0:00On April 6, Disney and Pixar's Hoppers just smashed past $500 million worldwide, hitting $512.5 million total. That puts it at the top of all Hollywood films this year, even though a Chinese flake called Pegasus 3 leads globally with $609 million. In its fifth weekend, the movie grabbed $5.8 million domestically, pushing North American earnings to $149.6 million. Overseas markets carried the load with $362.9 million, over 70% of the haul, showing real international legs. Despite a typical drop from new family bought busters, fans and families are loving it, with positive buzz since its March 6, the U.S. debut, after a February L.A. premiere. The voice cast brings heat. John Ham leads alongside Piper Curtis, Bobby Moynihan, Kathy Najami, and Dave Franco drawing crowds to theaters amid a, busier slate. Directed by Daniel Chung, Hoppers follows a college student who jumps her mind into a robotic beaver to talk with animals and fight for their homes.
