DreamWorks Animation SKG Announces

Filing of Registration Statement

Glendale, California—November 15, 2006—DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (NYSE: DWA) announced today that it has filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the follow-on secondary offering triggered by an entity controlled by Paul Allen. The registration statement covers up to $330 million of shares of Class A common stock to be sold by affiliates of Paul Allen, Lee Entertainment L.L.C. and Viacom Inc. (or on their behalf). The offering will result in the allocation of shares in the partnership established at the time of the Company’s initial public offering among entities controlled by Paul Allen, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and others. None of the Company, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg or David Geffen will be selling any shares in the offering, and the Company will not receive any proceeds from the offering. The timing and consummation of the offering is subject to market conditions and other customary factors. For a complete description of the partnership arrangement, please see the Company’s 2006 Proxy Statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2006.

The Company also announced that its latest CG animated film, Flushed Away, which had its domestic theatrical release on November 3, 2006, has grossed approximately $40 million in domestic box office receipts through November 12th. The film has been released in several small foreign theatrical markets and is scheduled for release in France on November 29, 2006, in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2006 and subsequently in other foreign markets. The Company has capitalized approximately $142.9 million in film inventory costs associated with the film (which amount does not include potential contingent compensation and residual payments for the film). The Company stated that based on the domestic box office receipts to date and the historical correlation between domestic box office results for a film and that film’s ultimate revenues, the Company currently anticipates that it will be required to record a write-down of film inventory for Flushed Away in the quarter ending December 31, 2006. The Company is currently unable to predict the ultimate amount of such write-down, which could be material, as it will depend upon a variety of factors, including domestic and international theatrical results, revenues related to worldwide free and pay television, worldwide home video sales, as well as distribution and marketing costs in the theatrical and home video markets (which costs are expected to be significant).

Over the Hedge was released on October 17, 2006 into the home video market. The title, which has been released in the domestic market and a few international territories, has performed consistently with the Company’s general expectations in the early weeks of initial home video release. Over the Hedge will be released in the remaining international territories, including several of the most significant ones, over the next couple of months. The home video performance of the title will depend on a number of factors including increased competition from new family home video titles as the holiday season approaches.
