Leave it to beavers: ‘Hoppers’ holds on for a second No. 1 weekend

Hello! Welcome to The Box Office Report for the weekend of March 13-15, 2026.

1. Hoppers

Weekend gross: $28.5M
Total domestic gross: $86.8M
Last weekend: 1st
Percent drop: 37

Hoppers had a terrific second weekend, holding on with just a 37 percent drop. This weekend’s $28.5 million haul puts Hoppers in a great position to easily clear the $100 million mark.

While passing $100 million in North America isn’t a difficult task for a Pixar sequel (Inside Out 2 crushed that mark with its $154.2 million debut alone), it hasn’t been as easy for the studio’s original movies as of late.

Elio topped out at $73 million, Elemental at $154.4 million, Lightyear at $118.3 million and Onward at $61.6 million. (The trio of Luca, Soul and Turning Red never even had a fair shot.) Coco was the last original Pixar movie to reach the $200 million level, finishing with $210.5 million.

2. Reminders of Him

Weekend gross: $18.3M
Total domestic gross: $18.3M
Last weekend: New release
Percent drop: NA

An $18.3 million opening weekend for Reminders of Him isn’t bad, but it’s nowhere near as great as the $50 million that It Ends With Us, another adaptation of a Colleen Hoover book, opened with in 2024. I guess that Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds promotional push really helped It Ends With Us.

3. Undertone

Weekend gross: $9.3M
Total domestic gross: $9.3M
Last weekend: New release
Percent drop: NA

The top five featured two very different horror movies, with Undertone topping Scream 7 in its first weekend in theaters. I read the Wikipedia summary for Undertone, and — yeeeshhhh — I can’t say this is one I’m going to be checking out any time soon. Or ever. But, hey, enough folks saw it this weekend to send it to a No. 3 debut with $9.3 million.

4. Scream 7

Weekend gross: $8.4M
Total domestic gross: $106.5M
Last weekend: 2nd
Percent drop: 51

Scream 7 is less than $2 million away from becoming the biggest domestic hit for the entire franchise. Scream VI topped out at $108.4 million in 2023, and it looks like the latest Scream film will make it back-to-back releases where the newest film set a new high mark.

5. GOAT

Weekend gross: $4.7M
Total domestic gross: $90.6M
Last weekend: 4th
Percent drop: 27

GOAT might not be the main animated feature in theaters right now, but even in the face of Hoppers, the basketball film continues to add to its box office total. With $4.7 million on the books this past weekend, GOAT should cross the $100 million mark over the next weekend or two.
