Now don't get me wrong, Hiccup's relationship with Stoick is important, but it's definite...

<t>I know that fans like to think the franchise is primarily about Hiccup and Toothless' friendship, but it was actually more about Stoick and Hiccup until the former met his untimely end.

What if they find more Night Furies, but Drago kills them somehow? Well, it might satisfy those craving a sad ending.

<t>- More Valka and Cloudjumper. They're obviously close, having been together for 20 years, but HTTYD 2 kind of glossed over their relationship.<br/> <br/> - The details of Gobber's "other reason".<br/> <br/> - Toothless feeling guilt over what happened to Stoick.<br/> <br/> - No generic or predict...

<t>The break-even point, or when it starts to turn a profit, is about $400 million worldwide (give or take a bit depending on what percentage of the total gross is domestic vs. overseas).
