Despite star power from Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin, the film failed to resonate with audiences, continuing a trend of mixed results for Scott post‑The Martian and underscoring Elordi’s still‑emerging draw rather than a proven box‑office magnet.

The Dog Stars Drops at the Box Office as Budget, Buzz, and Star Power Fail to Align

Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars opened to about $19.3 million globally ($8M domestic, $11.3M international) on a reported $70–110 million budget, but failed to gain traction amid mixed reviews (40% on Rotten Tomatoes, 71% audience, and a C+ CinemaScore).

Universal becomes the first studio in 2026 to reach $3 billion overseas, powered by Nolan's Odyssey (now about $3B overseas, $4B worldwide YTD) and Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s continued global dominance with a $66.2M weekend and a $2.33B worldwide total (international $1.44B, domestic $891.5M). Odyssey sits at $1.55B globally (international $988.7M, domestic $563.8M). Dog Stars opened to $19.3M globally ($8M domestic, $11.3M international) with no China release, while Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie added $12.7M this weekend for $124.6M worldwide. The results underscore Universal’s overseas milestone even as Dog Stars underperforms.
