“How to Train Your Dragon” reclaimed the top spot at the North American box office, outperforming newcomers “Elio” and “28 Years Later.” Pixar’s “Elio,” with a disappointing $21 million opening, marked the studio’s worst debut. "28 Years Later" debuted at $30 million, exceeding expectations within the zombie franchise. Despite a strong start for "How to Train Your Dragon", overall box office numbers show a slight decline compared to last year, leaving summer releases like "F1" and "Jurassic World: Rebirth" to boost revenue.
