I didn’t expect Hoppers to outpace Inside Out 2. Obviously that had good legs but a 10m+ opening seems like it could be in the cards here
Peg3 still hasn’t dipped below $1m a day now in its 5th week..
What is going on with Goat in the box office? I thought people in China like it? 😞
Disappointing for Goat performance in China while Hoppers looks good for Chinese performance for the weekends performance compared to other Pixar films doing after the pandemic
