With better-than-expected weekend ticket sales, the film became the third live-action, PG-rated blockbuster in three months.
Kathmandu, According to box office analysts, Universal’s live action of “How To Train Your Dragon” is estimated to earn $83 millions at North American Theaters between Sunday and Monday. Analysts had predicted that the film would sell closer to $70 million based on advance ticket sales and surveys that measure moviegoer interest. The story of the movie revolves around a young viking and his winged sidekick, Toothless.
The PG-rated film, which required at least $250 million to produce and promote, was expected to earn an extra $118 million abroad, bringing its total opening-weekend earnings to about $201 million worldwide. The majority of reviews were favorable.
“How to Train Your Dragon” is expected to accomplish more than just resurrect a theatrical franchise that has lain dormant since 2019 for Universal and its parent company, NBCUniversal. At the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, the characters play a significant role in an ambitious development. Additionally, NBCUniversal has been working to expand “How to Train Your Dragon” into a consumer goods company.
To put it another way, families cooperated since the new film needed to have a huge opening weekend ticket sales.
Suddenly, the film industry has been supported by live-action PG films. Warner Bros.’ April release of “A Minecraft Movie” has sold an incredible $952 million in tickets globally. Since its release late last month, Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” remake has earned almost $800 million.
