How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, the finale and third installment of the franchise, will open across domestic theaters, including around 600 installed with IMAX screens, on March 1, around one week after its United States' release.

In the upcoming film, Hiccup, the fictional underdog-turned-leader of a Viking village realizes his dream to create a peaceful utopia for dragons.

And more importantly, Toothless, Hiccup's best and powerful dragon friend, is in love in the new chapter.

Meanwhile, the Mandarin version features the voice of pop idol Liu Haoran, best known for the blockbuster franchise Detective Chinatown, as Hiccup.

The character was dubbed by actor Lin Gengxin in the second installment, How to Train Your Dragon 2, which grossed 403 million yuan ($60 million) to top the animated films' box office charts in China in 2014.

As of Wednesday, How to Train Your Dragon 3 has raked in a presale revenue sum of 12 million yuan to top the country's box-office charts on Friday.
