ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Sunday, August 16, 2026:

PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie opened in fourth place in the Box Office charts, and has so far made $20.5M.

  • 4. Paw Patrol: Dino Movie (Par) 3,545 theaters, Fri $7.35M Sat $7.35N Sun $5.8M 3-day $20.5M/Wk 1


Paramount/Spin Master’s PG-rated Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie overperformed at $20.5M and Warner Bros/Bad Robot’s The End of Oak Street came right around where NRG predicted at $21M.

That’s the second best opening in the Paw Patrol franchise after 2023’s Paw Patrol: The Mighty which debuted to $22.7M. Dino Movie received a second solid A for Paw Patrol after The Mighty. The 2021 Paw Patrol movie received an A- (puppies can’t always be perfect). Dino Movie also had a good 63% definite recommend for Dino Movie in Rentrak/Screen Engine PostTrak exits. The Mighty did a 2.87x multiple off its opening ending its U.S./Canada run at $65.3M. Dino Movie over performed in the South, South Central and Midwest with great playability in the middle of the country.

Typically, some of these kid franchises run a five-to-seven lifecycle before fading, but the preschool puppy IP has been strong for 13 years (this being Paramount’s third feature film with Spin Master) with renewed engagement on TV and streaming, merchandise sales, and live events. Jennifer Dodge, Paramount’s President of Animation, is behind this. She worked previously at Paw Patrol studio Spin Master, building out its entertainment division, and overseeing the franchise’s evolution from creative to toy line to now.

Paw Patrol: Dino Movie is more family friendly than End of Oak Street (hello, it’s about a family and they’re chased by dinosaurs, just like in Jurassic World), pulling in 50% parents, 36% kids under 12 and 14% general audiences.

Per PostTrak, Oak Street‘s inhabitants were 10% kids under 12 with 17% family adult. Diversity demos on Dino Movie was 43% Caucasian, 29% Latino and Hispanic, 14% Black, 8% Native American and other, and 6% Asian American.

The End of Oak Street landed a B CinemaScore, which is just under the B+ of August Warner PG-13 hit The Meg which debuted to $45.4M. Oak Street was tracking heavy with women because of the Anne Hathaway factor, but women over 25 were the second biggest to attend at 28% after men over 25 at 45%, followed by men under 25 at 14% and women under 25 at 13%. A meh 51% definite recommend overall for Oak Street. Diversity demos were 48% Caucasian, 24% Latino and Hispanic, 13% Black, 10% Asian American and 5% Native American and other.

Paw Patrol Dino Movie has no PLFs, while Oak Street has a mix of Imax and PLFs accounting for close to 15% of the weekend. Of that Imax repped close to 7% of the Hathaway-McGregor pic’s frame.

For Dino Movie, the highest grossing theater is the Cinemark in North Canton, Ohio with just over $24K through Saturday. Oak Street‘s biggest house is the AMC in Burbank, CA with close to $80K.

Saturday, August 15, 2026:

Per Deadline:

At a time when everyone is going back to school (K-12 were 51% off yesterday), the family audience is split this weekend, with some going to Spider-Man, and others going to one of two dinosaur movies: Paramount/Spin Master’s PG-rated Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, which looks like it’s overperforming at $20M or Warner Bros/Bad Robot’sThe End of Oak Street which believes it has a path to $20M (though some saw it’s under that). The pre-schooler Dino Movie settled for $7.35M on Friday at 3,545 theaters and an A CinemaScore, while The End of Oak Street, was $8.1M at 3,446 sites after a B CinemaScore (that’s just under the B+ of August Warner PG-13 hit The Meg which debuted to $45.4M).

It’s the second solid A for Paw Patrol after 2023’s The Mighty sequel. The 2021 Paw Patrol movie received an A- (puppies can’t always be perfect). A good 63% definite recommend for Dino Movie in Rentrak/Screen Engine PostTrak exits.

It’s already banked $25M overseas from 30 territories and should do in the mid- to high-teens this weekend at 3,500 sites.

‘Lioness’ Season 3 Premiere Reaches 7.1 Million Viewers

The Paramount+ original delivered a bigger premiere than Season 2 while building momentum with audiences in the U.S. and Europe.

The third season of the hit Paramount+ espionage thriller from Taylor Sheridan drew 7.1 million viewers in its first seven days of streaming, according to Paramount internal data. The strong start puts the Sunday, August 2 premiere significantly ahead of the audience for the Season 2 debut in 2024, marking an impressive return for the series.

According to preliminary Nielsen data, Lioness ranked as the No. 2 most-watched streaming original series in the U.S. during the week of Sunday, August 2 – Saturday, August 8. The series also generated strong conversation across social platforms, ranking as the No. 1 buzziest streaming drama from August 2–4 and driving 6.9 million social media views, according to Social Content Ratings.

And the momentum is global. On SkyShowtime in Europe, the Season 3 premiere outperformed the premieres of both previous seasons and is tracking to become one of the service’s top five returning premieres ever, according to internal SkyShowtime data.

The performance adds another chapter to a strong year for Paramount+. In March, the first season of The Madison reached 8 million views in 10 days, followed by the debut of Dutton Ranch in May, which drew 12.9 million views in seven days.

Led by Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman, Lioness returns to the high-stakes world of covert operations while pushing its characters into increasingly personal territory.


This season finds Joe (Saldaña) navigating an increasingly blurred line between her duty and her life at home as threats begin closing in from unexpected directions. With Kaitlyn (Kidman) and Westfield (Michael Kelly) guiding her, Joe faces adversaries operating in the shadows, and a conflict that is reaching deeper into every part of her world.

Season 3 of Lioness is streaming now on Paramount+.

Paramount’s Dino-Sized Mission to Help Kids Discover Their Own Superpowers

The PAW Patrol is taking on a rescue mission unlike any they have encountered before in PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, playing now exclusively in theaters. In the film, the PAW Patrol land on a mysterious dinosaur island after a storm where they meet Rex, a stranded pup. When Humdinger's reckless mining triggers a volcano, the team must band together to save the island, kicking off their biggest rescue mission yet.

But beyond dinosaurs, adventure, and big-screen action, the film also opens the door to another kind of mission: helping kids recognize their own ability to be brave, persevere, and make a difference. At the heart of the story is a message especially meaningful for families with kids ages 2-9 years old: even when a challenge feels enormous, you can keep going.

Inspired by Marshall’s storyline, Paramount and Nickelodeon extended that message beyond the screen through a social impact campaign designed to give families resources to help kids build confidence and resilience.

A Dino-Sized Adventure with a Lasting Message

The campaign builds on Nickelodeon’s existing Our World initiative, which launched in 2023 as a global initiative to inspire kids and provide them with tools to make a positive change in their communities and beyond. Together with Afterschool Alliance, Ashoka, Association of Children’s Museums, Boys and Girls Clubs of America Inc., Jack and Jill of America, Team Impact, and UNICEF USA, the partner organizations reach more than 20 million kids and families. With PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, that mission comes to life through resources families can use to help a child navigate a challenge, recognize their strengths or take positive action. Custom print materials, digital content, and an online resource hub page, encourage families to access these practical tools designed to turn the movie’s themes into everyday moments of empowerment.

  • Conversation Starters offer sample questions parents can ask after the movie to spark empowering dialogue with their kids.
  • A Dino-Sized Mission Kit provides parents with interactive activities that help kids build skills like imagination, resilience, and teamwork while having fun with their friends and family.
  • A PAW Patrol-themed set of Dino-Mite Tips to Build Confidence and encourage kids to find their roar.

Together, the resources center on a simple idea: the lessons kids saw their favorite pups put into action on screen can become tools for navigating their own world.

Bringing the Mission into Communities

The campaign also created opportunities for families to experience those messages together in the real world. Through a partnership with the Association of Children’s Museums, PAW Patrol costume characters visited children’s museums in Dallas, LA, Miami, NYC and Salt Lake City, and offered families movie-themed takeaway materials featuring Our World resources focused on kids empowerment. Children’s museums across the country are invited to further activate using the Dino-Sized Mission Kit to engage kids and families on Worldwide Day of Play powered by Nickelodeon Our World on September 26, 2026.

Families got into the prehistoric spirit with the EGG-cellent dino photo opp at the LA Premiere of the film and Family Day screening. Kids struck a "hero pose" with empowerment props featuring messages including "I can make a difference," "I never give up," and "My voice matters," and received printed resource cards with valuable tips from the Our World campaign. This playful activation, inspired by the movie's dino-sized adventure, gave families another memorable way to engage with the world of PAW Patrol.

Families were also given Our World resource cards and invited to check out the campaign at family day screenings taking place in 29 cities across the country the weekend before release.

These experiences met kids where they were through characters they love, imaginative play and memorable moments shared with their families.

Saving a dinosaur island may have been a job for the PAW Patrol. But being brave, trying again after a setback, speaking up and helping your community? Those are missions every kid can take on.
