'How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World' Ablaze With $55M+ Franchise Record Opening & Second Best February Animated Pic Debut
DreamWorks Animation/Universal's How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World came in at $55.5M per studio figures this morning after a $22.4M Saturday that was +28% over Friday. Despite being lower than industry figures yesterday morning that opening is one to be proud about: The best debut in DWA's Dragon franchise and the second best opening for an animated film in February after The Lego Movie ($69M). Not to mention, Hidden World best its earlier week projections of $40M-$45M. That's a great vibe for the marketplace after tracking being so far off this season for pics such as Glass and Lego Movie 2. With previews, Dragon is at $58M.
Fox's Alita: Battle Angel improved on its Saturday AM prospects with $12M second weekend, -58% (still low), with a 10-day of $60.6M. Saturday with $5.5M was +76%.
MGM's Fighting With My Family came in ahead of what we were seeing with $8M. Business was up 28% yesterday. With its stellar A- CinemaScore in wide release, and great PostTrak exits of 83% in the top two boxes with a 57% recommend, we hear that the pic has a better chance at long legs, potentially a 4x-5x multiple, than what Fox pulled off with Eddie the Eagle. There's extra muscle here from WWE and WWE Studios targeting their fans on social. Family overperformed in the West, Northeast, South Central with the top theaters in the country being the AMC Burbank, Atlantic Station Stadium in Atlanta, Levittown 10 in New York, Santikos Casa Blanca in San Antonio, TX and the Camelview in Scottsdale, AZ.
