Exhibition giant Cinemark Holdings on Wednesday unveiled its third-quarter financial results, posting lower revenue and earnings compared to a year ago.
Cinemark saw total revenue fall 7 percent to $857.5 million, against overall revenue of $921.8 million in 2024. Admissions revenue during the latest quarter was $427.7 million, down from a year-earlier $460.4 million, while concession revenue came to $336.7 million, short of the $367.3 million posted in the same period of 2024.
The latest financial results for Cinemark for the three months to Sept. 30, 2025 came amid a flat summer box office at the local multiplex that fell short of lofty hopes from the major studios and exhibitors coming out of the pandemic era. That’s even with Warner Bros.’s F1: The Movie and Superman playing on theatrical screens.
Net income at Cinemark for the third quarter came to $50.5 million, down sharply from a year-earlier $189 million when the company had recorded a $42.7 million tax benefit. Cinemark’s third-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), another profitability metric, fell to $177.6 million, compared to a year-earlier $220.5 million.
Sean Gamble, Cinemark’s president and CEO, in a statement, said his company “is well-positioned to continue thriving as we move forward based on our many distinctive advantages, the unparalleled value proposition we offer consumers, the ongoing initiatives we are advancing, and further improvements that are expected in film release volume, scale, and variety.”
After the Hollywood box office plunged in October, Gamble added Cinemark was “enthusiastic about a strong finish to 2025 that is supported by one of the most robust and diverse holiday film slates we have seen in recent history.”
