“How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” flew off with the weekend box office win in China, clipping the wings of “Alita: Battle Angel,” which had reigned for just one week. Oscar-winner “Green Book” also opened impressively, placing third.
“Dragon” earned $33 million, according to data from exhibition and distribution consultancy Artisan Gateway, having opened on some 10,000 screens. That was Universal’s third-biggest debut weekend for an animated film, and the third-largest a for DreamWorks Animation title in China, behind “Kung Fu Panda” Parts 2 and 3.
“Alita” dropped by 62% from its opening weekend to score $24 million. The performance was enough to lift it to a 10-day cumulative of $113 million.
The Imax China network grossed a combined total of $4.3 million, with about $2.4 million from “Alita” and $2 million for “Dragon 3.”
The weekend’s surprise was “Green Book,” which defied conventional wisdom that Chinese audiences don’t warm to films with black leading actors and scored $17.4 million.
