North American box office: "How to Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World" dominates

Los Angeles, China News Service, February 24 (Reporter Zhang Shuo) After nearly 5 years, the "dragon trainer" has re-emerged. DreamWorks' animated film How to train your dragon: the hidden world grossed well over the weekend of its premiere, topping the latest North American box office charts.

North American box office statistics website boxofficemojo.com released its latest film market data on February 24, and 45 films closed at the weekend box office of about $127 million, up 2.1% month-on-month.

The $129 million "How to Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World" was released on the 22nd, earning about $55.53 million at the opening weekend, successfully surpassing the "gold-sucking master" thriller "Glass" to become the best film to premiere in North America so far in 2019.

The "How to Train Your Dragon" series of movies began in 2010, and the updated rhythm was as long as "more than 4 years and one blossom", which made fans want to see through. The first film, "How to Train Your Dragon," opened in March 2010 and grossed about $495 million worldwide. In June 2014, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" was released, surpassing its predecessor in terms of premieres and overall box office, with a global box office of $622 million.

The latest release of "How to Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World" takes over the second part of the story, telling the story of the grown Viking boy and his dragon companions who embark on a new adventure to defend the peace of their homeland. It was the least invested film in the series and the best-grossing North American premiere, with a cumulative global box office of $275 million. Some moviegoers said that zhu yu is in front, this one is equally wonderful - the plot is more tortuous, the special effects are well-made, the scene is grand and breathtaking, and the "toothless boy" with hardcore superpowers still sells well, which can be called the best work of Hollywood animation movies.

Under the strong impact of "How to Train Your Dragon", the last champion and action-adventure film "Alita: Battle Angel" has taken a back seat with a box office of about $12 million and a decline of 57.9%, and currently has a cumulative global box office of about $263 million. The last runner-up, the animated film "The Lego Movie 2: the second part," fell to third place with about $10.02 million at the box office and a 51.9 percent decline, and is currently grossing about $137 million worldwide.

The Valentine's Day comedy feature film "Fighting with My Family" jumped from no. 40th in the previous issue to No. 4 in this issue with a box office of about $8.01 million due to a significant increase in theaters. The film is adapted from the true story of Paige, a British "post-90s" female wrestler, telling the story of a wrestling family who is against the prejudice of "freak family" and pursues their dreams unswervingly. American "tough guy" star Dawn Johnson, who also comes from a wrestling family, starred in the film "True Colors". Some viewers said that the story of the film was well told, there were laughter and tears, and the fight scenes were also "very burning".

Another new film, Run the Race, released on the same day as How to Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World, ranked 10th on the current issue with about $2.27 million. This drama feature film combines elements such as youth, family affection, and sports, and tells the story of brotherhood colliding and sublimating in high school sports competitions.

In addition, the comedy "Isn't it Romantic", the comedy "What Men Want", the horror film "Happy Death Day 2u", the action drama "Cold Pursuit" and the comedy "The Upside" share the other seats in this issue's top ten list in turn.

This upcoming weekend, Focus's restrictive thriller "Greta" and lionsgate's comedy "A Madea Family Funeral" will all be released on March 1. (End)
