'Dog Man' Closes In On Peacock Arraignment
This good dog sure went for a good run at the box office, now it’s coming home
DreamWorks Animation’s Dog Man will officially be arriving on Peacock when it was expected to. But that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t still be marked. The NBCUniversal streamer announced the film starring the silent title protagonist, Pete Davidson, and Lil Rel Howery, will arrive on the platform on May 30.
Having opened on January 31, it matches the 120 day window that many of Universal’s 2024 films had no matter their genre, or even their box office. For Dog Man, it impressed earning $143.3 million globally on a $98 million domestic and $45.3 million international gross on a $40 million budget. However, it’s an endurance that other 2025 Universal films arriving on the streamer this month could not sustain. Take Steven Soderbergh’s acclaimed spy thriller Black Bag starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender. That film opened in the United States on March 14 and grossed $38.4 million on a budget of $50–60 million. Its Peacock arrival was Friday, May 2. That’s just a 50 day run, 7 weeks from its opening. The action comedy Love Hurts starring Ke Huy Quan opened a week after Dog Man and will start streaming on Peacock this Friday, May 9 fared far better than Black Bag on its window with a 90-day stay. It barely did not make its $18 million budget back, making $17.6 million.

We are officially less than ten days away from the release of DreamWorks Animation’s final film of a very busy year, The Wild Robot, based on Peter Brown’s #1 New York Times bestselling book, on September 27. No matter what trailer packages it may have from theater chain to theater chain, there was no way it was going to head in without a trailer for th…
Adapted from the bestselling book series by Dav Pilkey, a series born and moved onto from his Captain Underpants series, a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job in a wire-cutting accident, salvaged by a harebrained but life-saving surgery that fuses them together to create Dog Man, sworn to protect and serve… and fetch, sit and roll over. Dog Man embraces his new identity, he becomes a hero to the town. Deep down he seeks the approval of his Chief, voiced by Howery, while also having to foil the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat, voiced by Davidson. Petey’s latest has him cloning himself, resulting in the kitten Lil Petey, for more efficient criminal activity. However, Lil Petey forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man, but soon falls into the clutches of a common enemy. Dog Man and Petey reluctantly join forces in urgency to rescue the young kitten. In the process, they discover the power of family (and kittens!) to bring even the most hostile foes together. Dog Man also stars Isla Fisher as TV reporter Sarah Hatoff; Poppy Liu as Petey’s assistant, Butler; Stephen Root as Grampa; Billy Boyd of The Lord of the Rings as Sarah’s cameraman Seamus, and Ricky Gervais as the supervillainous and revived Flippy the fish.
Peter Hastings directs the film having been the showrunner for The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants and continued to show his grasp on the tone of Pilkey’s franchises. His prior resume includes Pinky and the Brain and Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and The Dragon Knight. Epic Tales ran for 4 seasons, 45 episodes and three specials from 2018 to 2020 on Netflix.
