Common Sense Media also reviews “Materialists,” “Echo Valley” and “Not a Box.”

EXCLUSIVE: Universal’s live action take of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon is eyeing around $8M-$9M in previews, which not only includes tonight’s monies but those from early fan access screenings.

Hiccup and Toothless are readying to fire up the box office.

Going into my screening of the new live-action feature, I made a specific point of not revisiting the 2010 movie – which I probably last watched around the time that How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World was released.

How To Train Your Dragon, the live action version of the classic animated film, has been released this week. The films are inspired by the book series by author Cressida Cowell. Presspackers Devon and Mehrish went to meet some of the stars, including Gerard Butler (Stoick), Nick Frost (Gobber) and Mason Thames (Hiccup).
