The live-action remake How to Train Your Dragon is set to cross the OG animated movie’s domestic haul this upcoming weekend. It will then become the highest-grossing film in the franchise, continuing its glorious run at the box office. The fantasy film has accumulated over $456.08 worldwide and is still earning strong numbers. Keep scrolling for more.
The OG film was released in 2010, and its success led to two sequels. The remake surpassed the Chinese haul of Lilo & Stitch as one of the highest-grossing live-action Hollywood remakes in the post-pandemic era. This weekend, the live-action movie also outpaced Mission: Impossible 8 at the domestic box office while hitting the $200 million milestone. It is the fifth film of the year to cross this milestone in North America.
How much has the film earned so far at the North American box office?
How to Train Your Dragon firmly holds its ground in its home country. It remained at the top rank since its release, losing it to F1 this weekend.
