How to Train Your Dragon hits a new box office milestone, which sees the 2025 remake closing in on the franchise’s global record. The Mason Thames-led remake of Dean DeBlois’s 2010 animated movie of the same name has crossed several major global box office milestones after a strong opening weekend of $84.6 million domestically and $197.6 million globally.

According to The Numbers, How to Train Your Dragon has made more than $570 million at the global box office. This makes the 2025 remake only $51 million away from the franchise’s record of $614 million, held by 2014’s How to Train Your Dragon 2.

What This Means For How To Train Your Dragon’s Box Office

It’s Inevitable For The 2025 Remake To Shatter The Sequel’s Record

The 2025 remake has stayed in the theaters for a little over a month. Given the success, the movie will likely have a longer run in theaters, and with only $51 million away from overtaking the 2014 animated sequel as the franchise’s highest-grossing movie of all time, the highly-rated How to Train Your Dragon remake has a great chance of crossing the line in the next few weeks.

The live-action remake pᴀssed the $350 million mark in the second week and surpᴀssed The Hidden World‘s $550 million record by July 14, before the fourth weekend. Having made another $20 million in less than a week before the weekend, the movie’s revenue growth rate suggests that it won’t take long before the How to Train Your Dragon 2025 remake breaks the franchise’s all-time record.
