‘How To Train Your Dragon’ Wings In With $198M Global Bow; ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Rises To $858M; ‘Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning’ Cruises Past $500M WW – International Box Office
Universal’s How to Train Your Dragon has set a course for a global box office debut of just over $200M.
A global bow at that level would give Hiccup and Toothless bragging rights to the 4th best worldwide opening of the year so far, behind A Minecraft Movie, Lilo & Stitch and China’s Ne Zha 2. That would make the Gerard Butler-starrer the 4th biggest international box office opener of the year among Hollywood movies (behind Lilo, Minecraft and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning). While not a huge number, it was still good enough for the biggest opening day of a live-action adaptation in the past 5 years, and was in line with Inside Out 2, above Mufasa and more than double Wonka and Sonic 3.
