The Hollywood animated film Hoppers has completed its first week in Indian theatres with modest box office numbers.
Directed by Daniel Chong, the film collected approximately ₹3.75 crore gross during its opening week in India.
Opening Weekend Shows Initial Growth
The animated movie started its run with around ₹45 lakh on Day 1. It witnessed a strong jump on its second day, earning nearly ₹1.20 crore, followed by about ₹1.10 crore on Day 3.
This brought the film’s opening weekend total to roughly ₹2.75 crore gross in India.
Weekday Drop Limits First Week Total
After the weekend boost, the film experienced a noticeable drop in collections during the weekdays.
From Monday to Thursday, the movie added only about ₹1 crore to its total, bringing the overall first-week earnings to around ₹3.75 crore gross.
While the numbers are relatively modest, the performance is considered reasonable for an animated film that is not part of a major franchise.
Competition From Upcoming Bollywood Release
The film now faces strong competition from the upcoming release Dhurandhar: The Revenge starring Ranveer Singh.
Industry observers believe that before the big Bollywood release hits cinemas, Hoppers may try to push its total towards ₹6–7 crore gross.
Its final box office run could eventually land somewhere near the ₹9–10 crore mark, depending on how it performs in the coming weeks.
