Cinemark swung to a loss and saw revenue decline in its latest quarter, reflecting less spending from moviegoers who saw fewer movies to start the year.
The movie-theater chain swung to a loss of $38.9 million, or 32 cents a share, compared to net income of $24.8 million, or 19 cents a share, in the prior-year period. Analysts polled by FactSet expected a loss of 32 cents a share.
Revenue declined to $540.7 million from $579.2 million. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $524.3 million.
Attendance declined nearly 8% to 36.6 million moviegoers for the first three months of 2025.
Admissions revenue decreased nearly 9% to $264.1 million from a year earlier, while concessions revenue decreased around 6% at $210.4 million.
"We continue to expect a favorable rebound in our industry's recovery trajectory this year, and the second quarter is already pacing well ahead of 2024's box office results," said Chief Executive Sean Gamble.
