US Edition'Dragon' Tops North American Box Office with $37M
- Universal Pictures' live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon remained the top film with $37 million in ticket sales this weekend.
- This achievement comes six years after the previous installment and follows a $150 million live-action remake of the 2010 DreamWorks film centered on a young Viking and his dragon companion.
- New releases included Sony's zombie sequel 28 Years Later directed by Danny Boyle, which opened with $30 million, Boyle's biggest opening weekend so far.
- Pixar’s new film, centered on a boy fascinated by extraterrestrials, opened to a modest $21 million, marking the studio’s lowest debut according to David A. Gross, who described the performance as underwhelming for a Pixar release.
- The competing releases suggest a crowded marketplace and imply continuing challenges for original animated stories to reach past box office heights, while sequels and remakes dominate.
