Domestically, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World got a head start thanks to preview screenings in early February that brought in $2.5 million.
The low end of that would be below its predecessors, 2010’s How to Train Your Dragon and 2014’s How to Train Your Dragon 2 with $43.7 million and $49.4 million, respectively.
When it opens this weekend, The Hidden World is tracking at bringing in between $40 million and $45 million.
