What the Numbers Tell Us
The film opened on Rs. 45 lakh on Day 1, gathered momentum through its debut weekend to reach Rs. 2.75 crore, and then added Rs. 1 crore across the weekdays of week one — landing at Rs. 3.75 crore for its opening week. That’s a decent but modest start for a Hollywood animated release in India, where the genre typically relies on strong family word-of-mouth to sustain its run.
What’s genuinely encouraging is the second weekend hold. A 10% drop between weekends is excellent for any film — animated, live-action, Hollywood or Indian. It tells you that the audience who saw it liked it enough to keep recommending it, and fresh family audiences continued to trickle in. Sunday in week two delivered Rs. 1.15 crore — the best single day in the second weekend, which is a good sign.
Hoppers : Challenges in the Market
Here’s where it gets bittersweet. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, Ranveer Singh’s massive sequel, begins its theatrical run with Wednesday previews — which means Hoppers is staring down one of the biggest Bollywood releases of the year just as it was finding its stride. The screen count will shrink dramatically, and Hoppers is expected to wrap its theatrical journey at approximately Rs. 7.25 to Rs. 7.50 crore by end of week two.
Had it been given one more competition-free week, analysts suggest the film could comfortably have touched the Rs. 10 crore gross mark in India. The timing just wasn’t in its favour.
The voice cast of Hoppers features Dave Franco, Meryl Streep, Jon Hamm, Bobby Moynihan, Vanessa Bayer, Kathy Najimy and others. The story follows Mabel Tanaka — an animal lover who discovers that human consciousness can be transferred into robotic animals, using this technology to uncover hidden truths, only to later confront the consequences of her choices. It’s classic Pixar territory: emotionally grounded, visually playful, and deceptively thoughtful.
