The sequel has racked a total of $384M in box office revenues since its premiere. The number remains to be impressive considering its production budget cost of $147M.

Venture Beat calls the sequel "a visual delight that has entertained millions of moviegoers this summer."

The success of the animation can be attributed to DreamWorks' "technological infrastructure."

"There are no limits on what we can do now," said director Dean DeBlois. "Having so many dragons and an army of thousands of soldiers is something we couldn't have done before. The software is extremely powerful and it allows our artists to express themselves."

But the software is not the sole reason for the success of the movie. As Venture Beat reported, "It took about 495 artists to make the movie."

"To visualize Dragon 2, the team created more than 100,000 storyboards for the 90-minute film. It took about 18 months to two years to craft the film, with a lot of back-and-forth to get the look of every frame just right."

"The animators then created more than 500 million digital files. It took a fleet of cloud computers in data centers more than 90 million render hours to render the 129,600 frames in the final film. If one computer had worked on the rendering task, it would have taken 10,273 years to complete. But DreamWorks had so much computing power on hand that it could render those frames inside of a week or so for the last cut."

"The data is stored across 398 terabytes, or equivalent to the storage of 25,742 smartphones with 16GB of flash memory each. Each tree in the movie takes about four to six weeks to model, with 4,000 to 6,000 control points in the 3D animation," added the report.
