Live-Action HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON Lands Official Film Chart Number 1

DreamWorks and Universal Pictures’ epic return to Berk has struck box office gold as 2025’s live action How to Train Your Dragon makes a spectacular debut at Number 1 on this week’s Official Film Chart. The long-awaited live-action remake of the beloved animated classic has captivated audiences and critics alike with its breathtaking visuals, heartfelt performances, and a fresh yet faithful retelling of the story of Hiccup and Toothless. Fans of the original trilogy will find nostalgia and new wonder in this reimagined epic from director Dean DeBlois.

Set in the Viking village of Berk, this reimagined tale follows Hiccup, a misfit boy who befriends an injured Night Fury dragon named Toothless. The film combines cutting-edge VFX with intimate character storytelling, striking a powerful balance between mythic grandeur and emotional resonance.

Final Destination – Bloodlines moves up thirteen places to second place this week, with its jaw-dropping practical effects and a surprisingly sharp script, this entry dives deeper into the mythos, exploring a cursed family haunted by fate. Horror fans have praised the fresh direction and brutal creativity in the kills, making it one of the most talked-about entries since the original.

Disney’s heartfelt reimagining of a classic tale, Lilo & Stitch – Live Action, falls to Number 3 this week from the Number 1 spot, continuing to enchant audiences both new and old with its island magic and emotional depth.

Elsewhere in the Top 10, new entry from M3GAN 2.0 lands in at Number 10 with a sequel that ups the ante with more mayhem, more A.I. horror, and sharp social commentary. This follow-up builds on the tech paranoia of the first film while exploring the evolution of M3GAN’s programming and her increasing independence. A thrilling and slyly funny horror sequel.
