Quite old one but there is also worth nothing solution using Doctrine2: postGenerateSchema event listener - for me it's better than overriding Doctrine classes:

namespace AppBundle\EventListener;

use Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Event\GenerateSchemaEventArgs;

/**
 * IgnoreTablesListener class
 */
class IgnoreTablesListener
{
    private $ignoredTables = [
        'table_name_to_ignore',
    ];

    public function postGenerateSchema(GenerateSchemaEventArgs $args)
    {
        $schema = $args->getSchema();

        $tableNames = $schema->getTableNames();
        foreach ($tableNames as $tableName) {

            if (in_array($tableName, $this->ignoredTables)) {
                // remove table from schema
                $schema->dropTable($tableName);
            }

        }
    }

}

Also register listener:

ignore_tables_listener:
    class: AppBundle\EventListener\IgnoreTablesListener
    tags:
        - {name: doctrine.event_listener, event: postGenerateSchema }

No extra hooks is necessary.
