For the second quarter ending June 30, DreamWorks reported a net income of $61.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, on revenues of $222.5 million. That is a 342 percent increase over the net income of $13.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, on revenues of $74.9 million for the same reporting period in 2006.
