Family-friendly movies are off to a promising start at the 2025 box office. DreamWorks Animation’s “Dog Man” opened over the weekend with $36 million in earnings at the domestic box office — making it the biggest movie debut of 2025, per Box Office Mojo.

Dog Man barked plenty loud at the domestic box office over the Jan. 31-Feb. 2 weekend, where it easily topped with chart with $35 million in another resounding win for the family marketplace for a global start of $40.2 million — roughly the same amount that it cost DreamWorks Animation and Universal to make the Captain Underpants spinoff.
