Box Office: ‘Dog Man’ Makes $1.36 Million in Previews
variety.comJordan Moreau Watch out, “Wolf Man” and “Better Man,” because the box office is about to be taken over by “Dog Man.” Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s new movie has made $1.36 million at the box office in Thursday previews.
It’s expected to make between $25 million to $30 million, though some predictions are as high as $40 million due to the demand for family fare.
Set in the kid-friendly world of “Captain Underpants,” “Dog Man” is written and directed by Peter Hastings and follows the adventures of the titular half dog, half police officer who fights crime.
While Dog Man himself doesn’t speak, the voice cast is made up of Pete Davidson as Petey the cat, Dog Man’s feline nemesis; Lucas Hopkins as Li’l Petey, Dog Man’s sidekick; Lil Rel Howery as the police chief named Chief; Isla Fisher; Billy Boyd; Ricky Gervais; Stephen Root; Poppy Liu; Laraine Newman; Cheri Oteri; Melissa Villaseñor and more.
