US Edition'How to Train Your Dragon' Tops U.S. Box Office; 'Elio' Marks New Low for Pixar
- Universal's live-action remake How to Train Your Dragon remained the top-grossing film in North America during its second weekend, earning $37 million.
- This occurred amid the debut of Pixar/Disney's Elio, which launched with a modest $21 million across 3,750 theaters, marking the worst start in Pixar's modern history.
- Elio, a Pixar animated film centered on a young boy’s fascination with extraterrestrials, received favorable audience reactions but managed to earn only $14 million across 43 international territories, marking a disappointing start compared to the studio’s usual performance despite achieving an A rating on CinemaScore.
- The international running gross for How to Train Your Dragon reached $362.5 million, led by China at $60.6 million, while franchise analyst David A. Gross called Elio's opening 'a weak opening for Pixar.'
- These results suggest that while How to Train Your Dragon continues strong momentum, Elio's performance highlights challenges for Pixar to launch new hits amid a subdued summer box office season.
