Info in Movie News | The animated feature Dog Man from DreamWorks Animation held strong at the box office this weekend — and in its second weekend running. The movie competes well against newcomers ‘Love Hurts‘, starring Ke Huy Quan, and ‘Heart Eyes‘, directed by Josh Ruben.
By Monday, February 10, ‘Dog Man’ had reached around $55 million in domestic box office revenues, with another $13 million coming from the weekend alone, per a report by Collider.
Dog Man follows the adventures of it s main character, once Officer Knight and his beloved dog, Greg. Joined by a surgeon after a radical lifesaving procedure, it becomes one entity and gives birth to a new superhero.
The slam dunk of 'Dog Man' reminds me of two other animated features that cracked the code: 'Moana 2' and 'Mufasa: The Lion King'. This ongoing success story is emphasizing that family moviegoers remain an important force in the post-pandemic world of film.
As such, the two new entries this week – Love Hurts and Heart Eyes – both failed to reach double figures in their opening week grosses. Stars Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding and Heart Eyes, from Sony, managed just $8.5 million.
Although the reported production cost was under $20 million, the film received a largely positive audience reception, with an 81 percent rating from the site Rotten Tomatoes.
