After F1 released in theaters, who would have thought that a Formula One racing drama could outpace a DC superhero movie, and that too a Superman reboot! But that’s exactly what happened a few days ago when Brad Pitt’s F1 raced past James Gunn’s Superman at the global box office. The sports drama has now surpassed Superman’s $612.5 million worldwide haul, with the gap steadily widening. It remains to be seen which one of them will finally end up with the higher tally.

Currently, F1 ranks as the sixth-highest-grossing film...

Since last year’s release of Longlegs, Osgood Perkins has been on a Hollywood hot streak. He followed up the deeply disturbing Longlegs with an adaptation of the Stephen King short story The Monkey, and his upcoming psychological horror film Keeper is in post-production. With no intentions of slowing down, Perkins is preparing for his next feature, The Young People. Today, we’ve learned that Lola Tung and Nico Parker will topline the filmmaker’s next mysterious feature.

The plot for The Young Ones is being kept secret, though we know it’s shooting in Vancouver in the fall. The project operates under Perkins’ first-look deal with Neon, with plans...

Neon has announced The Young People, its next movie with Longlegs and The Monkey director Oz Perkins, which will star two major up-and-coming names. Perkins is also a rising star, with his two hit horror movies coming out in the last year and the recent reveal of the trailer for Keeper, his next movie to be released.

Neon has a first-look deal with Perkins, and released both Longlegs and The Monkey, and will do the same for Keeper. After that, Perkins' next Neon movie will be The Young People, which will star The Summer I Turned Pretty's Lola Tung and How to Train Your Dragon's Nico Parker. The Young...

Despite widespread acclaim and positive word-of-mouth, the latest Fantastic Four reboot hasn’t turned out to be the Marvel blockbuster fans had hoped for. On the brighter side, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has still surpassed the lifetime earnings of several popular films. With a domestic haul of nearly $258 million, the Pedro Pascal-starrer is now among the top 50 highest-grossing Disney movies of all time at the U.S. box office.

Sandwiched between its big successes of How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Kung Fu Panda 3, DreamWorks released a little sci-fi film in 2015 about an outcast alien and a little girl just trying to get Home. The sweet little film came packed with an otherworldly cast, headlined by the likes of Rihanna, The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons at the height of his powers, the great Steve Martin, and Jennifer Lopez fresh off of The Boy Next Door with 9-1-1's Ryan Guzman. Despite all the star power and a solid $386 million box office, though, it's mostly forgotten among the studio's larger catalog, especially considering the movies around it. Now, however, it's getting a chance to shine again on streaming, rising to #4 on Netflix's global charts and beating out some big names in Happy Gilmore 2 and Megamind.

Gerard Butler has reached a new career milestone with the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon, which has become his highest-earning film. Butler, known for titles ranging from The Phantom of the Opera to the action-packed Has Fallen series, has been part of many global hits, but this latest fantasy adventure has set a new record for him.

The film, directed by Dean DeBlois, brings back the story of Hiccup and the Night Fury dragon Toothless, a tale Butler first joined in the 2010 animated version by voicing Stoick the Vast.

Anyone counting down to the December 23, 2026 release date of Shrek 5 is going to have to hold out a few months longer. Shrek 5 was first announced in 2024, two years after the critically acclaimed Puss in Boots: The Last Wish teased a return to the kingdom of Far, Far Away.

Shrek 5 is a highly anticipated continuation of the record-breaking animated franchise, which produced four movies in nine years before seemingly ending for good. But, when the 2024 announcement promised the returns of franchise icons Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, plus newcomers like Zendaya, some found the news sweeter than true love’s first kiss.

But while Shrek 5 is still on the way, the wait for the film has grown. Universal Pictures has updated the Shrek 5 release date on its calendar to June 30, 2027.

How to Train Your Dragon has become Gerard Butler’s highest-earning movie ever. Known for The Phantom of the Opera and various action films, including the Has Fallen franchise, Butler has been part of many commercial hits. His latest fantasy epic is a remake of 2010's animated How to Train Your Dragon, in which he voiced Stoick the Vast.

Directed by Dean DeBlois, How to Train Your Dragon portrays an unlikely companionship between Hiccup and the Night Fury dragon Toothless. Upon release, the movie garnered praise from audiences and was an instant box office success. Along with Butler, who reprises his role, the cast includes Mason Thames, Nico Parker, Julian Dennison, and Peter Serafinowicz.

According to The Numbers, Butler has a new highest-grossing movie in How to Train Your Dragon. The film has now earned over $623.5 million globally, surpassing all his previous blockbusters. Among those is the animated How to Train Your Dragon 2,...

How to Train Your Dragon has been out on home video for weeks now, but it is still playing in about 600 theaters across the US. This remake has become the highest-grossing movie in the popular series, and recently, it passed three big films that don’t seem closely connected at first glance.

It’s now been weeks since Universal debuted its How to Train Your Dragon remake on home video, but the movie is still playing in around 600 theaters domestically, having emerged as the highest-grossing installment of the fan-favorite franchise. This weekend, How to Train Your Dragon overtook a trio of blockbusters that share thematic connections that aren’t immediately obvious. The movie flew past Ang Lee’s Life of Pi, James Mangold’s Logan, and Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. With over $260 million domestically, and another $363 million from overseas markets, How to Train Your Dragonhas grossed $623 million globally.

This puts it ahead of the $614 million lifetime global haul of Logan, the $619 million lifetime global haul of Life of Pi, and the $622 million lifetime global haul of The Passion of the Christ. Released in 2004, the biblical epic was directed by Mel Gibson, and it featured Jim Caviezel as Jesus Christ.

Almost exactly two months after it hit theaters everywhere, How to Train Your Dragon has officially become Gerard Butler’s highest-grossing movie. At the time of writing, the live-action adaptation has grossed $261 million domestically and $359 million from international markets to give it a cumulative total of $620 million. This is enough to push it past How to Train Your Dragon 2, the 2014 animated film that finished its box office run with $614 million globally. This comes while fans are waiting on pins and needles for How to Train Your Dragon to make its streaming debut — as a product of Universal Pictures, the film will arrive on Peacock when it is ready to begin streaming. For now, it's still playing in some theaters, and it’s available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

Following its theatrical release on June 13, 2025, the live-action adaptation of the 2010 animated fantasy adventure How to Train Your Dragon received rave reviews from critics. On top of that, it currently ranks among the top five highest-grossing films of 2025, even surpassing Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.

As of now, it trails behind only four films this year: Ne Zha II, Lilo & Stitch, A Minecraft Movie, and Jurassic World: Rebirth. Recently, How to Train Your Dragon outgrossed another popular movie, Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster 1997 film The Lost World: Jurassic Park, a sequel to his iconic sci-fi action-adventure flick Jurassic Park.

Let us take a look at how these two films compare at the global box office, according to data from Box Office Mojo.

How to Train Your Dragon is still pulling crowds into theaters even after landing on an Ott platform weeks ago. This live-action version of the 2010 animated hit is eyeing the top spot in the series to become the highest-grossing entry in the franchise. The live-action film is on its way to becoming the franchise’s top-grossing film, signaling a strong future for DreamWorks remakes.

Despite having debuted on home video weeks ago, Universal’s How to Train Your Dragon is still a force to be reckoned with in theaters. The live-action remake of the hit original animated film from 2010 has now passed How to Train Your Dragon 2 to becomethe franchise’s top-grossing installment. It has also revived faith in the idea of live-action remakes, along with the recent Lilo & Stitch. Disney had cornered this market for over a decade, but its films were beginning to show signs of wear and tear in recent years. Perhaps DreamWorks can take over the mantle from here on out, with a remake of How to Train Your Dragon 2 already dated for 2027.

How to Train Your Dragon continues to climb up a major all-time box office chart. The 2025 movie is a live-action remake of DreamWorks' 2010 animated movie of the same name, which itself was loosely based on the children's book series by Cressida Cowell. The 2010 title launched an animated trilogy that collectively grossed more than $1.6 billion.

The 2025 How to Train Your Dragon release kicked off on June 13, earning the best opening weekend of the franchise with an $84.6 million domestic debut and eventually rising past the $600 million milestone worldwide.

Per The Numbers, How to Train Your Dragon has now risen to a cumulative domestic box office total of $258.69 million, adding nearly $500,000 on Thursday alone during the waning days of its theatrical run. This has been the case despite the movie already being available for rental and purchase at home via premium video on demand.

The next entry in the A Quiet Place film series will open in theaters for a summer 2027 release date, and original director John Krasinski is returning. A Quiet Place opened in April 2018 and became a surprise hit with critics and audiences, launching a new horror property for Paramount Pictures. The original 2018 film has blossomed into a full-blown franchise with a direct sequel in 2021, a prequel in 2024, and now a third entry set for release in 2027.

Deadline reports that Paramount Pictures has dated A Quiet Place Part III for a July 9, 2027, release date. Krasinski, who directed the first two films in the franchise, will return to helm the third installment. It is not clear if the original cast, including Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy, will reprise their roles from the previous two films. That said, fans should expect familiar faces headlining the long-awaited sequel, which hits theaters in a crowded summer.

How to Train Your Dragon is currently the fourth highest-grossing Hollywood film of the year, surpassing Tom Cruise-led Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The live-action remake had an impressive starcast but no big Hollywood star except Gerard Butler. Owing to the film’s CGI for the dragons, it had a hefty production cost, but it has raked in a solid Roi in its run. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The live-action remake had been having an excellent run at the cinemas, but its digital release has slowed down its momentum. The film is a box office success, and a sequel is also in the making. The fans are excited to see the popular franchise as live-action remakes. It is always a pleasure to watch dragons on the big screen.

The U.K. and Ireland box office delivered a robust performance in July 2025, generating £107.3 million ($142.3 million), a 3% increase on the same month last year (£103.8 million), according to Comscore. The year-to-date tally has now surpassed £639 million ($847 million) after 30 playweeks — running 15% ahead of 2024 and trailing just 1% behind 2023, the benchmark Barbenheimer summer.

Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth” dominated the month with a colossal $40.1 million, including a $16.4 million debut — the second-highest opening of the year behind “A Minecraft Movie” ($19.9 million) and ahead of “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy” ($16.3 million). Gareth Edwards’ reboot is now the fourth-highest grosser of 2025 so far, eclipsing “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” ($34.9 million) and trailing “Lilo & Stitch” ($48.8 million). It is already the fifth highest-grossing film in the “Jurassic” franchise, just behind “Jurassic World: Dominion” ($46.5 million).

Having entered the final stretch of its largely successful theatrical run, Universal's How to Train Your Dragon remake is aiming to surpass the $650 million milestone at the global box office before it taps out for good. Domestically, the hit film has already passed what will likely be its final milestone, $250 million. Produced on a reported budget of $150 million, which is on the lower end of the spectrum for a movie of its size, How to Train Your Dragon has been an unambiguously profitable venture for DreamWorks; the studio intends to follow in Pixar's footsteps and produce remakes of its greatest animated hits.

With $258 million at the domestic box office so far, How to Train Your Dragon has now overtaken the $257 million lifetime haul of director J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot. Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldaña, and the late Anton Yelchin, Star Trek...

The success of Universal's How to Train Your Dragon remake wasn't a sure thing. In the last couple of years alone, Disney's The Little Mermaid and Snow White had a difficult time in theaters, raising questions about the audience's appetite for such films. As it turns out, they're perfectly fine with remakes, as long as the movies they're presented with aren't based on properties they don't feel deeply about. How to Train Your Dragonis all set to soar past the $600 million milestone at the global box office this weekend, and eventually even become the franchise's top-grossing installment. For now, however, it can take pride in passing a major franchise movie at the international box office.

How To Train Your Dragon Worldwide Box Office: Set To Hit This Major Milestone (Photo Credit – YouTube)

After several weeks and multiple releases, How to Train Your Dragon still has a stronghold at the box office. It is inches away from a major global milestone and might be its last one before saying goodbye to the theaters. The live-action remake is the second highest-grossing film in the franchise, and it is tracking to earn the #1 rank by beating How to Train Your Dragon 2’s global haul. Read on for more.

The movie has been consistently doing well overall. A few weeks back, it became the highest-grossing film in the franchise. However, it is struggling to hit the next major global milestone due to theater loss and multiple competition. Despite all the odds, it is moving forward with great zeal and is set to leave the theaters with its head held high.

After flying to $198 million at the global box office, the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon is now roaring into home theaters.

Based on Cressida Cowell’s popular book series, the new film is an adaptation of 2010’s hit animated feature and stars Mason Thames as Hiccup, a Viking boy who befriends a dragon named Toothless.

How to Train Your Dragon has overtaken a recent Disney live-action remake as it continues to fly up the box office rankings. DreamWorks' first remake of one of its animated films is a tremendous success for the studio, and likely won't be its last. The Viking-dragon family adventure is proving once again that these remakes can be wildly profitable.

While Disney is still the leader in live-action remakes, DreamWorks is proving it can compete. According to The Numbers, Httyd has earned $588.9 million, surpassing 2023's The Little Mermaid, which made $569.6 million. In addition to the box office, Httyd also defeated The Little Mermaid among critics, earning a 77% score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to the latter's 67%.

Toothless and friends have also moved past a few other family films on the worldwide box office charts, including Night at the Museum and Monsters Inc. Despite Httyd recently debuting on digital VOD, itis still performing well at the box office.

Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg's live-action adaptation of Uncharted is finding new streaming success three years after it bombed with critics. Sony's long-awaited movie version of the Naughty Dog games featured Wahlberg as grizzled treasure hunter Sully and Holland as his protégé Nathan Drake.

Per FlixPatrol, Uncharted has rocketed up Prime Video's Top 10 Overall content rankings and is currently sitting at #8, ahead of Ben Affleck's action thriller The Accountant 2 and the biblical series The Chosen, as of Sunday, July 20.

Having completed a full month of release in theaters worldwide, Universal’s How to Train Your Dragon remake flew towards another global box office milestone. It’s the second-highest-grossing installment of the fan-favorite franchise, having beaten the lifetime global haul of the original animated film, and the series' third installment. It now trails only How to Train Your Dragon 2, whose own remake is already slated for a 2027 release. The movie is inching closer to the $600 million mark at the worldwide box office, reestablishing the audience’s faith in live-action remakes of animated hits, after a string of big-budget films underperformed in recent years.

With $250 million domestically and another $338 million from overseas markets, How to Train Your Dragon has grossed a cumulative total of $589 million worldwide. The movie has most recently passed the lifetime global hauls of past hits, such as the Jason Statham-led The Meg, Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk,...

How to Train Your Dragon has hit a franchise-first box office milestone. The 2025 movie is a live-action remake of DreamWorks' 2010 movie of the same name. Helmed by original director Dean DeBlois, it follows young Viking Hiccup (Mason Thames) bonding with an injured dragon, which makes him question why he's being trained to slay them.

The How to Train Your Dragon release kicked off on June 13, taking No. 1 at the domestic box office during its opening weekend and becoming the first new release to topple the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake from its perch at the top of the chart.

In the age of live-action remakes, one recent remake is now thriving on VOD services. In recent years, classic animated movies, which thrived in theaters for nearly a century, have given way to a new reality for studios. As Disney's many live-action remake successes have proven, audiences have a desire to see their childhood favorites in a more realistic style.

The trend began in earnest with Disney's 2010 release, Alice in Wonderland, which earned over $1 billion at the box office. Having realized the potential of these films, the studio quickly focused on making other remakes. These reimagined films included Beauty and the Beast (2017), Aladdin (2019), and The Lion King (2019), which earned over $1 billion each.

Unfortunately, there have been some live-action failures. Mulan (2020) and Disney's Snow White (2025) all proved to be box office disappointments, raising questions about the viability of live-action remakes in the post-covid box office landscape. While Lilo & Stitch (2025) dissuaded those concerns,...

How to Train Your Dragon has reached yet another key milestone at the worldwide box office. It has also beaten the global haul of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World to become the second highest-grossing film in the entire franchise. It holds strong at #4 in the domestic box office chart after its fifth three-day weekend. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The live-action is doing great against the new releases and is expected to become the highest-grossing film in the franchise. A sequel to the film is already in development and is slated to be released in 2027. It is a great time for these family films as kids have their summer vacations, and who doesn’t love to watch giant fire-breathing dragons on the screen?

Having completed a full month of release in theaters worldwide, Universal's How to Train Your Dragon remake has firmly established itself as a hit. It wasn't a foregone conclusion, especially with a few other live-action remakes underperforming at the box office recently. One of them, Snow White, was an outright bomb, having grossed just over $200 million against a reported budget of over $250 million. Not only did How to Train Your Dragon cost less than that film, it has also generated over twice as much as it did globally. This weekend, it overtook as many as six beloved animated hits.

With $240 million domestically and $320 million from overseas markets, How to Train Your Dragon's cumulative global haul currently stands at $560 million. It reportedly cost $150 million to produce, which is relatively low for a tent pole of this magnitude. We must remember that the movie was always supposed to spawn sequels and...

The How To Train Your Dragon remake just burned through a major box office milestone. A remake of the 2010 animated classic, the live-action remake stars Mason Thames (Hiccup) and Nico Parker (Astrid), alongside the lovable CGI dragon Toothless. As they discover the truth about the war between dragons and Vikings, audiences have been pouring into theaters.

While Superman dominated the box office this week, a report from Variety indicates that it is not this weekend's only winner. How to Train Your Dragon took fourth place and crossed a massive global total. It has officially earned $239 million domestically and $560 million worldwide, having crossed the $550 million mark this weekend.

It is only the fifth movie of the year to reach that milestone, as only Ne Zha 2, Lilo & Stitch, A Minecraft Movie, and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning reached it sooner. Ne Zha 2 finished its run with nearly $1.9 billion, while...

The great thing about being able to retell your own story is that you can fix your previous mistakes. In the case of 2025's "How to Train Your Dragon," director Dean DeBlois was able to revisit his 2010 animated classic in live-action, improving not only characters like Hiccup and Toothless but also certain plot points from the original film that never made sense to begin with.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about his second go-around, DeBlois clarified how he could do damage control on a story that had remained untouched for 15 years. One particular example he brought up was a bit of a plot hole in the near-perfect original animated movie, in which the people of Berk deal with the fallout of Toothless bringing down the Red Death. As you may recall, the oversized Alpha swiftly turns the Vikings' ships to kindling after Stoick's (Gerard Butler) attack on the island housing the dragons' nest.

How to Train Your Dragon has passed a key James Cameron film at the box office. Cameron has a great commercial track record with his movies, continuing to prove himself a box office king. Three of the top 5 highest-grossing movies of all time were directed by him, which were Titanic, Avatar, and Avatar: The Way of Water.

Cameron has another chance for box office glory this year with the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash. Before that point, however, several films had done well at the box office so far this year. This includes the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon, which has been well-received by critics and audiences alike.

As per Box Office Mojo,How to Train Your Dragon has now passed Terminator 2: Judgment Dayat the all-time worldwide box office. At the time of writing, the live-action adaptation was the no. 245 highest-grossing film of all time,...

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...

Dean DeBlois's How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake is close to overtaking the franchise's second-highest-grossing movie. Following a Viking boy's journey to befriend a dragon against centuries of tradition, the 2025 live-action remake has exceeded initial expectations at the box office.

From its chart-topping opening of $197.8 million worldwide to a continued strong performance during the second weekend, the fourth installment in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise has seen huge success at the box office.

Per The Numbers, How to Train Your Dragon has earned over $530 million worldwide, which is only $9 million away from outpacing How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World to become the second-highest-grossing entry. The franchise's highest-grossing entry remains How to Train Your Dragon 2, which amassed $621 million worldwide by the end of its theatrical run.

How to Train Your Dragon is one of the trending movies currently running at the cinemas. The live-action remake is also steadily moving towards becoming the highest-grossing film in the franchise. It is now on track to beat How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’s worldwide haul and become the second-highest-grossing installment in the franchise. Keep scrolling for more.

According to reports, 2025 is trailing behind compared to last year. There have been tentpole movies, but they have not yet matched the previous year’s broader summer slate. Some surprise hits, like Sinners, kept up the momentum. The full-year outlook remains positive if upcoming tentpole releases maintain the box office momentum, but this is a peak time, and the summer weakness is a notable drag.
