NEW YORK >> On a quiet winter weekend at the box office, DreamWorks Animation’s “Dog Man” chased its own tail, repeating as the top movie in theaters.

The animated Universal Pictures release, adapted from Dav Pilkey’s popular graphic novel series, collected $13.7 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. Both new releases — the Ke Huy Quan action movie “Love Hurts” and the Valentine’s Day-themed slasher “Heart Eyes” — were left nipping at the heels of “Dog Man.”

Hollywood often largely punts Super Bowl weekend to the small screen. Instead, the movie industry spends more energy pitching its blockbusters in trailers for the huge football audience on TV.
