However, "How To Train Your Dragon 2" full movie hasn't quite met DreamWorks' expectations.
Forbes contributor Scott Mendelson had this to say about the box office results, and why there was a certain expectation for the movie:
"Truth be told, I expected a bigger bump and a larger overall weekend. Despicable Me 2 jumped 48% from the original and Monsters University (admittedly with 12 years of inflation and 3D) jumped 31%. The question was just how much higher the sequel to the beloved original was supposed to climb compared to its predecessor."
"It's also below the $60m+ openings for Madagascar 2, Madagascar 3, and Kung Fu Panda, along with the $59m debut of Monsters Versus Aliens back in 2009. And its 2.7x weekend multiplier is well below the 3-3.5x DreamWorks Animation norm."
The movie stars Jay Baruchel (Hiccup), America Ferrera (Astrid), Gerard Butler (Stoick) and Djimon Hounsou (Drago) among many.
In a recent interview, Baruchel talked about lending his voice to the lead character for the second time.
"We only got to record together once on this one," explained Baruchel. "But we've both been playing these characters for seven years so we kind of, we know the terrain I think."
"Most of the time you're in a pantry, basically, just you and, me I'm always doing it in Montreal, so I don't even see anybody, just hear people in my ears in LA," the Canadian actor continues, "it's just on satellite, so yeah. No, no-one comes up for me," he added.
Meanwhile, seasoned actor Djimon Hounsou's bad guy role is not new to him, but the role proved to be very refreshing time for him when he lent his voice to Drago
.
"It's fun to be a baddie and also the first time I'm playing a baddie," said Hounsou. "And he's such a
big baddie to be played, it's exciting, I just have to justify it to my son now.
