'How to Train Your Dragon' soars in box office debut with $83 million, beating 'Lilo and Stitch'
LOS ANGELES (AP) — 'How to Train Your Dragon' took flight at the box office this weekend, proving that some remakes still have teeth. The Universal live-action adaptation of the beloved animated franchise soared to a strong $83 million debut in North American theaters, according to Comscore estimates Sunday. The film, directed by franchise veteran Dean DeBlois, follows the unlikely friendship between a young Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) and a dragon called Toothless. The reboot easily outpaced 2019's 'How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,' which opened with $55 million. It also claimed the No. 1 spot ahead of Disney's 'Lilo and Stitch,' which slipped to second place after topping the charts for three weekends. That hybrid live-action remake added another $15 million, pushing its domestic total past $386.3 million. 'Materialists," a modern-day New York love story starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans, rounded out the top three films of the week with a $12 million debut. The romantic dramedy features Johnson as a savvy matchmaker caught between two suitors: a broke, struggling actor who happens to be her ex, and a wealthy 'unicorn' who seems too good to be true. 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' slid to fourth place, taking in $10.3 million and avoiding a dip into single-digit territory. The John Wick spinoff 'Ballerina' fell to fifth place with $9.4 million, despite strong reviews from both critics and audiences. Directed by Len Wiseman, the action film stars Ana de Armas and features Keanu Reeves reprising his role in a supporting turn. In sixth place, 'Karate Kid: Legends' earned $5 million followed by 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' at seventh with $3.9 million. Wes Anderson's latest 'The Phoenician Scheme' brought in $3 million eighth place. 'The Life of Chuck,' based on a Stephen King story, placed ninth with $2.1 million. Rounding out the top 10 was 'Sinners." The Ryan Coogler film starring Michael B. Jordan, drew $1.4 million. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. 'How to Train Your Dragon," $83.7 million 2. 'Lilo and Stitch,' $15.5 million. 3. 'Materialists," $12 million. 4. 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,' $10.3 million. 5. 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,' $9.4 million. 6. 'Karate Kid: Legends,' $5 million. 7. 'Final Destination: Bloodlines,' $3.9 million. 8. 'The Phoenician Scheme,' $3 million. 9.

REACHER Season 4 Adds 8 New Faces to the Mix
Reacher Season 4 begins production this week. Eight new cast members — Jay Baruchel, Marc Blucas, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Kevin Corrigan, and Kathleen Robertson — join Alan Ritchson, who plays the titular Jack Reacher. Season 4 will follow the story of Gone Tomorrow , the 13th Reacher novel, published in 2009. Photo Credit: Jasper Savage/Prime Video Prime Video's hit series, Reacher, scored a fourth season renewal in October 2024, four months before Reacher Season 3 premiered. Each season so far has been a fairly accurate adaptation of specific Lee Child novels. The first Jack Reacher novel, The Killing Floor , published in 1997, became Reacher Season 1, while Season 2 jumped ahead to 2007's Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher #11). Season 3 backtracked to the 2003 novel, Persuader (Jack Reacher #7). RELATED: Read our Reacher Season 3 recaps Earlier this week, Ritchson announced on Instagram that Season 4 will be based on Jack Reacher #13, Gone Tomorrow, first published in 2009. Joining Ritchson for Season 4 are: Jay Baruchel, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kecin Corrigan, and Kathleen Robertson. Who Are They Playing? Amazon teases the Gone Tomorrow plot: 'When a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a train goes horribly wrong, Jack Reacher is drawn into a complex and deadly game that pits him against ruthless foes from the highest echelons of power.' Based on summaries of the novel, we can sketch out some of the new cast members' roles. Photo Credit:for Netflix Jay Baruchel, seen most recently in FUBAR and heard as Hiccup in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, plays Jacob Merrick, the brother of the 'distraught stranger' in the description. RELATED: Steven Universe Gets Prime Video Sequel, Lars of the Stars GGA folx will remember Marc Blucas as Riley Finn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the interim 23 years since the days of Riley and The Initiative, he's grown into the Reacher role of John Samson, a Washington politician with a squad of thugs on his payroll. Samson's wife, Elsbeth, is another familiar face. Kathleen Robertson appeared as Rosenfeld Guoliang in The Expanse Season 6. (Personally, I'll always remember her as Clare on Beverly Hills, 90210. ) Reacher Rocks Out A newcomer to North American television, but with a successful and established music career, Agnez Mo portrays Lila Hoth, described in the novel as representing herself as the widow of a Russian oligarch. (Strong possibility here that the Hoths will claim a connection to Indonesian political and military forces, considering the casting.) RELATED: TV Review: Reacher Season 3 Another actress with deep music industry ties, Anggun plays Amisha Hoth. In the novel, when Reacher meets Lila, she is a woman named Svetlana, whom she claims is her mother. As Agnez Mo and Anggun are only 12 years apart in age, their relationship may be rewritten. Photo Credit: Jesse Grant/Peacock Playing Detective Docherty, a New York City homicide detective, Kevin Corrigan hits the beat with a partner named Theresa Lee in the novel. I suspect Theresa is now Tamara Green. If I'm correct, that places Sydelle Noel as Reacher's primary law enforcement ally. We can only hope she'll break out some of her G.L.O.W. moves on the baddies. Axe kick, anyone? RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Frances Neagley Kevin Weisman's character, Russell Plum, is the only one without a clear Gone Tomorrow connection. There are several roles he could slide into easily. The Samsons have a head of security named Mr. Springfield in the book. Federal agents dog Reacher's steps throughout the plot. Plum could be wholly invented or borrowed from another book (like Maria Sten's Neagley) to fill in Reacher's social circle. Photo Credit: Jasper Savage/Prime Video Speaking of Neagley Maria Sten announced on Instagram a week ago that Neagley, the Reacher spin-off series, wrapped shooting. That puts it on track for a late 2025 or early 2026 release. Alan Ritchson guest stars as Reacher, returning the favor by helping out the way Neagley did in Seasons 2 and 3 of his show. All three seasons of Reacher are now streaming on Prime Video.
