The stock price fell 4.2% to $23.44 today after a second lower-than-expected weekend for How To Train Your Dragon 2, for a 16.2% drop since the Friday before the film opened. Dragon 2 generated $25.3M at domestic box offices, down 49% from its opening weekend, for a total of $95.1M. With this trajectory, the film “will likely miss our 6-week est. of $230M,” Wells Fargo’s Marci Ryvicker says. B. Riley’s Eric Wold cut his domestic forecast by 36% to $175M, and his international by 20% to $400M. As a result, the analyst trimmed his target price for DreamWorks Animation shares from $37 to $32. He cut his revenue estimate for the company’s current fiscal year by 5.5%, and cash flow forecast by 14.8% to $109M. Even so, Wold says that “international trends are too early to call and could surprise to the upside.”
