DreamWorks Animation's Performance

The AP and others project DWA's financial performance (due out next week):

DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. ... reports its third-quarter earnings after the market closes on Tuesday. ... $500 million in international box office receipts for ["Shrek Forever After"] may boost results, according to Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter. ...

"How to Train Your Dragon" came out in the home video market in mid-October and was the top purchase in the U.S. in the week of its release ... Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters forecast a profit of 35 cents per share on revenue of $163 million. DreamWorks has said 2010 will be its best year ever ...

"MegaMind" gets a wide release on November 5th, two weeks ahead of the newest "Harry Potter" and three weeks ahead of "Tangled." If "Mega" has a big opening weekend, that will give DWA bragging rights to three animated hits inside of a year.

And if it doesn't...their purse-strings will be forever tied in the ex-Disney-Ringer Dragons.
