The first How to Train Your Dragon film earned approximately $495 million worldwide at the box office.
Released by DreamWorks Animation in 2010, the film performed strongly internationally and became a major commercial success for the studio. Its financial performance was supported by family audiences, repeat viewing, and the popularity of its flying sequences and friendship-centered story.
Box-office totals can vary slightly between sources because databases may round figures differently or update totals after rereleases. The commonly reported worldwide figure is about $495 million, rather than an exact unchanging number in every reference.
This total is often confused with the grosses of the later films. How to Train Your Dragon 2 earned more worldwide, while The Hidden World also became a substantial global hit. The first film’s result was especially important because it established the franchise as more than a single animated feature.
