Disney has made a role in the role of the cottage by taking its animated classics and transmits them to a new generation in live films. Although you may experience some wrong fires on the road, Disney made more than $ 7 billion in box office with these remake Only from 2010 to 2019. Hence, it was just a matter of time before other study began to do something similar. It brings us to this year's remake "How to Train Your Dragon" by DreamWorks and Universal, which seems to be a very faithful processing of the animated favorite in 2010. The question is, can Universal successfully perform this play from Disney Playbook?

Directed by Dean Unbloyis, who co-has shot the original animated film, "How to Train Your Dragon" is currently expected to step down between $ 67 and $ 77 million at home when opening next weekend, after Box office theory. It will seem to put it on the right track for success. While that number may look low for this type of blockbuster, keep in mind that the original film opened up to $ 43.7 million before withdrawing $ 495.1 million worldwide. These family films can often hang for weeks, especially in summer or Christmas windows. Exactly what makes Disney's Lillo and Stitch Live Action at this point.

The other very important thing to remember where this franchise is that most of his money comes from selling tickets internationally in the past. For example, "How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World" in 2019, opened at $ 55 million at home before earning $ 540 million worldwide. Instead of essential, $ 379 million out of total, or approximately 70%, originate from abroad. So, with the best opening of a franchise north of $ 60 or $ 70 million and equivalently large from the internationally, the universal seems to be in a good position here.

However, it is important to consider that Hollywood movies no longer earn almost as much money in China As before, generally speaking. Remember, it is at the top of the reduced returns from Russia and Ukraine. However, be it as it may, the numbers seem to be in favor of the studio here.

"How to Train Your Dragon" of 2025 is set up on the island of Berk, a place where the Vikings and Dragons were enemies for generations. At the center of the story is Hikap (Mason Thames), the son of His Huge (ARDERARD Butler), who opposes the centuries of tradition when he hangs out with a night rage dragon, which he named without teeth. After all, their incredible relationship will shake the very foundations of Viking society when an ancient threat arises, forcing the Vikings and dragons to move through a gentle path to peace for their collective survival.

There are those that can mock the idea of ​​reworking a 15-year-old animated film in live action, especially the one that is faithfully made as this film is based on marketing. It is said, the Early reactions to "How to train your dragon" were very positiveAnd it seems to be a real crowd. If that positive buzz continues as full examinations begin, these early estimates could begin to look conservative before long.

On paper, at least, this film has all the creation of a big hit. Unbloys obviously cares about the material, so he returned to direct this reunion. In addition, it is joined by a franchise that has already been made of $ 1.6 billion in box office, despite an animated TV shows, tons of goods, and even attractions on the theme park. The audience for this property, in other words, is massive, and that is that kind of passion in the real world that turns films like Minecraft Film in much greater success than suggesting estimates before posting. And, although I rushed to put a number on it, my intestine says this film has a really good blow to a bigger opening than it was foreseen right now.

"How to train your dragon" hits theaters on June 13, 2025.
