LOS ANGELES — It was another photo finish at the weekend box office, with the No. 1 spot too close to call between the animated adventure “How to Train Your Dragon” and the superhero comedy “Kick-Ass.”
Paramount reported Sunday that DreamWorks Animation’s “Dragon” took in $20 million, while “Kick-Ass” distributor Lionsgate said its movie debuted at $19.75 million. With just $250,000 separating them, either could end up at No. 1 when studios release final weekend numbers today.
The No. 3 spot also was close, with “Date Night” and “Death at a Funeral” each pulling in around $17 million. The Associated Press
