Here's something that might momentarily pause the rush to 3D: The well-reviewed DreamWorks/Paramount flick How to Train Your Dragon performed at the low end of expectations yesterday with a $12 million take, owing perhaps to the stubborn stranglehold that #2 Alice in Wonderland still has on 3D screens. In the third spot was Hot Tub Time Machine with a modest $4.85 million. Were you to travel back to the 80s with that number and factor in higher ticket prices and inflation...well, you don't want to know. Full figures after the jump:
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: $12,000,000 (new)
ALICE IN WONDERLAND: $4,900,000 ($280,000,000)
