...actual $26.6 million (close to the Warner Bros. estimate) to Date Night's $25.2 million. Fox honchos had predicted that Tina and Steve would enjoy a $7.1 million Sunday date, which proved to be fully 30% higher than the $5.43 million the movie took in. How to Train Your Dragon's estimated $25.4 million was also a little high; the true total was $24.9 million. So Clash gets to brag in this week's commercials that it's still the No. 1 movie in America - though because of its higher 3-D prices in many theaters the picture was probably...
...three days - the biggest second-weekend drop since Valentine's fell 70.4%. Perry's fan base is avid but limited; nearly everyone who wants to see his films sees them the instant they hit the theaters. Other movies keep soaring on good word of mouth. How to Train Your Dragon opened two weeks ago at $43.7 million, on the weak side for a DreamWorks 3-D animated feature. But it fell only 34% in its second weekend, and for its third time around, it dropped just 12.6%. In 17 days the movie has taken in more than a quarter-billion...
This is the rare DreamWorks movie that might have benefited from a few more gag writers. Its early reels rely too heavily on the conceit that medieval Norsemen spoke with a Scots accent, and the other teens in Hiccup's dragon-training class never surmount their stereotypes. But Sanders and DeBlois, two Disney vets who told a similar kid-and-feral-pet fable in 2002's Lilo & Stitch, have the knack of giving life to fantastical interspecies friendships. And the technicians at their disposal (including the Coen brothers' ace cinematographer, Roger Deakins) have splashed the screen with landscapes that would...
...Train Your Dragon is a little more serious and more ambitious than the signature DreamWorks films - at least as much an action epic as a cartoon comedy. In its loftier moments, it might almost be called Pixarian. But the movie may simply be a detour for the studio, not the hint of a new direction. After all, in May comes Shrek Forever After, in which, we'd guess, the DreamWorks vaudevillians will cavort again...
