LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / August 28, 2020 /
Some of the greatest and most memorable movies of all time star cute and courageous canines as their leading roles. But who is the world’s most-loved dog in movie history? And which dog was the most profitable of all?
To find out, Dog Friendly Cottages conducted a study of all dog movies released in the last 30 years, which found that:
As you can see from the table, Dug scored an impressive 18 out of 20 on the People’s rating. This, combined with the film’s $677,250,109 gross profit (adjusted for inflation), puts Dug miles ahead of all the other famous movie star pooches from the last 30 years.
The People’s Favourite Dog From the Movies
As well as being Hollywood’s Top Dog, our study also revealed that Dug from Up is the world’s favourite canine movie star! This was based on a combined score of both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes ratings.
The Most Profitable Hollywood Dog
As you can see from the table below, Max and Co from The Secret Life Of Pets holds number one spot for the most profitable Dog in Hollywood. The loving and charming jack russell Max first hit our screens in 2016 when the film was first released, and grossed an impressive total of just over $800 million in profit. Now, taking inflation into account, this would equate to a whopping $868,227,042!
The Most Popular Breeds in Hollywood
As you can see, mixed breeds appear to be a firm favourite in the movie industry, with lovable dogs such as Max from the Grinch and Pooka from Anastasia fitting into this category. Another popular breed in Hollywood is jack russel, with films such as Hotel for Dogs, the Mask and Babe: Pig in the City starring them as lead roles.
So if your dog happens to be any of these breeds.. Maybe he or she has a shot of making it onto the big screen!
