How to Train Your Dragon breathes fire at box office
How to Train Your Dragon has breathed fire into a crowded weekend box office.
The film landed in first place with $35.6 million (£26.2 million) in sales in the US, according to The Numbers.
Projections show that the fantasy adventure film is on its way to making upwards of $200 million (£147 million) globally.
The live-action remake of the 2010 animated film, which The New York Post deemed "nice, but doesn't always soar," had the fourth-biggest opening of the year so far.
The Black Phone's Mason Thames stars as a young Viking boy named Hiccup who ignores the wishes of his father, played by Gerard Butler, and befriends a feared Night Fury dragon named Toothless. The Last of Us's Nico Parker costars as Viking warrior Astrid.
Dakota Johnson's Materialists landed in second place, with earnings of just over $5.1 million (£3.8 million).
The rom-com, which is set in New York City, centres around the love-triangle of its main characters, played by Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.
The live-action remake Lilo & Stitch moved down a notch from last week to third place.
Falling down a spot further to fourth was Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, with Karate Kid: Legends remaining in fifth spot.

Matthew McConaughey is set to play an iconic private investigator in a new movie from True Detective creator
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Matthew McConaughey is set to star in a movie based on the Mike Hammer detective novels written by none other than True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto. Per Variety, not much yet is known about the film, and a director has not yet been attached. Mike Hammer is a no-holds-barred detective who first appeared in the 1947 novel I, the Jury. Since then, 22 novels have been released, and there have been five feature-length adaptations. The book series is set to end this year with the novel, Baby It's Murder. McConaughey starred as Detective Rustin "Rust" Cohle opposite Woody Harrelson as Detective Martin "Marty" Hart in True Detective season 1, which hit HBO back in 2014. The story took place across two timelines: 1995, when the pair are young detectives fresh on the scene who are brought in to investigate the death of Dora Lange, and then 17 years later when Dora's murder is suddenly linked to a series of unsolved missing-person cases. Pizzolatto served as showrunner for True Detective seasons 1-3, before Issa Lopez took over for season 4 and the upcoming season 5. The scribe was also hired to rewrite the script for Marvel's Blade before the film was shelved indefinitely. Mike Hammer will be the first time he and McConaughey have reunited since 2014. The Mike Hammer movie does not yet have a release date. For more, check out our list of the most exciting upcoming movies in 2025 and beyond, or check out our list of movie release dates.
