\n\tDisney and Pixar\u2019s animal adventure \u201cHoppers<\/a>\u201d is holding strong in its second weekend, but it was Universal\u2019s teary romance \u201cReminders of Him<\/a>\u201d that took the top spot on Friday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cReminders of Him,\u201d the third big-screen adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel, grossed $8 million on Friday from 3,402 North American locations. The domestic total is expected to hit $19 million by Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom director Vanessa Caswill, \u201cReminders of Him\u201d follows Maika Monroe as Kenna, a woman who is desperate to rebuild a life with her daughter after a stint in jail. Other cast members include Bradley Whitford, Tyriq Withers, Lauren Graham, Jennifer Robertson and Rudy Pankow.<\/p>\n

\n\tHoover looks to extend her box office winning streak with \u201cReminders of Him\u201d after her last two books hit big with their respective cinematic adaptations. In 2024, Sony and Wayfarer Studios brought her 2016 novel \u201cIt Ends With Us\u201d to the big screen and struck gold with $351 million worldwide. Paramount then adapted her novel \u201cRegretting You\u201d in the fall of 2025, earning a solid $90 million worldwide from a $30 million production budget.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHoppers\u201d landed at No. 2 with $7.1 million on Friday and is projected to earn around $30 million domestically by Sunday. That represents a stellar 34% decline from last week\u2019s earnings. The North American total is expected to reach $86 million by the end of the weekend.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHoppers\u201d ended an almost decade-long losing streak for Pixar after it posted the best opening weekend<\/a> for an original title since 2017\u2019s \u201cCoco.\u201d While cashing in big on sequels like \u201cInside Out 2,\u201d the legendary animator has struggled to launch original IP up until now. Films like 2025\u2019s \u201cElio\u201d and 2020\u2019s \u201cOnward\u201d failed to stick around long enough in theaters to justify their pricey production costs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThird place on Friday went to A24\u2019s newcomer \u201cUndertone,\u201d which earned an estimated $4.3 million domestically from 2,570 locations. The indie horror should earn $10 million by Sunday. From writer-director Ian Tuason, \u201cUndertone\u201d follows Nina Kiri as a paranormal podcaster who becomes haunted by ghostly recordings. Other cast members include Adam DiMarco, Mich\u00e8le Duquet, Keana Lyn Bastidas, Jeff Yung and Ryan Turner.<\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the Friday top five were \u201cScream 7\u201d and \u201cGOAT.\u201d \u201cScream 7\u201d took fourth with $2.6 million. The legacy horror sequel should pull in $8.4 million by Sunday, pushing its North American earnings to $106 million. \u201cGOAT\u201d landed in fifth with $1.2 million on Friday. The family film is expected to earn $4.7 million by Sunday for a domestic total of $90.5 million<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disney and Pixar\u2019s animal adventure \u201cHoppers\u201d is holding strong in its second weekend, but it was Universal\u2019s teary…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":826363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3935],"tags":[77,232796,3943,237419,16,15],"class_list":["post-826362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-hoppers","tag-movies","tag-reminders-of-him","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116230450476306579","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=826362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/826363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=826362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=826362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=826362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
