Pixar's animated sci-fi comedy Hoppers was leading the domestic box office chart until recently, but that changed with the arrival of Ryan Gosling's epic sci-fi film Project Hail Mary, which quickly grabbed the No. 1 spot following its March 20 theatrical release.

On the other hand, Sony&apos;s animated sports comedy <a href="https://m.dailyhunt.in/news/india/english/koimoi-epaper-koim/goat+north+america+box+office+nears+100m+mark+inches+away+from+beating+disneys+scifi+comedy+meet+the+robinsons-newsid-n705609932" style="text-decoration:none; color:#036C8F;">GOAT</a>, which opened on February 13, continues to hold a spot among the top 10 titles in North America. While both films have earned rave reviews from both critics and moviegoers, Hoppers has taken a clear lead at the domestic box office with $120.2 million, compared to GOAT&apos;s $97.4 million.At the worldwide box office, Hoppers has grossed $242.4 million, currently ranking as the second-highest-grossing release of 2026, and it&apos;s only behind the Chinese sports comedy Pegasus 3 ($599.3 million), according to Box Office Mojo&apos;s yearly chart. In comparison, GOAT ranks as the fifth-highest-grossing title of the year so far with a global total of $174.4 million. Although Hoppers has outperformed GOAT both domestically and worldwide, the key question remains: which one of them has delivered a higher return relative to its budget at this stage?<nh-chunk-delimit />

<head><link rel="icon" href="data:,"></head>GOAT vs. Hoppers - Box Office ComparisonHere&apos;s how the two 2026 animated films have performed so far at the domestic and worldwide box office:GOAT - Box Office Summary<ul><li>North America: $97.4 million</li><li>International: $77 million</li><li>Worldwide: $174.4 million</li></ul>Hoppers - Box Office Summary<ul><li>North America: $120.2 million</li><li>International: $122.2 million</li><li>Worldwide: $242.4 million</li></ul>Earnings-to-Budget ComparisonGOAT was made on a reported production budget of $80-90 million, resulting in an earnings-to-budget ratio of approximately 1.94x-2.18x.In comparison, Hoppers, which was produced on an estimated budget of $150 million, has delivered an earnings-to-budget ratio of around 1.62x.AnalysisBased on the above numbers and calculations, GOAT has delivered better returns than its budget, even with its lower earnings-to-budget multiplier of 1.94x. Since Hoppers was released in theaters a few weeks after GOAT, its remaining theatrical window is longer than GOAT&apos;s. Still, it may be challenging for Hoppers to outperform GOAT in earnings-to-budget performance, mainly because of GOAT&apos;s significantly higher budget. However, the final outcome should become clear in the coming weeks.<nh-chunk-delimit />
