Saw this movie with the kids today. One of the best animated movies I've seen in a really long time.

I suppose "once a year when the new Pixar movie comes out" qualifies as "very few times."

I'll tell you one thing: even when there are only 12 people in the theater, they applaud at the end. I've never seen that before. Dreamworks opened at the right time, too. They have had IMAX all to themselves for three weeks and will continue to, until May 7th when "Iron Man 2" opens. Compare that to "Iron Man 2" itself, which only gets 2 weeks before "Shrek: Ever After". Or "Toy Story 3", which only gets 12 days until "Eclipse". |

We saw the 3d version over spring break. Loved it. So did the kids.

Yay!
http://www.imdb.com/news/ni2131646/ Box Office Report: 'How to Train Your Dragon' ekes out a surprise win over newcomer 'Kick-Ass' 2 hours ago | EW - Hollywood Insider.com If only Kick-Ass had been in 3-D maybe we would have had a different outcome. But instead, the DreamWorks Animated 3-D flick How to Train Your Dragon squeezed out a surprise come-from-behind first-place finish with an estimated $20 million take in its fourth weekend in release. Falling only 20 percent, Dragon's total now stands at $158.6 million; a dearth of competing kids' movies has been beneficial to the well-reviewed Viking flick. Lionsgate's Kick-Ass grossed an estimated $19.75 million for a second place spot. (With estimates showing spots one and two separated by a remarkably small $250,000, Monday's final results may give us a different outcome. |

Almost $20M for an R-rated ain't too bad, though. But, yeah, I'm happy for "HTTYD" because it started off slow and most analysts pushed it to the side as a failure, but the great reviews and strong word-of-mouth have made it bob back up in the standings (which I think is fairly rare). It really deserves to do well.

Me paying for a third time and bringing my sister helped that number.
Which brings my total to $30 + I can account for ~$100 from recommendations. Word of mouth, ftw. *pat on back* |

Good movie, not fantastic. $13 ticket price is a lot. Pixar always has good little "shorts" before the main attraction. Dream works needs to add one of those instead of a dozen advertisements/trailers.

It's leading the box office again for the 4th out of 5 weekends since it's opening weekend which it didn't win.

Finally dragged my wife to see it last night. She enjoyed it.
I can't believe it made $15M, which is around $3M more than the previous weekend, when it almost tied "Kick-Ass" for #1. "HTTYD" is now up to $178M. Not bad for a film that started out slow and has built its business through word-of-mouth and good reviews. |

We have a fat black cat with yellow eyes. She's temperamental, driven by food, chases dots of light, loves catnip, and basically is Toothless except she can't fly or shoot fireballs. I told my wife I'm putting wings and a tail on her for Halloween, LOL.

Good to see the power of word of mouth keep this well deserved flick on top of the charts. Aaaaaaand: http://www.filmofilia.com/2010/10/11...on-2-for-2013/ I don't know a lot about what I'll be doing in 2013, but I know I'll be seeing this. |
