‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ Marks A Turning Point

While Disney has done follow-ups to their live-action remakes, movies like Alice Through the Looking Glass, Maleficent: Mistress of Eviland Mufasa: The Lion King Were Original Stories and Underperformed Compared to their Predecessors. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is the first time one of these live-action remakes has gotten a sequel that is also a remake itself. This means audiences are going into the sequel with a certain level of knowledge and expectations, particularly How to Train Your Dragon 2 Being considered one of the best animated sequels ever made.

If How to Train Your Dragon Were to somehow bomb at the box office, Universal pictures could pull the plug on the sequel, but all signs point to the movie Being moderately profitable.

While Disney has been enjoyed 15 Years of Live-Action Remakes, to Mixed Box Office Success, How to Train Your Dragon and its upcoming sequel might market a new era where Universal Pictures Might Mine Dreamworks’ Animated Library for Live-Action Films. Films like Trolls or Kung fu panda Might not lend themselves to live-action remakes, but it would not be shocking for universal pictures to announce remakes of movies like Megamind or Samples vs. Aliens In the near future.
