Despite new releases, 'How to Train Your Dragon' has retained the top position at the North American box office, generating $37 million in its second weekend. With a total of $358.2 million globally, the film's success has revitalized the DreamWorks franchise, leading to plans for a sequel. In contrast, Pixar's 'Elio' faced challenges, recording just $21 million in ticket sales, marking the lowest opening for Pixar, attributed to production setbacks and heavy budget concerns. The film's underperformance highlights a potential shift in audience expectations for Pixar films.
"How To Train Your Dragon has proven a potent revival of the DreamWorks Animation franchise, amassing $358.2 million worldwide, with a sequel already in development."
"This is a weak opening for a new Pixar movie... by Pixar's remarkable standard, the opening is well below average."
