Box Score: How to Train Your Dragon flies back on top.
With two new R-rated films underperforming at the weekend box office, the family-friendly How to Train Your Dragon [HTRYD] regained the top stop with an estimated $20 million in its fourth frame. The 3D fantasy from DreamWorks Animation declined just 20% in bringing its cumulative gross to $158.6 million.
Like its title character, Kick-Ass [KCKAS] got its ass kicked at the box office. The Lionsgate release debuted in second place with $19.7 milion. The violent superhero satire did not live up to its fanboy buzz, while its R-rating kept out its prime target demographic of young males teenagers.
Date Night [DATEN] ended the weekend at the third spot with $17.3 million. The adult-oriented comedy tailed off a respectable 31% second weekend to bring its 10-day sum to $49.2 million.
Death at a Funeral [DEFUN] gathered $17.0 million to open fourth overall. The R-rated comedy remake was unable to cross outside the core African-American audience.
