The movie which stars Jay Baruchel (Hiccup), America Ferrera (Astrid), Gerard Butler (Stoick) and Djimon Hounsou (Drago) has mainly received positive and encouraging reviews from audiences, but previous reports claim that it hasn't quite met the expectations thrown by DreamWorks.
However, recent reports claim that DreamWorks has "How to Train Your Dragon 2" full movie to thank for their strong 3Q results. With a $180.9M revenue and $11.9M in net profits (compared to last year's $154M and $10M profit), the sequel has indeed contributed a huge sum to the studio's feat.
"The third quarter of 2014 was strong for DreamWorks Animation, with both quarterly revenue and earnings per share up 17% in a year-over-year comparison," DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said.
"Driving the company's third quarter results is the blockbuster performance of How to Train Your Dragon 2, which has reached over $615 million at the worldwide box office to become the highest-grossing animated film of the year."
Forbes contributor Scott Mendelson previously talked about why DreamWorks was disappointed of the sequel's performance:
"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."
