- DreamWorks Animation (NASDAQ:DWA) has a lot riding on this weekend's opening of How to Train Your Dragon 2 after recent high-profile misfires from the studio.
- Analysts see an opening weekend box office take of between $60M and $70M.
- What to watch: Dragon 2 also opens in 20 international markets this weekend, and even more over the next week, where it will compete with the FIFA World Cup for attention.
