You would think that would be positive news, but investors are deserting the stock in droves because they were hoping for a better than 50% improvement. It seems like investors are unrealistic sometimes. |

In 2001 Shrek made (domestic+foreign) $267,665,011+ $216,744,207= $484,409,218 In 2004 Shrek 2 made $441,226,247+ $478,612,511= $919,838,758 In 2010 "How to Train Your Dragon" made $217,581,231+ $277,297,528= $494,878,759 So investors were convinced that HTTYD#2 would do something similar. It's sort of a shame, since it was well reviewed and it will make over $600m. It's hard to view that as a failure. I guess the company was hoping for something stupendous since Mr Peabody did not do very well for that kind of movie. Mr. Peabody & Sherman $110,672,868+ $157,287,017= $267,959,885 |
