New York – “Dog Man” of Dreamworks Animation received $ 36 million in ticket sales at the weekend box office, on Sunday, according to studio estimates, this is the biggest start in 2025 so far.
This was a major opening for the release of Universal Pictures Customized Graffic novel Series by author Dave Pilky. The big-screen launch for cartoon canine was produced for a modest $ 40 million, meaning that it would easily be the coast through a profitable run. The audience gave it a “A” cinemaskor.
Earlier a better January was launched before an animated film: 2016 “Kung Fu Panda 3.” “Dog Man,”, though, was soft abroad, collecting $ 4.2 million from 29 international markets. The Voice Cast of Peter Hastings-directed film is led by Pete Davidson, Lill Riley Havri and Isla Fisher.
According to data firm Comskor, last year family films took 33% of $ 2.9 billion with PG-lined films at the box office, or 33% of all ticket revenue. So far, they are also picking up 2025. Walt Disney Company’s December release “Mufasa: The Lion King” topped the weekend box office three times in January. In its seventh week of release, “Mufasa” held third place with $ 6.1 million, leading to its global tally to $ 653 million.
Paul Dergrabedian, a senior media analyst from Comskor, said, “The wave of the PG animation family which was’ prevalent in24 in24 in 24.”
The horror comedy “partner” from Warner Brothers and New Line was also well opened in 3,285 locations with $ 9.5 million. In the near future, Drew Hancock’s Science-Fi Ting film Set is about a group of friends on a weekend Lakeside GateAway.
“Companiyan” starring Sophie Thatcher (“Heritic”) was mildly marketed and built for only $ 10 million. This will depend on glossy reviews (94% fresh on rotten tomatoes) and strong words (a “B+” cinemaskore) to keep drawing movies in the coming weeks.
Last week’s top film, Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk”, fell a lot in its second weekend. The action thriller starring Mark Wahlberg fell to the fifth position with $ 5.6 million. Domestic, it has collected $ 20.9 million for Lionsgate.
One of the early years of standout successes, Soni Pictures “has been a day”, which is an R-rated comedy starring KK Palmer and SZA. Although there has been a difficult time of comedy in theaters in recent years, “one of them” has proved an exception. The well-survived film earned $ 5.6 million over the weekend, raising its three-week total to $ 34.5 million-a stellar results for a film that cost $ 14 million to create.
Final domestic figures will be released Monday. According to Comskore, approximate ticket sales for Friday in US and Canadian theaters through Sunday:
1. “Dog Man,” $ 36 million.
2. “Partner,” $ 9.5 million.
3. “Mufasa,” $ 6.1 million.
