The next upcoming slates after KFP3, are interesting to predict:

 

 

Trolls: It's a tough one compared to how other latest originals did WW & in China. Mr.Peabody & Sherman did $19M in China and $273M WW....Home did better than that, but a little bit to $27M in China and further to nearly $387M WW. But since it's a smaller budget with $120M and China's markets are still growing....I think it could do a bit better than Home, WW-wise...but nowhere near what KFP3 will do. And Moana could take a bit of the kiddie-audience. I'll say somewhere around $430-500M WW. It depends on how strong the "Trolls" brand is. We saw one have an appearance in "Toy Story".

 

 

The Croods 2: The first one was a surprising hit in March 2013. Earning around $587M WW and those $63M came from China. Did better than HTTYD1. Since this one comes out in December around Christmas...chances are that this one could have better legs. WW-wise...there is no doubt at all, about a WW-increase for the sequel. I'm gonna say $720-810M WW. That's based on how the legs in December could be, and the goodwill from the first one.

 

 

HTTYD3: And then we get to the big one, HTTYD3. The last film, HTTYD2, while increased over the first one, WW-wise.....did not beat it DOM. In a competitive summer last year, however....people seemed to love it as much as the first one. This one is pretty hard to exactly call. It will increase over HTTYD2, WW. DOM?...maybe. It could either go in the middle or be a bit above HTTYD1. WW...I'm gonna say...$800-920M WW.

 

 

I might be crazy & wrong on these films...but they could go either way. Either stay flat or breakout.

 

 

Boss Baby & Captain Underpants?....I dunno yet.

DreamWorks Animation is moving into live action television:

 

Quote

“Television has quickly grown into one of our most successful businesses and, as the demand for kids and co-viewing content continues to rise, extending the DreamWorks Animation brand to live-action TV in a strategic and financially disciplined way will spur even further growth,” said Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation. “Katie’s proven track record of developing hit live-action television programming, coupled with her success in quickly building television businesses from the ground up, makes her the perfect executive to lead us into this new genre.”

 

“Our move into live-action will enable DWA to further capitalize on the evolving television landscape by creating new opportunities on both traditional and emerging platforms for our branded series,” said Ann Daly, President of DreamWorks Animation. “Moreover, live action will give us yet another creative lens with which to explore our library of rich storytelling and memorable characters that have resonated with audiences for the past two decades.”

Home's surprise success and KFP3 being big OS should put them back above water at least. But then Trolls is likely to be a bomb in that release slot, since next holiday is the most over-crowded ever for the family audience. And Croods 2 is a giant question mark. Still not sure about there being any real sequel demand for that one, especially if there wasn't for Dragon 2. 

 

The television branching is probably smart, since their upcoming animated feature slate is still pretty risky overall.

Looks like DreamWorks Animation solidly beat analyst forecasts for the top and bottom lines, sending the share price soaring more than 10% in initial post-market trading. The studio reported net income of $42.1 million in Q4, up from a $263.2 million loss in the year end period for 2014 which included several one-time charges, on revenues of $319.3 million, up 36.3%.

 

The revenue number was well ahead of the $274.0 million that analysts expected. Reported net earnings at 48 cents a share topped forecasts for 16 cents.

 

The studio delivered its best top line result in 11 years, CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg says. He reaffirmed DWA’s “commitment to profitably grow our businesses while keeping a sharp eye on cost management and productivity improvements. While there is still much work to be done before we cross the goal line on the objectives we shared a year ago, we enter 2016 with considerable momentum.”
