‘How to Train Your Dragon’ makes $83.7 million box office debut to soar past Disney’s ‘Lilo & Stitch’ in battle of live-action remakes

How to train your dragon on a box office trip this week, proving that some reservations still have teeth.
The global adaptation of the live adaptation of the favorite animation concession increased to $ 83.7 million in North America theaters, according to COMSCORE estimates on Sunday. The film, directed by veteran, the veteran dean, follows the unlikely friendship between the young Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) and the engraving called Toothless.
Easily surpassed “How To Your Dragon: The Hidden World”, which opened for $ 55 million. The latest film got more than $ 114.1 million at the international level, thus a total of $ 197.8 million.
“This is another example of a new edition of live works that really offer the promise of marketing,” said Paul Dergarabedian, COMSCORE’s chief analyst at COMSCORE. “I think the length of these films and the ability to play them, especially in the summer, were not less than the miracle.”
“How to Train” also ranked first before “Lilo & Stitch” from Disney, who ranked second after the plans are topped for three weekends. A new version of the hybrid work added another $ 15 million, which prompted its local total, which amounted to $ 386.3 million.
“Materialism”, a love story in a modern New York, starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans, gathered the three best films of the week with $ 12 million. The Romantic Dramamy Johnson as a cunning maker shows an intelligence between two addresses: a broken actor, struggling coincides with her ex -husband, and the wealthy “unicorn” who looks very good.
“The mission: impossible-the final account” slipped to the fourth place, where it won 10.3 million dollars and avoids the decline in a two-digit area.
John Wake Spinov, a “ballet dancer”, fell to fifth with $ 9.4 million, despite strong reviews from critics and fans. Directed by Lin Wazman, the stars of Action Ana De Armas, which features Keanu Reeves, reinforces his role in a supportive turn.
“The ballet dancer” could have a later increase in the line similar to “John Wake” for the year 2014.
“It took some time until this privilege is truly committed,” he said. “I have seen a great flow of attention for the first John Wake when he reached a home video or broadcast, I must say, and I think the same will happen here.”
In sixth place, “Karate Kid: Legends” won $ 5 million, followed by “Bloodlines” in seventh place with $ 3.9 million. The latest “Phoenician Plan” in Wes Anderson in eighth place with $ 3 million. “Hayat Chuck”, based on the story of Stephen King, ninth place with $ 2.1 million.
The first ten positions were “sinners”. Ryan Coogler starred Michael B. Juordan, worth $ 1.4 million – which is impressive because the movie is available to watch it at home through digital platforms online after its release two months ago.
In general, the box office increased by 23 % of this point in 2024.
Dergarabedian said he is looking forward to movies in the coming weeks that could have a positive existence in the box office, such as “Eilo”, “F1”, “Superman” and “28 days”.
