DreamWorks Animation's “Dog Man” fetched $36 million in ticket sales at the weekend box office, making it the biggest debut yet in 2025.

DreamWorks' 'Dog Man,' an animated adaptation of Dav Pilkey's hit book series, is opening on top of the box office.

Without the same level of brand recognition, Dog Man couldn't quite put up opening weekend numbers that matched with Mike Mitchell's Kung Fu Panda 4 (which was Dreamworks Animation's biggest hit in 2024), but the new title has basically matched the performance of Chris Sanders' The Wild Robot from last fall, and that puts it on very good footing.
