kowhite Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Is Dreamworks Animation even part of Dreamworks still? What do you mean by "spin off"?They are separate companies. DW animation is a public company...Dreamworks Live Action is a separate company, not public and simply not run by the same people.Honestly maybe it wasn't a bad idea...no reason to saddle DW Animation with that dead weight.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) DWA is run by Katzenberg; Dreamworks belongs to Speiberg and others. The two have no connection any more except sharing the same logo. Dreamworks and DWA, which worth more right now ?

kowhite Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Doesn't Spielberg have something to do with Dreamworks anymore? I wonder if Spielberg would have made Harry Potter at Dreamworks Animation....Yes, Spielberg is still very much part of Dreamworks. He's got a piece of every movie they make.That's not necessarily a good thing for Dreamworks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitik Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 So, the numbers we have are 7 hours old. Which will change the most when we get an update? Carrie, Escape Plan, Fifth Estate, Gravity, or Captain Phillips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Katzenberg knew where they were making their money.Well, where they could make their most money. They need to be careful, stuff like Turbo doesn't help.DWA is hit and miss but I agree they need to be careful especially as they'll be releasing three films a year which I fear may lead to oversaturation in animation. Even though they've got costs down, they're still making animated films for $130m and the likes of Illumination, Sony and Blue Sky have been making films with more success for less than $100m. They've been diversifying with TV shows, online and live entertainment so they aren't solely relying on films to keep them afloat.They are separate companies. DW animation is a public company...Dreamworks Live Action is a separate company, not public and simply not run by the same people.Honestly maybe it wasn't a bad idea...no reason to saddle DW Animation with that dead weight.I wonder if Katzenberg would consider buying Dreamworks Studios so they could start doing live action family films although I imagine it'd be cheaper to establish a live Action division at DWA, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'd go with Gravity or Carrie...Gravity up, Carrie down...maybe 12 Years...up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Starting next year, Dreamworks animation is going full retard with 3 movies per year in 2014,2015,2016. The CGI animation market is getting ridiculously crowded. Pixar will release 2 movies every two year, plus Illumination + Blue Sky + Disney Animation + Sony Animation etc etc etc Look what happened to Turbo this year ...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 DWA, easy. DWA worth $2.35B at the moment in stock. http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/dwa Shame that Dreamworks SKG could have become one of the big 7 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhite Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I wonder if Katzenberg would consider buying Dreamworks Studios so they could start doing live action family films although I imagine it'd be cheaper to establish a live Action division at DWA,They don't need regular DW to do live action though. In fact, they'll probably go there without them. Largely off their Classic Media acquisition. Heck they are probably the only company to actually profit off The Lone Ranger cause of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
