Dog Man Expected to Top Weekend Box Office with $35 Million

This weekend, Universal's 'Dog Man' is projected to debut at the top of the box office with an estimated $35 million, outperforming other new releases like 'Companion,' which is expected to earn around $10 million. Based on the popular graphic novel series by Dav Pilkey, 'Dog Man' has received positive reviews and a strong A grade from CinemaScore, indicating favorable audience reception. The film features a voice cast that includes Pete Davidson and Isla Fisher and is produced with a budget of $40 million. In contrast, 'Companion,' a horror thriller, has garnered positive reviews as well, potentially positioning it for profitability despite its smaller $10 million budget. Other films in the box office rankings include Disney’s 'Mufasa: The Lion King' and Mel Gibson's 'Flight Risk,' both of which are experiencing declines from previous weekends. Overall, the box office is showing signs of a revival with family-friendly options leading the way.
