Since DreamWorks Animation got snapped up by Universal, it seems several films have been cancelled. So what's actually happening?
If we imagine that the acquisition of Pixar by Disney was some kind of seismic shift for the Emeryville animation house, then Dreamworks Animation, by comparison, must be living in the red-hot cradle of a hyperactive volcano.
Animated films take so long, from concept to production to release, that recent Dreamworks titles are making their eventual escape from a corporate context which bears little relation to where they were conceived.
The Croods is a particularly good example. It was, originally, going to be a stop-motion film produced at Aardman with a screenplay by John Cleese. Without it ever being cancelled outright, this project continued to evolve, as Dreamworks twisted and turned like a kaleidoscope around it, in to the final product. The plot was different. The characters were different.

We present another industry report on the South Korean Cinema.
Overview
During May more than 11 million people attended the South Korean cinemas, resulting in sales over 128 million dollars. Foreign Films manage to get most of the industry (65.49 %) getting more than 7 million spectators, Korean Films only manage to get almost 4 million spectators. Foreign Films got sales for almost $90 million dollars and national films gather almost $40 million dollars on ticket sales.
Taking into account the numbers obtain this month with the ones from 2014 we can see that there is a small increase of the industry. Usually the industry starts to get better numbers after May because the South Korean production companies start to release their best movies near August. The total number of admissions grew 5.06% reaching almost 18 million admissions. The Korean Films reach only 5.5 million spectators while the Foreign Films gather almost 12 million admissions this is because of the release of highly...
