Huge in USA and some other territories, but buried in October with all the other summer animations that came out and destroyed by a local film. Sadly.

Rsyu Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I predict 5 million admissions for How to Train Your Dragon 2 Maybe moreI think this is definately possible. Expectations for httyd is really high at the moment. it has a rating score of 9.82 on korea's biggest portal site making it one of the most anticipated films of the year. Also it's being released in one of the biggest months of the year for movies and the goodwill for animated films being high with the success of frozen, I'd say it has a good chance of beating KFP2 to rank as second most attended animated film 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge in USA and some other territories, but buried in October with all the other summer animations that came out and destroyed by a local film. Sadly. Nope. It is scheduled to open in late July. Last year Turbo opened that spot and made 1.9m admissions. I don't see HTTYD2 not passing 3.5m at least.

chasmmi Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 My mistake then.I still stand by it not getting close to 5M though. I hope it turns out to be great and does, but I just don't feel that Koreans are now in love with animations, they're just in love with frozen.If however HTTYD2 does break out and beat KFP2 as well then it would be a sign that adults en masse have realised that animated films can be worth watching and the next few years could see 'emerging market' type growths in admissions for future animated films.I'd like to see that happen (compared to the Cloduy / Despicable / Monsters Uni situation of last year, but I am skeptical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTYD wasn't a flop, it managed a decent 2.6m admissions and $25m gross. With a better release date and higher expectations, it could easily break out. I agree that it remains to be seen whether or not frozen has changed the attitude towards animation in korea. Should be an interesting run.

Expectations for httyd is really high at the moment. it has a rating score of 9.82 on korea's biggest portal site making it one of the most anticipated films of the year.

If I remember correctly, at the time, HTTYD had the biggest opening weekend for an animated film behind Shrek the Third, and its total was the biggest behind KFP. But anyway, I've always thought South Korea would be one of the biggest markets for Dragon 2. Even without the breakout of Frozen, I predicted it would surpass KFP2 and become the biggest animated film from USA. I have two questions: Which is that portal site of South Korea? and, why is July a bigger month than May ( when HTTYD opened if I recall correctly ) ?

Rsyu Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Noah's strong performance along with a bunch of new releases probably means frozen will be stop being screened sometime this week or by next week's new releases at the latest. I wish they hadn't done the sing-along in Korea it probably hurt frozen's performance more than it helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
