Tuesday, June 18, 11:24 AM DreamWorks Animation (DWA +1.9%) signs a multi-year deal with German broadcaster RTL to produce animated TV shows. Under the agreement, the company will supply the leading children's TV channel in the nation with a steady stream of shows based on characters from its franchises. Comment! [Consumer]
Monday, June 17, 2:39 PM Out with the old. The Netflix-DreamWorks Animation deal signals an important change in the way content is distributed, according to industry watchers The most important part of the deal is that it focus on exclusive fresh content for Netflix (NFLX +6.8%) from DreamWorks (DWA +4%) - instead of just filling up a library with older titles. The big picture: A bidding war for new films from Hollywood studios (LGF, SNE, VIA, CMCSA, DIS) could help the industry maximize profits. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg called it (I, II) last week when they predicted giant upheaval for the film industry. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, June 17, 6:41 AM Netflix (NFLX) signs a multi-year deal with DreamWorks Animation (DWA) for new original series to air on the streaming service. The new shows will include characters inspired by Dreamworks Animation's franchises. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, June 13, 3:39 PM The glass half full: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg weren't sounding the death knell for the movie industry when they warned of an implosion but a paradigm shift away from multiplex theaters (CKEC, CNK, IMAX, RGC). When the day comes when mega-budget films from top studios (CMCSA, DIS, TWX, LGF, SNE, DWA) bomb at the box office, look for new mediums at home to emerge as first-run options. "There has never been more exciting potential," notes Spielberg. (video) 4 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, June 12, 6:14 PM Sterne Agee starts coverage on AMC Networks (AMCX) and Discovery (DISCA) with a Buy after the close. and on DreamWorks (DWA) with an Underperform. AMCX +2% AH. Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, May 31, 9:14 AM A booming box office in China has major film studios (SNE, VIAB, CMCSA, LGF, TWX) catering more than ever to Chinese audiences. While passing censors in China was once the focus for U.S. film producers, now scripts are being edited not to offend. Dreamworks Animation (DWA) CEO Jeffery Katzenberg on the trend: "We used to blacklist screenwriters for being communists. Now we’re taking script notes from a communist government." 1 Comment [Consumer]
Sunday, May 5, 11:56 AM Box office roundup: 1) Revenue continues to pour in at a breakneck pace for Disney's (DIS) Iron Man 3. Early estimates for the movie's opening U.S. weekend are for a $170M haul (vs. ~$150M consensus) to push global sales for the film to over $360M. 2) Keep an eye on IMAX (IMAX). The company is seeing the percentage of moviegoers in the U.S. choosing to see big tentpole films in the big-screen format increase - including an impressive 10% this weekend for Iron Man 3. 3) Analysts at Cowen and Co. think Warner Bros. (TWX) could have a big summer with The Hangover Part III and The Great Gatsby set up to beat estimates while they warn DreamWorks Animation (DWA) could struggle with 3D computer-animated film Turbo facing serious competition. 4 Comments [Consumer]
Friday, May 3, 10:33 AM The slow start to the movie season could get a jumpstart from the 22 big-budget films slated for the summer months - compared to the 15 +$100M budget films last summer. Though the industry could make up some ground with theater revenue down 12% Y/Y so far, the crowded schedule will also pressure studios to increase their marketing spending and could leave a few of them with +$150M losses on flops to pass on to their parent companies (SNE, VIAB, CMCSA, LGF, TWX, DWA) . Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, May 1, 9:56 AM DreamWorks Animation (DWA +2.5%) confirms it will buy YouTube network AwesomenessTV and bring its 14M subscribers on board. The company says it will pay $33M for the property and make contingent payments based on earnings targets. (Previous on DWA earnings: I, II) Comment! [Consumer, M&A]

Tuesday, April 30, 7:45 PM More on DreamWorks Animation (DWA): Q1 beats across the board, masking a 39% Y/Y drop in net profit as the computer-animation studio's overhead costs grew and revenue edged lower. Separately, reports are circulating that the company is close to buying AwesomenessTV, a YouTube network aimed at teens and tweens. The network was launched last June after rounding up $3.5M in funding and has nearly 500K subscribers and generated more than 80M video views last month. Shares +6.8% AH. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move, M&A]
