When Will How To Train Your Dragon Release On Streaming?
The Movie Should Land On Peacock Later This Year
As it’s a Universal Pictures release,theHow to Train Your Dragonremake will go to Peacock when it releases on streaming.Those with a subscription will be able to watch the movie without any additional fees from the comfort of their own home, though it may be a few months before it becomes available. Last year, the average number of days between DreamWorks' theatrical runs kicking off and their streaming debuts was 112 days, so we should expect something similar withHow to Train Your Dragon.
This means thatDreamworks' latest outing will probably come to streaming in late September or early October.However, ifHow To Train Your Dragonperforms especially well at the box officeand receives an extended theatrical run, it could be even longer before the movie lands on Peacock. But this simply incentivizes audiences to watch the movie as intended: on the biggest screen possible.
Audiences Can Purchase The Film For Themselves Next Month
Typically,DreamWorks has a fairly quick turnaround for digital release dates. Last year, the studio took just 25 days, on average, to allow audiences to purchase new movies at home following their theatrical release. If the studio follows a similar trend this year,How to Train Your Dragoncould be available on digital as early as July.
Again, much of this depends on how well the live-action remake performs at the box office, as Universal Pictures may want to keep it on the big screen for longer.How to Train Your Dragonis clearly a movie that’s been designed with theatrical experience in mind, with its staggering visual effects and sensational set pieces, so it wouldn’t be surprising if audiences rallied around the film on its opening weekend. Theinitial trailers forHow to Train Your Dragondisplayed just how captivating the film’s visuals will be, and that’s going to be a huge draw for audiences to get to the cinemas.
