Imax reports Q1 EPS 7c, consensus 15c

Reports Q1 revenue $81.4M, consensus $79.9M. “IMAX (IMAX) continues to build on the momentum of its record-breaking 2025 and further establish itself as the premier global platform for blockbuster entertainment. As we enter one of the most productive periods of the moviegoing year with among the most promising slates we’ve seen, we look forward to delivering a record $1.4 billion in global box office for the full year and driving network expansion worldwide,” said Natasha Fernandes, CFO. “The breakout success of Project Hail Mary – a Filmed For IMAX release that more than doubled our initial box office projections – demonstrates what a well-crafted blockbuster can achieve when it leans fully into the IMAX platform. We have several tentpoles this year from the most successful filmmakers in Hollywood that will do just that. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three broke new ground in selling out IMAX auditoriums up to a year in advance of their releases; Jon Favreau is leveraging IMAX technology in entirely new ways with The Mandalorian and Grogu; and Greta Gerwig will release Narnia with a pioneering IMAX exclusive run. We continue to capitalize on our box office success – and renewed optimism among exhibitors given the industry’s strong start to 2026 – to further grow and diversify our global network. Our continued momentum in Australia – where we just signed our largest agreement ever for 10 new locations – and Japan with 7 signings year to date underscores the success we’re having across our priority growth markets.”
