The Bride

Pixar's original animated film Hoppers is set for a $40 million opening weekend in the U.S. and Canada, marking a strong performance for the studio's recent originals. In contrast, Warner Bros' The Bride!, directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, is projecting a disappointing $8 million to $10 million debut despite its $80 million budget. The results highlight differing audience responses to family animation and auteur-driven horror.
