Pixar’s latest animated adventure, Hoppers, is proving to have incredible staying power at the multiplex. According to reports from The Washington Post and Boxoffice Pro, the film earned an estimated $12.2 million during its fourth weekend in North American theaters. This steady performance secured the film the number two spot on the domestic charts, trailing only the sci-fi hit Project Hail Mary.

Directed by Daniel Chong, the film follows a young girl who transfers her consciousness into a robotic beaver to infiltrate the animal kingdom. The unique premise continues to resonate with family audiences as the spring season heats up. MyNewsLA.com reports that the movie’s domestic total has now climbed to approximately $138.5 million. Globally, the Disney-backed project is on the verge of a major milestone, with its cumulative gross nearing $298 million.

While Hoppers maintains its momentum, Amazon MGM Studios’ Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling, held onto the top spot for the weekend. However, the consistent numbers for the Pixar release suggest strong word-of-mouth. Industry data from Media Play News indicates that the film’s hold is among the strongest for an original animated property this year, keeping it ahead of several high-profile competitors.
