1. Hoppers– $28.5M/$86.8M
Disney/Pixar’s Hoppers dropped just 37% in its second weekend, bringing in another $28.5M for $86.8M domestic, and $164M worldwide. Does Pixar have the next great franchise on the level of Toy Story and Finding Nemo? We’ll know in the coming weeks, but as of right now the film is already a success.
2. Reminders of Him (review)- $18.2M
What can I say? Audiences love Colleen Hoover adaptations right now. While Reminders of Him‘s $18M debut is nowhere near the $50M of It Ends with Us, the number is better than last year’s Regretting You at $13M. The romance drama led by Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers survived a predictably low Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 56%. Audiences, who are likely already Hoover fans, have it at 90%. Worldwide, the film has $28M overall.
3. undertone (review)- $9.3M
A24 dropped the buzzy podcasting horror flick undertone into 2,570 theaters and got $9.3M, beating the third week of Scream 7 to win the genre showdown. Interestingly, audiences hated the film, holding it at just 52% on RT, while critics were more favorable with 75%. That sometimes happens with more artsy horrors, while it’s the other way around for more mainstream stuff.
4. Scream 7– $8.3M/$106.5M
5. GOAT– $4.7M/$90.5M
6. The Bride!– $2.1M/$11.3M
Amid reports of a $100M budget and huge losses for Warner Bros., Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! dropped 70% in its second week and has just $11.3M stateside. Ouch. Globally, the feminist monster flick has just $21M.
7. Wuthering Heights– $1.6M/$81.9M
8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (re-release)- $1.4M
9. Kiki’s Delivery Service (re-release)- $1.14M
10. Crime 101– $1.13M/$35.5M
Also…Bleecker Street opened Amy Wang’s buzzy high school drama Slanted (review), about a Chinese-American teen who undergoes a procedure to become a white girl, into 588 theaters, earning $617K. [BoxOfficeMojo]
