Pixar's Hoppers Leaps to Box Office Crown

Pixar's "Hoppers" maintained its leading position at the box office in its second weekend, pulling in $28.5 million. The animated film experienced a modest 37% dip from its opening weekend, indicating strong audience appeal with a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and an "A" CinemaScore. "Hoppers" has amassed $164.7 million globally thus far.

Universal's "Reminders of Him," based on a Colleen Hoover novel, debuted impressively in second place with $18.3 million. This marks the third film adaptation of Hoover's work to perform well at the box office, despite mixed critical reviews.

The micro-budget horror film "Undertone" from A24 opened strongly, earning $9.3 million on a $500,000 budget. This success story comes as the industry gears up for the Academy Awards, with moderate successes like these boosting overall moviegoing.

In contrast, Warner Bros.' "The Bride!" saw a significant drop of 70% in its second weekend, grossing only $2.1 million and failing to recoup its substantial production costs.
