How to Train Your Dragon 2 will have to face another blockbuster sequel, 22 Jump Street, at the US box office this weekend, as the summer film season gets into full swing.
Dragon reunites the main characters from 2010’s first film but adds a host of new colorful flame-breathing beasts in a 3D spectacular that DreamWorks Animation hopes will enthrall family filmgoers.
Jump Street meanwhile has Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum back together as an unlikely pair of undercover drug agents, two years after 21 Jump Street brought the original TV series to the big screen.
While teens and older audiences could swarm to see the R-rated comedy from Friday night, it will be children and their parents flocking to watch the PG-rated Dragon over the weekend.
