Universal’s How to Train Your Dragon had no trouble staying No. 1 in its second weekend with an estimated $37 million domestic haul despite the entry of the highly anticipated sequel 28 Years Later and Elio. How to Train Your Dragon, a live-action adaptation of DreamWorks Animation’s beloved 2010 animated film, roared past $350 million around the world with a U.S. total of $160.5 million.
Pixar’s Elio failed to meet expectations bringing in a mere $21 million in the lowest opening ever for Pixar amid a glut of family box office hits and a troubled marketplace for original animated fare. 28 Years Later also opened behind expectations domestically with an estimated $30 million
