Released simultaneously in theaters and on the Paramount + streaming service in the United States, the live-action “Clifford – The Red Dog Giant” surprised when it premiered, grossing $ 2.3 million at the box office.

Projections indicate that the feature film is expected to debut with US $ 15-17 million in the first weekend in the country.

For comparison, a few months ago the “Dog Patrol” animation debuted with $ 13 million at the North American box office and performed well on the Paramount + platform, which has already earned the green light for a production suite.

The feature will hit national theaters on December 2.
