Marcus reports Q1 EPS (51c) vs. (54c) last year

Reports Q1 revenue $154.4M, consensus $149.53M. “Both Marcus (MCS) Theatres and Marcus Hotels & Resorts significantly outperformed their respective industries during the first quarter of fiscal 2026,” said Gregory S. Marcus, chief executive officer of Marcus Corporation. “Fueled by a robust film slate that included Project Hail Mary, the first tentpole success of the year, as well as strong carry-over of holiday films and new family-friendly films that played well in our markets, Marcus Theatres started the year strong. The string of hit films continued into April with the blockbuster The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and the success of Michael. As typically is the case, travel was seasonally slower over the winter months, yet Marcus Hotels & Resorts continued to outperform its competitive sets, with especially strong performance from newly renovated assets. Momentum is building for both divisions as we head into the spring and summer, with growing excitement for the coming slate of new highly anticipated films – including several franchise favorites – and the return of the busy summer travel season.”
