Box Office Shocker: ‘Dog Man’ Leads The Pack With $10.8M Opening, While ‘Companion’ Surprises In Second!

Hollywood’s latest family-friendly adventure, Dog Man, has marked its territory at the box office, fetching a strong $10.8 million on its opening day, including Thursday previews. The animated adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s bestselling graphic novel series is charming audiences and is expected to dominate the weekend with an estimated $35–40 million debut.

Produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures, Dog Man follows the crime-fighting antics of a half-dog, half-human hero. The film has been praised for its humor and kid-friendly appeal, making it a top pick for families looking for a fun theatrical experience. With positive word-of-mouth and strong audience scores, Dog Man is on track to be a major win for Universal.

Meanwhile, the sci-fi thriller Companion has exceeded expectations by securing the second spot with a $4.1 million opening day. The film, produced by Barbarian director Zach Cregger and released by New Line Cinema, has generated strong buzz for its eerie premise and intense storytelling. While its opening isn’t blockbuster-level, Companion could benefit from solid weekend legs as horror and sci-fi fans spread the word.

Rounding out the top five, Dune: Part Two continues its strong run, adding another $3.8 million to its domestic total, which now nears $275 million. Kung Fu Panda 4 and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire remain steady contenders, pulling in $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

With Dog Man leading the charge and Companion proving to be a dark horse, this weekend’s box office battle is shaping up to be an exciting one. Will Dog Man maintain its lead, or will Companion catch up with a surprise surge? Stay tuned as the numbers roll in!
