DreamWorks Animation looks for Dog Man to top the charts when it debuts January 31st. A spin-off of 2017’s Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, Peter Hastings directs and provides the voice of the title canine. The adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s graphic novel features behind the mic work from Pete Davidson, Lil Rel Howery, Isla Fisher, Poppy Liu, Stephen Root, Billy Boyd, and Ricky Gervais.
In the summer of 2017, Underpants dropped with a $23.9 million premiere. That turned out to be a front loaded opening as it ended up with $73.9 million domestically. That could be right around where Dog sits and that should be enough for a first place showing.
