When selling a movie about raunchy talking dogs, it helps to have some star power to get moviegoers into seats.
And “Strays,” which opened Friday, has it — at least on the screen.
“Strays,” which had a budget of $46 million, is one of four movies that opened widely across the country this weekend.
(The studio’s previous R-rated comedy that paired raunchy material with family-friendly characters, “Good Boys,” opened in 2019 to $21 million.
“Cocaine Bear,” also from Universal, had a far more robust opening, $23 million, back in February.)
