The problem is, Madagascar has a built in audience (though the Penguin movie did very week business, on the plus side it didn't seem to affect the superior Big Hero 6 much) while Guardians is a weird premise and based on a series of books no one has read or heard of. A shame, since they're written by William Joyce, who has a second career in animation (did some of the concept drawings for Robots and Meet the Robinsons). Plus, it's getting more and more obvious the Thanksgiving Weekend movie period isn't as strong as it used to be. Peabody and Sherman did so so. Mainly because it's a very American cartoon, despite the Mexican animation. Though I have no proof that it did well in Latin American Markets, the Happy Meal toys managed to get released there and some parts of Europe, so I guess that's where the movie did any international business. It made back its budget, anyway.I thought Peabody did well.....sadly Rise of the Guardians failed. I"m sorry to say this guys, but I wish movies like Madagascar 3 or whatever flopped instead, because as good as Madagascar 3 was if it failed it wouldn't stop them from making more animated comedies, the failure of Guardians meant no more movies like it in the future.
I've never known that to happen.Dreamworks never really had a self sustaining company, and always needed to partner with another company. Be it Universal, Viacom, or Fox (which I'd say is doing the wost job of the bunch).
300 million domestically, the only movies to make 300 mllion or above domestically were Shrek 2 ($441 million) and Shrek the Third ($322 million), so ya not much.You gotta love Dreamworks.
Movie makes over 300 Million domestically on a 130 budget and it's still considered a failure. How much do they blow on marketing? I'm starting to think their idiotic bookkeeping is what's making them lose money. A true box office bomb doesn't make back its budget at all. I've seen films considered successful when making change.
Here's hoping Home does well.
