Falling two spots was the second Warner Bros. film of the top ten, F1: The Movie, which dropped from third to fifth this weekend, where it took in $9.6 million for the studio. This brings the film’s four-week total to $153.6 million.

Falling two spots to land in sixth place this weekend, How to Train Your Dragon made $5.4 million for Universal Pictures International over the last three days to lift the film’s six-week total to $250.7 million.
