When Is 'How To Train Your Dragon' Coming To Streaming?
How To Train Your Dragon Universal Pictures How to Train Your Dragon soared into theaters on Friday, June 13. The film is a live-action remake of the beloved 2010 animated film that kicked off the franchise. If you're waiting to watch it at home, here's what to know about when How to Train Your Dragon will likely start streaming. Dean DeBlois, who wrote and directed all three animated How to Train Your Dragon films, is once again behind the reins for the 2025 live-action remake. Also returning is Gerard Butler, who played Viking chief Stoick the Vast in each of the animated installments. The remake also stars Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz and Murray McArthur. 'On the rugged isle of Berk, a Viking boy named Hiccup defies centuries of tradition by befriending a dragon named Toothless. However, when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future,' the official synopsis reads. 'Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.' In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Butler explained how his approach to his character differed this time around compared to the animated films. 'When I watch myself, there's moments where I go, 'That's very like how I did it before,' then there's moments where you just go completely different," he said. "What I did want to do was be fresh, coming in there and starting as a new story and suddenly I'm embodying that all day long — I didn't get to do that when I was just doing the voice. I wore my pajamas every day.' Ready to watch How to Train Your Dragon again or waiting for its streaming debut? Here's how long fans will likely have to wait to see the movie on Peacock and digital streaming. How To Train Your Dragon Courtesy of Universal Pictures How To Train Your Dragon premiered exclusively in theaters on Friday, June 13.

At Chicago baseball stadium, Pope Leo makes his first pitch to America
CHICAGO — Pope Leo XIV — known here as Bob Prevost from the South Side — will address a packed baseball stadium Saturday, greeting a U.S. audience directly for the first time and offering a glimpse of the potential impact of the first American papacy. More than 30,000 tickets were claimed for the event at Rate Field, the South Side home of the White Sox. The event, organized by the Chicago Archdiocese, is billed as a celebration of Leo and his hometown, and it will include a performance by a local Catholic school boys' choir currently on 'America's Got Talent.' Chicago Bulls announcer Chuck Swirsky will serve as emcee.

‘How To Train Your Dragon' Just Set A Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score Record
How to Train Your Dragon Dreamworks The live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon may have looked like an exercise in redundancy, given how 1:1 it seemed to the original, but it's a massive box office hit due to the fact that audiences absolutely love it. And they love it to a point where it appears to be record-setting. As it stands, How to Train Your Dragon has a 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. That's up from the 77% critic score for the remake and even the 91% audience score from the original movie. That score? It's a record among the slew of recent live-action animation adaptations, which are from Disney, not Dreamworks. Here's the list: How to Train Your Dragon Rotten Tomatoes You will note here that How to Train Your Dragon is the only non-Disney film on this list, and it's the first one Dreamworks has done. There are no other confirmed live-action adaptations that Dreamworks has announced but after this? It seems more than possible that they're going to get working on…something, whatever that may be. Live-action Shrek? Anything's possible. I was about to say Despicable Me, but that's Illumination and Universal. How to Train Your Dragon also got an 'A' audience score from recent screenings, very solid in the context of that measurement. Generally speaking, these live-action adaptations have been more well-received by audiences than perhaps sometimes-jaded critics who are not amused with seeing these 10–30-year-old movies recycled into box office churn. But for many families, it's a way to show these classics in an updated format to their kids for the first time or to get a hit of nostalgia for themselves. I can't say I'm wild about most of these, but I thought Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin were really well done. I do want to see How to Train Your Dragon now, but my son isn't quite old enough for that, and I don't particularly want to head to a theater on my own to check that one out. We will keep an eye on the box office for How to Train Your Dragon, which looks like it's going to be enormous. And what announcements may follow, like adapting the movie's sequel, no doubt. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
