The company reported a profit of $10.2 million to end the calendar year, compared with a loss of $21.8 million in late 2021. The results were equivalent to 16 cents per diluted share or 34 cents per diluted share a year earlier.The “Avatar” sequel and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” were bright spots in the period, which faced a drought of new movies and moviegoers.
While some moviegoers are willing to pay for more expensive nights out, Jacob said lowering the cost of tickets might make sense in other instances, though it would depend on the Hollywood title. While Jacob didn’t rule out a similar move at Cineplex, he said it’s not something the company is looking at right now and that he intends to be “very careful” when considering such models.
