How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake, directed by Dean DeBlois, has pulled in massive numbers and is speeding toward becoming one of the franchise’s top earners. The 2025 version retells the story of a Viking boy who forms an unlikely bond with a dragon, challenging the beliefs of his village. It opened strong worldwide with nearly $198 million and kept its momentum into the following weeks.
Live-Action Remake Beats The Hidden World’s Original Run
The film has already made more than The Hidden World did during its initial run in just five weeks. That third film from 2019 reached almost $521 million (per The Numbers) before being pushed up to $539 million through several re-releases. The new remake has crossed $530 million without that kind of boost, and now it’s only a few million short of overtaking The Hidden World to become the second-biggest entry in the franchise.
