DreamWorks Is At An All-Time Box Office Low (But Its Next 2 Movies Will Save It)

Although the movies of DreamWorks have grossed over $16 billion worldwide, the studio has had more losses than hits in the 2020s — but two upcoming movies could save it. DreamWorks, once a titan of the animated film industry, is renowned for creating some of the best animated movie franchises. When Shrek first roared into theaters in 2001, it not only set the tone for the studio’s distinctive style but also brought in an astounding $491 million globally (via The Numbers). The Shrek franchise has grossed over $4 billion in total, and that figure is only going to get bigger given that the Puss in Boots: The Last Wish ending sets up Shrek 5.
