‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Flies to $198 Million Globally, ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Surpasses $850 Million

"How to Train Your Dragon" is nearing $200 million after its first weekend of release while "Lilo & Stitch" has surpassed the $850 million mark.

Set on the mythical viking village of Berk, the first story follows the adventures of a scrawny misfit teen named Hiccup, who befriends an injured dragon he calls Toothless. Parents with young kids also continued to fill seats for “Lilo & Stitch,” which collected $31.1 million from 52 markets in its fourth frame. However, Paramount spent roughly $400 million on production — and since movie theater owners get to keep about half of ticket sales, “The Final Reckoning” won’t come close to breaking even in its box office run.
