Hoppers hops over new releases to rule the weekend box office as The Bride! falls

There were two new big releases in movie theaters this weekend, but neither proved to be much of a financial match for Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers. The film maintained its position at the top of the weekend grosses, bringing in $28.5 million in the United States and another $31 million abroad, bringing its total gross to $164.7 million globally. Though its gross fell a bit compared to its opening weekend, it’s still pretty good news for Pixar. Last week, Hoppers scored the biggest opening for the studio since Coco in 2017. 

Reminders Of Him, the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation, opened to $18.25 million in the U.S. Its total global box office sitting at about $28 million against a $25 million budget. Reminders Of Him is the first Hoover adaptation that the author also wrote the screenplay for, and critic Caroline Siede called it “a leaps and bounds improvement over Regretting You,” last year’s Hoover outing starring Allison Williams and Dave Franco. The other new release in this week’s top ten is Undertone, A24’s new aural horror which opened to $9.3 million against a budget of just $500,000. 

The worst news of the weekend, however, has to belong to The Bride!, the Jessie Buckley-starring film from director Maggie Gyllenhaal. Perhaps the Buckley fans were busy streaming Hamnet ahead of her Oscar win last night, but they largely were not at the theater. After opening to just about $7 million last week, it fell about 70% this week, earning only about $2.1 million in its second weekend. It has earned about $21 million worldwide, against what Variety reports was a $90 million production and $65 million marketing budget.
