‘Dragon’ flies
Universal’s How To Train Your Dragon live-action remake soared at the global box office this weekend, with a $197.8m opening weekend.
This is comfortably the biggest opening weekend for the franchise, which has three previous animated titles.
Directed by Dean DeBlois, who helmed the three animated features, Dragon scored a forceful $114.1m from international territories, plus $83.7m from the US.
Its $197.8m global total is the fourth-biggest opening of 2025, behind only A Minecraft Movie, Lilo & Stitch and Ne Zha 2. It is the seventh-biggest opening ever for a live-action remake of an animated feature, behind Disney releases The Lion King, Beauty And The Beast, Lilo & Stitch, The Jungle Book, Alice In Wonderland and Aladdin.
Most territories recorded the biggest opening weekend of the Dragon franchise, including Mexico, the UK and Ireland, Brazil, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, Central America, the Netherlands, Chile, Argentina and Australia (excluding previews).
Mexico provided the biggest international contribution with $14m, while UK-Ireland recorded a forceful $11.4m, including $3.3m from previews.
The film thrived in the Imax format with $16.1m around the world, split almost evenly between $8.1m in North America and $8m internationally. Of that international Imax total, $1.6m came from China, at roughly 15% of the territory’s $11.2m total.
How To Train Your Dragon 2, the second of the animated titles, is currently the highest-grossing in the franchise with $622m. After this rapid start, the live-action Dragon remake should be confident of surpassing that.
The film stars Mason Thames as Hiccup, an inventive Viking, who befriends Toothless, a Night Fury dragon, as an archaic threat endangers Vikings and dragons alike on the island of Berk.
‘Materialists’ makes bank
Materialists, the second feature from Past Lives director Celine Song, scored a solid $15.5m on its opening weekend at the global box office.
The total consisted of $3.5m from international markets, where it was released by Sony in most territories, and $12m from its US release through A24.
The film’s international start was 78% ahead of Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers and 13% up on John Crowley’s We Live In Time. With major territories to come including France (July 2), Brazil, Mexico (both July 31), South Korea (August 8), Spain (August 14), UK-Ireland (August 15), Germany (August 21) and Italy (September 4), it should chase down the $42.7m total of Song’s 2023 Past Lives by the end of its run.
Materialists stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in the story of an ambitious New York matchmaker who finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex-partner.
Blockbuster milestones
Despite being knocked off the top spot on its fourth weekend in cinemas, Disney’s Lilo & Stitch recorded another forceful session, with $46.8m taking it to $858.4m total as the second-highest-grossing release of 2025 behind A Minecraft Movie.
It added $31.3m from international markets, and remains the number one film in Japan, Hong Kong, Georgia, Lebanon and Oman.
The film is the highest-grossing Disney live-action title of all time in Mexico as well as several smaller markets, and is the number one film of 2025 in France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Mexico and all Latin American markets.
Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, released on the same May 21 date as Lilo & Stitch, reached its own milestone by crossing $500m.
The Tom Cruise-led blockbuster has $506.8m total, after a $31.3m global weekend of which $21m came from international markets.
Japan provided forceful holdovers for both titles, with Lilo & Stitch dropping just 18% there and The Final Reckoning falling only 19%.
‘Ballerina’ spins
John Wick franchise title Ballerina added $22.9m on its second session, down 55% on its pliable opening last weekend.
Released by Lionsgate in the US and UK-Ireland and various distributors elsewhere, the film took $13.5m in international markets this weekend, and has a $49.7m international cume as part of a $91.5m global total.
Ana de Armas stars as an assassin trained in the traditions of the Ruska Roma organisation, who sets out to seek revenge after her father’s death.
‘Chuck’ finds life
Mike Flanagan’s fantasy drama The Life Of Chuck snuck into the global box office top 10, with a $2.9m worldwide weekend of which $721,300 came from international markets.
Winner of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival’s People’s Choice award – often an indicator of further awards success including at the Oscars – the film is distributed by Neon in the US, and various distributors in international territories.
Markets to have opened already include France through Nour Films and Netherlands through Independent Films.
Based on Stephen King’s novella, the film depicts three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz, played by Tom Hiddleston.
