Jeff Katzenberg: 'Turbo' Will Be Profitable
deadline.com – It’s a low bar. But the projection by the DreamWorks Animation CEO in a conference call with analysts should reassure investors who feared that the company would have to record an impairment charge for its summer release about a snail who dreams about becoming a speedster. The film, which cost about $127M to produce, has generated about $246.1M from worldwide box offices — far below early expectations.
