Repost out of the international thread:

 

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.
