Disney Pixar animation "Hophers" ranked No. 1 at the North American box office in the first week of its release, showing the highest box office success of Pixar original works since "Coco."

According to box office mojo, the movie "Hophers" topped the box office with a box office profit of about $46 million (about 68.774 billion won) in the first weekend of its release in North America. In the global market, it also made 88 million dollars (about 131.542 billion won), marking the birth of Disney and Pixar's new original hit.

The performance is further meaningful as it is the highest opening box office record among Pixar's original works since "Coco," which caused a box office syndrome in 2017, and surpasses the North American opening figure of "Elemental," which attracted 7.24 million viewers in Korea. In response, Disney Entertainment Chairman Alan Bergman said, "Hophers is a great original film created by Pixar's amazing team, and I'm very happy to see the audience visiting the theater with friends and family and enjoying the work."

"Hophers" not only recorded a Rotten Tomatoes freshness index of 94%, CGV Golden Egg index of 98%, and CinemaScore A, but also a series of favorable reviews from domestic media, critics, and real-time audiences, heralding an explosive word-of-mouth success in the second week of its release.

Meanwhile, 'Hophers' is an imaginative animal adventure full of Pixar's imagination in which 'Mable', a girl who has become a robot beaver through 'hopping' technology that captures human consciousness in an animal robot, infiltrates the animal world full of surprises and takes unexpected adventures.
