Cineplex’s third quarter Box Office Per Patron exceeded $14.00 for the first time in the Company’s history as moviegoers increasingly chose premium formats to enhance their theatrical experience. Premium formats accounted for over 50 percent of third quarter box office revenues, marking a third quarter record for the Company.Elevated attendance and increased guest engagement throughout the quarter also contributed to the highest quarterly Theatre Food Service revenue in Cineplex history.“The consistency of our performance over the past several quarters, including a record-setting third quarter, reflect the appeal of the theatrical experience and Cineplex’s ability to deliver the immersive environment consumers are increasingly seeking,” said Bill Walker, Chief Executive Officer, Cineplex. “Consumers continue to respond to a broad range of films and show a willingness to spend their out-of-home entertainment dollars in a movie theatre, particularly when paired with premium experiences. With a highly anticipated film slate for the remainder of the year, supported by outstanding advance ticket sales for Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three, we have tremendous confidence in the strength of the theatrical pipeline and the opportunities ahead.”This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Cineplex (TSX:CGX) is a top-tier Canadian brand that operates in the Film Entertainment and Content, Amusement and Leisure, and Media sectors.
