Where It Ranks Among Pixar’s Last 5 Wide Theatrical Releases

Published by Webster

Hoppers Box Office (Photo Credit: Instagram) Daniel Chong’s latest directorial effort, Hoppers, is on the verge of completing two months in theaters. After opening to an impressive $45.3 million in North America, Pixar’s latest animated release, Hoppers, has now grossed $164.8 million domestically. In doing that, the sci-fi comedy is now miles ahead of Sony’s animated sports comedy GOAT ($103.3 million) by a significant margin of $61.5 million at the domestic box office. At the worldwide box office, Hoppers has earned $375.7 million so far and has a significant lead of around $185.3 million over GOAT’s $190.4 million global haul, as per The Numbers. Since the Pixar film was made on an estimated $150 million budget, it needed to earn $375 million globally to break even at the box office, based on the commonly used 2.5x multiplier rule. This suggests that it has already generated a $0.7 million theatrical surplus over its estimated break-even point.

At SG and SS, two main bat makers, try to achieve the Perfect 10 willow score for the batting stars. MS Dhoni Weight: 1,120 grams Among the top cricketers he is the one who asks for the least number of bats. He asks two kinds of bats that have different weights. He uses the heavier one, that has 30 grams extra in the middle, to hit big sixes in the slog overs. Chennai Super Kings’ Mahendra Singh Dhoni bats in the nets. (Photo: PTI) Tilak Varma Weight: 1,140 grams He uses a lighter bat to play sweeps and reverse sweeps against spinners and counter-attack the pacers. The sweet spot of his bat is lower down. This is because he mostly plays white-ball where the pitches don’t have much bounce. Abhishek Sharma Weight: 1,180 grams The spine of Sharma’s bat is much lower and so …

3 min readMumbaiMar 26, 2026 09:24 AM IST When Yuvraj Singh landed at the airport after the 2014 T20 World Cup final loss to Sri Lanka, he was abused. Soon, stones were thrown at his home. “I felt like I was a villain, a culprit, like somebody had shot somebody and was going to jail. I still remember how I felt in that moment,” he would recall years later. A close game was lost. Yuvraj, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni couldn’t finish. The reason was a delivery. *** Lasith Malinga kept firing yorkers well outside off stump. Yuvraj kept toe-ending them. Then came Nuwan Kulasekara, who came closest to the modern avatar of that ball. His deliveries skimmed the wide line, especially after he took out Yuvraj with a wide full toss that sank into long-off’s palms. He began pinging that line to Kohli and Dhoni. Both tried to reach out and drag it to the on-side. Neither could. When they sliced it, a deep backward point and third man ensured there was just a …

ICC T20 World Cup: New Zealand bowlers falter on wide line as Indians make merry | Cricket News

3 min readChennaiMar 8, 2026 08:59 PM IST Right through this T20 World Cup, New Zealand had done something extraordinary. Rather their spinners. Sans any mystery in them, the finger-spinners relied on other variations and key among them has been the wide line outside off-stump. Often delivered with slow pace, they have made batsmen reach out to them and has invariably provided them with wickets. It is a line that batsmen around the world are least prepared for. On Sunday, having made quite a few tactical errors, New Zealand’s quicks too experienced how hard that line is. As former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath revealed last week to this newspaper, it is not an easy line to bowl because the margin of error is so thin. For a large period when Abhishek Sharma went about launching himself for the first time this T20 World Cup, the pacers tried this line. They would stock up the off-side field and open large vacant spaces on the leg-side. The idea was good, but the execution wasn’t. Matt Henry, Lockie …

‘You’ve got to train the way you mean to play’ Glenn McGrath explains why Arshdeep Singh’s wide yorkers worked

‘You’ve got to train the way you mean to play’ Glenn McGrath explains why Arshdeep Singh’s wide yorkers worked

Published by Webster

You could see Arshdeep Singh’s plan from the distance. As India struggled to stop the onslaught of Jacob Bethell and Will Jacks — before Jasprit Bumrah delivered the game-changing over — Arshdeep tried another way to arrest the flow. Make the left-arm seamer bowl wide yorkers. It’s a ploy that yielded results. And showed why it isn’t an easy skill to execute, whether there’s dew or not. First, the success part. On a night where Bethell swung anything in the arc, Arshdeep was the first to make him reach for deliveries by bowling wide yorkers. After being hit for a boundary off the first ball of the 14th over, Arshdeep delivered eight balls — including three successive wides to Jacks — that all landed on yorker length or ended up as low full tosses. For the first time that night, neither Bethell nor Jacks had a Plan B. Both have the switch-hits, the scoops, the jab. But against the wide yorkers, they either tried to put bat on ball for a single or two, or …
