>They all made money
This is hollywood. Take the budget, double it, and add 50 million dollars and then you have an accurate idea of the true budget. To be "profitable" the reported boxoffice needs to be at least 3X the budget. For example, Sherman and Mr.Peabody had a budget of "150 million", made 300 million, but dreamworks still lost 57 million making the movie.
Known flops of the last two years are : Home, Penguins of Madagascar, Sherman and Mr. Peabody, Turbo, Rise of the Guardians.
Only The Croods and HTTYD were profitable.
Related note: I like to watch movies and often go to wikipedia to check out the budget and earnings of a movie after catching it.
As of now, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguins_of_Madagascar says:
Budget: $132 million Box office: $312.5 million
