How To Train Your Dragon... to kick ass at the box office!

I know this is old news, but I just wanted to gloat about the amazing success of How To Train Your Dragon. It opened with a 43 million dollar weekend and was considered a disappointment by industry insiders because it didn't open as well as Dreamworks' last 3D movie, Monsters Vs. Aliens. MvA went on to make $198,351,526. Dragon has made $202,644,160 as of today and is still in the top 5 for weekend box office after 7 weeks. It actually reclaimed the no. 1 weekend spot on its 5th weekend of release.

Let's hear it for word of mouth! It is a great movie. If you haven't seen it yet, go!
