Cinemark 4Q Profit Falls After Movie Slate Disappoints

Dow Jones

Feb 18

By Nicholas G. Miller

Cinemark reported lower fourth-quarter profit, likely weighed down by a marquee movie slate that drew lower-than-expected ticket sales.

The company posted net income of $34.1 million, or 16 cents a share, down from $51.3 million, or 33 cents a share the year prior. Analysts polled by FactSet expected 26 cents a share.

Revenue fell 4.7% to $776.3 million. Wall Street expected $774.4 million.

Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey said in a note last month that the quarter's marquee film releases disappointed at the box office, which likely weighed on Cinemark's sales compared with prior-year holiday successes.

Chief Executive Sean Gamble said that despite a "softer-than-anticipated film slate," the company in 2025 achieved "box office performance that surpassed industry benchmarks, incremental market share gains, record-level proceeds from enhanced formats and non-traditional content, and all-time high concession sales and per caps."
