The Cat in the Hat is an upcoming animated fantasy movie based on the 1957 book by Dr Seuss. It is being distributed by Warner Bros Pictures, which will finally give it a solid opening weekend at the North American box office. However, based on the early estimates, the film will not beat the domestic debut gross of another Dr. Seuss adaptation, The Grinch. Keep scrolling for the film’s opening weekend projection at the North American box office.

The animated feature, directed by Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja, is the second film based on the book of the same name, following the 2003 live-action film. Bill Hader voices the titular character alongside Matt Berry, Quinta Brunson, Xochitl Gomez, Tiago Martinez, Giancarlo Esposito, and America Ferrera in other characters’ roles.

The film still has almost a month before release, and the early estimates are encouraging. According to Box Office Pro‘s latest report, The Cat in the Hat is tracking to earn between $40 million and $50 million on its opening weekend at the North American box office. If it lands within this range, then Warner Bros Pictures will finally have its first $40 million opener of 2026. Digger was the studio’s latest release, and it conjured $8 million only in its opening weekend.
