The Dog Stars North America Box Office: Jacob Elordi’s Film Opens At #4, Eyes A Weak $7 Million Debut Weekend

Ridley Scott’s directorial The Dog Stars has been released in theaters. Starring Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin, the film had a rather poor start at the box office. On its opening day, it collected fewer than The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which are in their sixth and fifth weeks, respectively. Scroll ahead for the detailed box office report!

How Much Did The Dog Stars Earn At The Box Office on Day 1?

The Jacob Elordi-starrer earned the #4 spot at the North America box office on Friday. It trailed the collections of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and the newly released Coyote vs Acme. Meanwhile, the Ridley Scott action drama earned just $3 million on Friday from 3,330 screens in the region. As a result, the film is now estimated to wrap its debut weekend with a $7 million total.

Moreover, The Dog Stars received poor critical reviews and a C+ CinemaScore. This is likely to further dampen the film’s chances at the box office, as its competitor, Coyote vs Acme, has opened to rave reviews. In comparison, the latter also opened at #2 at the domestic box office on its opening day and is expected to outpace The Dog Stars in its debut weekend.

Interestingly, The Dog Stars marks Jacob Elordi’s second release of the year. The other movie is Wuthering Heights, which collected $32.8 million on its opening weekend domestically. At the current pace, however, The Dog Stars might not even beat Wuthering Heights at the box office.

What is the film about?

Meanwhile, the film follows Hig, a former civilian pilot, who lives with his dog and hardened ex-Marine Bangley in the ruins of an abandoned airfield after a devastating flu pandemic nearly wipes out humanity.
