I remember in 2014 people were talking about how Dreamworks was going to go under, with all of their expensive sequel flops and new IPs that looked unappealing.  How times have changed.

Ah, I remember that vividly. 

 

Now they're as formidable as ever.

That is some solid progress. Talked to the theater and they are gonna add more showings. They are tracking for the 7:00pm Ultra Screen to sell out easily.

Not to mention DWA is playing smart moves by outsourcing some of their films like Underpants so they can have $60M-$80M budgets.

Prepare for Illumination film sized numbers once Universal takes control.

 

Idk.  Dreamworks is weird.  Their appealing and fresh looking concepts/films flop, and their trash ideas that look like they belong on a bad cartoon channel do great.

Remember the good looking ones got shitty marketing or had a too soon TV series which may've caused diminished grosses. However considering how Universal (like Disney and WB) are excellent/non stop marketers, I wouldn't be surprised if they started to have $200M+ domestic grossers again.

I still wouldn't say they're doing as well as their peak years.  

 

From Shrek to The Croods they didn't have a Miss besides Flushed Away, and they consistently made films that adjusted over 200m.

 

None of the properties Dreamworks have done lately are able to spawn franchises like Shrek or Madagascar

Yeah. The earlier part of the decade was a bit of a rut for them though. I'll give them some more time.

So you're saying the latter will find Illumination sized success because they'll fit right in wile the fresh looking concepts and films might still flop. :rock:
