 crore gross in India.
Produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures and helmed by Daniel Chong, Hoppers witnessed just a drop of 10 per cent in the second weekend over the debut weekend, where it collected Rs. 2.50 crore, with Rs. 35 lakh coming on the second Friday, followed by Rs. 1 crore on the second Saturday and Rs. 1.15 crore on the second Sunday.
The running cume of Hoppers has reached Rs. 6.25 crore gross at the Indian box office in its 10 days of theatrical run. It will face strong competition from Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge from this Wednesday onwards, which might put a full stop to its box office journey. Based on the current trends, Hoppers will reach Rs. 7.25 crore to Rs. 7.50 crore by the end of its second week. It would have ended its theatrical run at Rs. 10 crore gross mark if it had a free run in the third week too.
