Summer is heating up in Hollywood, with big hits already making waves. After the success of Lilo & Stitch, the buzz around the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon is taking over the box office.
With nearly $198 million raked in during its opening days, Universal’s How to Train Your Dragon is already making its mark as one of the top 10 Hollywood hits of 2025. It’s on track to surpass Disney’s Snow White, another recent live-action success.
Earning close to $84 million in the US alone, How to Train Your Dragon is exceeding expectations and setting Universal up for another blockbuster. Despite its strong performance, Lilo & Stitch is still drawing in audiences with over $858 million in ticket sales, inching closer to becoming the top Hollywood hit of 2025. But it’s got a ways to go to catch up with the Chinese film Ne Zha 2, which has made an impressive $1.9 billion.
As Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning crosses the $506 million mark and Ballerina nears $92 million, excitement is building for upcoming releases like Superman, Jurassic World: Rebirth, and Fantastic Four. Hollywood is heating up, and the summer blockbusters are just getting started.
