Pixar’s Hoppers, by contrast, launched at No. 1 with $46 million domestic and $88 million worldwide against a $150 million budget, aided by strong early reception (94% Rotten Tomatoes, A CinemaScore), marking a rare original win for the studio in recent years. Scream 7 followed in second with $17.3 million, while GOAT and Wuthering Heights rounded out the top five with solid international legs and continued box office presence.
