In Theaters: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 3, FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY, THE CHANGEOVER and RUN THE RACE

Universal and DreamWorks Animation's threequel "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" is now in theaters and looks primed to explode at the box-office. The film has received a very enthusiastic response from both critics and moviegoers and has already brought in $3 million from Thursday night previews, and pundits expect it to finish its opening weekend with around $50 million.

Meanwhile, the well received wrestling biopic "Fighting With My Family" executive produced by Dwayne Johnson that stars Florence Pugh as WWE Superstar Paige, has expanded nationwide.

In limited release it might be worth checking out the supernatural thriller "The Changeover" based on Margaret Mahy's fantasy novel of the same name, and the faith-based sports drama "Run the Race".
