...recent, but the other items could be the recipe for any of the DreamWorks films that have entertained vast audiences over the past decade. The studio's three Shrek movies have earned $2.2 billion at the worldwide box office. Include the last seven capers made at its California headquarters - Shark Tale, Madagascar and its sequel, Over the Hedge, Bee Movie, Kung Fu Panda and Monsters vs Aliens - and the 10-pack has a $5.3 billion global gross. That's just a smidge under the $5.6 billion taken in by all 10 of the features produced by DreamWorks' rival, Pixar...
...least Oscar voters seem to think so. Nine years ago, when the award for Best Animated Feature was established, DreamWorks got the first one, for Shrek. Since then, Katzenberg's products have been shut out (the studio distributed one Oscar winner, Nick Park's veddy English Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit), while Pixar has taken five: Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL•E and Up. This year, DreamWorks' perky Monsters vs Aliens was not even one of the five finalists. "Each year I do one DreamWorks project," actor Jack Black told the crowd...

The Greek-myth epic topped the previous best Easter weekend entry, 2006's Scary Movie 4, by about 50%. (Clash's $135 million budget was three times as high as SM4's.) But the movie earned about $10 million less than Fast and Furious, which opened on this (non-Easter) weekend last year...
According to Pepper, yoga classes—formerly held in the Dance Studio—will resume on Monday and have been moved to the Mousehole, another oddly named room in Currier. Dancers who usually rehearse in the Dance Studio can contact Pepper to have their rehearsals moved there as well...
