How to Train Your Dragon 2 OS (418 mil OS!!!)

Recommended Posts















Forbes, article includes also the studios press release:

 

 

DreamWorks Animation's  How to Train Your Dragon 2 has officially crossed $500 million worldwide. To wit, the film debuted in China with a strong $5.6m opening day, which was enough to push the critically-acclaimed animated sequel over the half-billion dollar mark in global grosses. As of today, the film has earned $170.6m domestic and $331.2m overseas since debuting in mid-June of this summer. Also of note, it has thus surpassed 20th Century Fox's  Rio 2 ($496m) and Warner Bros.’ (Time Warner , Inc.) The LEGO Movie ($468m) worldwide to become the biggest-grossing animated film of 2014.

One hand, both films were noticeably cheaper than the $145m-budgeted sequel, with Rio 2 costing $103m and The LEGO Movie costing $60m to produce. One the other hand, the film’s opening day in China is basically equal to the opening weekend of The Croods, which earned $6.3m on its debut weekend back in March 2013 and went on to earn $63m in China. We’ll have a better idea of where the film may end up in terms of overall Chinese box office totals by the end of the weekend.

It needs just a little more than 420M to reach 600M. It was at 320M on Monday, coming from a week above 20M. It still has Italy (opening this weekend) so even with Japan out of the game, 60M from China should be enough. And it looks to be a likely finish.

600M is not bad. it however does not make up for crappy domestic run. it appears dreamworks still does not have a uber blockbuster global franchise like ice age/ despicable me after Shrek 2/3. 

How much would it have to make to be counted as one? 600m WW is more than triple it's budget.
