Universal’s live action take of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon is eyeing around $8M-$9M in previews, which not only includes tonight’s monies but those from early fan access screenings.

The release of the live action How To Train Your Dragon is hitting theaters, and there’s every possible reason for optimism. Reviews are over the top positive. Box office expectations are really high, and most importantly, we just got word we’re getting a collaboration between the beloved franchise and Loungefly.

Hiccup and Toothless are readying to fire up the box office.
