 How to Train Your Theater Dragon during the off-season weekend, No. 1 for 3 consecutive weeks → No. 2 in Elio



Action adventure film How to Train Your Dragon (directed by Dean Devloyce) and Disney/Pixar Animation 'Elio' (directed by Madeleine Sharapian, Domi Shi, and Adrian Molina), which have been ranked first on the weekend for three weeks, are competing closely.

According to the Film Council's integrated computer network of movie theater admission tickets on the 23rd, How to Train Your Dragon mobilized 213,240 people for three days from the 20th to the 22nd to maintain the top spot in the overall box office. The cumulative audience of 'How to Train Your Dragon' is 1,283,633 including the audience at the premiere. During the same period, 'Elio' came in second with 211,892 people (257,906 accumulated).

Released on the 6th, How to Train Your Dragon is a live-action film of the same name released in 2010 and the first live-action film of DreamWorks. It tells the story of Hiccup, who is not recognized by everyone because of his unviking appearance and personality, and the legendary dragon Toothless, who is veiled, changing the world beyond discrimination and prejudice to special friendship.




Marking its third week of release, 'How to Train Your Dragon' has topped the list for consecutive weekends since it exceeded 1 million in 12 days, emerging as a theater 'Weekend Power' in June.

On the other hand, the emerging powerhouse 'Elio' is also showing a formidable momentum. 'Elio' is a Disney/Pixar work about Elio, a loner who felt alone on Earth, who was suddenly summoned to space one day and met a special friend.

'Elio', which was released on the 18th, also showed a strong weekend theater and showed its presence in the first week of its release. 'Elio', which narrowly lost the first place by a difference of 1,348 people from 'How to Train Your Dragon', is expected to regain the first place in the second week by word of mouth.
