Cinemark has hit the $1 billion total revenue milestone for the first time ever in a second quarter.
The exhibition giant disclosed the figure in its earnings report as CEO Sean Gamble praised Hollywood studios for delivering a “compelling slate of films.”
The theater chain saw overall revenues hit $1.09 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 15.5 percent from year-ago revenues of $940.5 million as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Michael, Toy Story 5, and breakout horror pics like Obsession and Backrooms played across its circuit.
Admissions revenue jumped to a record $540 million, compared to a year-earlier $467.1 million, while concession revenue also hit a quarterly record of $433.3 million, against $377.7 million in the same period of 2025. The record results came as the multiplex continues to see a box office recovery on a more diverse and sustained supply of movies from the Hollywood studios.
“We commend our sensational team for their outstanding execution, and we applaud our studio partners for delivering such a fulsome and compelling slate of films that meaningfully connected with audiences throughout the quarter,” Cinemark CEO Sean Gamble said in a statement on Thursday.
