How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Hit Or Flop
The movie is a semi-hit or a moderate success.
It earned $197.8 million (around ₹1,650 crore) in total, while its budget is $150 million (around ₹1,250 crore). After adding marketing and promotion costs, it still needs more time to make full profit.
But because of good reviews and family audiences, the movie is doing well. It may become a hit if it continues to earn more in the coming days.
About Movie
The story is the same as the 2010 animated film. A young Viking named Hiccup meets a dragon named Toothless. Instead of fighting, they become friends. They teach their village that dragons are not enemies.
Mason Thames and Nico Parker give heartfelt performances as the young heroes. Gerard Butler returns as the father figure, Stoick. The film has beautiful special effects. Dragons look very real thanks to good CGI and camerawork. Music by John Powell brings back feelings from the original. Many people enjoy the visuals, action, and emotional scenes.
But some people say the movie is too similar to the original story—and lacks fresh ideas. A critic from The Guardian said it feels faithful but “soulless” and less magical than the animated version. Others say it is still a good watch for families and fans new to the story.
The movie released on June 13, 2025, after a premiere at CinemaCon in April. It got a strong opening day but dropped fast in the following weeks. It is likely we will see a sequel in 2027 if the studio decides to continue.
