After the success of Dreamworks' How to Train Your Dragon and How to Train Your Dragon 2, many are expecting to see another franchise of the movie; the How to Train Your Dragon 3.
But unfortunately an unexpected news came out that it will not be released on 2016.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 remains one of the best-reviewed films of the 2014 Summer Movie Season in the absence of Pixars' new movie release.
Though, according to SRU Podcast of 2014 Summer Movie Awards edition, the 2nd sequel, Dragon 2, didn't seem to make as strong impact on the public as certain as other summer releases did. The 3D animated series also suffered an important drop-off at the U.S. box office, gathering only $174 that the $216 take of How to Train Your Dragon in 2010. (It's notable that ticket prices slightly uptick, the number of 3D screenings available increases, and it has been 4 years before Dragon released its sequel.
The How to Train Your Dragon franchise is lightly based on the English book series by Cressida Cowell, which also consists of four short films: Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon (2010), Book of Dragons (2011), Gift of the Night Fury (2011) and Dawn of the Dragon Racers (2014), and television series, Dragons: Riders of Berk, began airing on Cartoon Network in September 2012. Its second season was renamed Dragons: Defenders of Berk.
The franchise follows the adventures of a young Viking named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of Stoick the Vast, leader of the Viking island of Berk. Although in the beginning he was a clumsy and underweight misfit, he soon becomes distinguished as a courageous expert in dragons, beginning with Toothless, a member of the rare Night Fury breed as his flying mount and his closest companion. Together with his friends, he manages the village's allied dragon population in defense of his home as leader of a flying corps of dragon riders.
Dean DeBlois, the director of the trilogy, described its story as "Hiccup's coming of age," taking a span of five years between the first and second film, while explaining why dragons no longer exist.
No more How to Train Your Dragon 3 on 2016 but on 2017. The animated movie is scheduled to be released on theaters June 9, 2017, which is the same date that Pixar has claimed for the Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory.
