It jumped to the top.
“Hoppers” was No. 1 at the box office on its opener Friday, raking in $13.2 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
The Post praised the animated sci-fi comedy, saying, “What separates ‘Hoppers’ from the pack of recent Pix flix, which have been wholesome as a church bake sale, is its comic irreverence.”
Staying in second was “Scream 7,” raking in over $5 million.
The slasher flick, which opened last Friday, had the highest domestic debut in the 30-year-old movie franchise’s history at $63.6 million.
Another horror film, “The Bride!” was in third, with $3 million in sales on its opener Friday.
The Post’s entertainment critic Johnny Oleksinski called it “one of the absolute worst movies I have had the displeasure of watching in this job.”
In fourth place was the animated sports comedy “GOAT,” with $1.5 million in revenue.
“Wuthering Heights” moved down two notches to fifth, earning in $1.2 million on its fourth Friday in theaters.
