This weekend at the box office, it wasn’t The Bride! <\/em>rising from the dead, but Pixar.<\/p>\n
The famed animation house’s latest effort, the woodlands rebellion flick Hoppers<\/em>, scored the studio’s best open in years with a $46 million domestic premiere gross and $88 million abroad, per Comscore.<\/p>\n
Outside of Inside Out 2<\/em>‘s gargantuan $154 million open back in 2024 leading to a record-breaking $653 million run at the domestic box office, the Disney subsidiary has been smarting from a string of uncontested flops, from Soul <\/em>not even scraping past $1 million in 2024 to Elio<\/em>‘s deflating lifetime gross of $72 million last year.<\/p>\n
The success of the latest effort featuring the voices of Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, and more spells good news for Pixar. But it was not a weekend of good news for every studio, as Warner Bros. learned when its big arthouse effort, The Bride!<\/em>, seriously failed to launch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nThe rollicking Bride of Frankenstein <\/em>revision from director Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring Jessie Buckley barely made it off the operating table with a $7.2 domestic premiere and $13.5 million abroad. Those figures disappoint on a number of levels. Most glaringly, The Bride! <\/em>was budgeted at an astonishing $80-90 million, a number made even more perplexing when factoring in the performance of Gyllenhaal’s last film, the literary adaptation The Lost Daughter<\/em>. Distributor Netflix gave that film a limited release before it hit streaming, where it recouped less than a million of its meager $5 million budget.<\/p>\n
Second, The Bride! <\/em>was the beneficiary of an ample marketing and publicity campaign, costs that are not factored into that $80-90 million estimate. That means the film lost even more for Warners amid its likely final days before being acquired by Paramount. The film’s failure also breaks a long winning streak for the studio that includes Barbie<\/em>, A Minecraft Movie<\/em>, Superman<\/em>, and more.<\/p>\n
Warners’ potential new owner fared well at the box office this weekend, as Scream 7 <\/em>continued to add its coffers with a $17.3 million domestic take in week two and $32.9 million globally. That haul placed it at the No. 2 spot on both leaderboards, proving that its franchise-best premiere last weekend wasn’t a one-off.<\/p>\n
At the Nos. 4 and 5 spots domestically, respectively, the animated sports comedy GOAT <\/em>and brooding romantic drama Wuthering Heights <\/em>continued to do good business in their fourth weeks of release. GOAT<\/em>‘s $6.6 million this week puts it at $83.8 domestically overall, while Wuthering Heights<\/em>‘ $8.7 million puts it at $78.7 million.<\/p>\n
It’s never easy competing with a strong Pixar film at the box office, especially after parents hear that its strong premiere suggests its a worthy trip for the kids. But next weekend, two very different films will vie for the box office gold with Hoppers<\/em>. The first is Undertone<\/em>, the latest horror flick from A24, focused on a pair of paranormal podcasters who become haunted by a set of mysterious recordings. The second is Reminders of Him<\/em>, another adaptation from It Ends With Us<\/em> scribe Colleen Hoover’s vast archive, starring Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers.<\/p>\n
