'How to Train Your Dragon' soars with $197.8 million global box office debut
The animated film How to Train Your Dragon has made a powerful return with an impressive global box office debut of $197.8 million, signaling strong interest in the franchise. The movie performed exceptionally well internationally, showing widespread appeal across different markets. Meanwhile, another release, The Materialists, had a modest start, earning just $12 million globally. Despite its slow performance, it may gain momentum depending on audience reception and word of mouth in the coming weeks. Analysts note that How to Train Your Dragon benefited from strong brand recognition, positive reviews, and family-friendly appeal, making it a box office favorite. In contrast, The Materialists appears to be struggling to capture attention despite a decent cast and marketing push. Overall, the box office weekend was dominated by the animated blockbuster, reaffirming the ongoing popularity of established franchises in the global film market, while new titles face a tougher battle for visibility and success.
