It breathed fire into the box office.
“How to Train Your Dragon” had a mythical day in theaters on Friday, its opener, landing in first place with $35.6 million in sales, according to The Numbers.
The live-action remake of the 2010 DreamWorks Animation film, which The Post said “is nice, but doesn’t always soar,” had the fourth-biggest opening of 2025.
It is slated to enjoy a three-day gross of $82.7 million, as per Variety.
“Materialists” landed in second, with earnings of just over $5.1 million.
The rom-com, which is set in NYC and centers around a love-triangle of its main characters, played by Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, is projected to take in around $12 million until Sunday.
The Post said “watching the new, unromantic, non-comedy,” “can feel like going on a shaky first date.”
The live-action remake “Lilo & Stitch,” moved down a notch from last week to third place, with $4.7 million in revenue.
It’s already surpassed the $800 million mark globally and is on track to reach $1 billion, according to Deadline.
Falling down a spot to fourth was “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” with just over a $2.25 million dollar take.
“Karate Kid: Legends” remained in fifth, with $1.25 million in sales.
