variety.comRebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s canine crime adventure “Dog Man” sniffed and scratched its way to No.
1 at the domestic box office for the second consecutive weekend. Meanwhile two newcomers, Universal’s action comedy “Love Hurts” and Sony’s gory slasher “Heart Eyes,” mostly settled for scraps in this quiet Super Bowl stretch. “Dog Man,” a family film about a police officer who becomes surgically fused to his faithful pup after getting injured on the job, collected $13.7 million from 3,887 North American theaters over the weekend.
Those ticket sales, down 62% from its $36 million debut, were behind the second-weekend projections of $19 million to $22 million.
