The live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon is on pace to bring in $80-$100 million at the US box office when it releases on June 13, according to projections. Combine that with the mega hit that has been the live-action Lilo & Stitch (the second highest-grossing movie of the year in the US after nearly three weeks in theaters), and live-action remakes of animated movies aren't likely going anywhere.
In fact, we already know that DreamWorks is planning to continue with the trend, as a How to Train Your Dragon 2 live-action movie is already in the works.
