‘Gladiator II’ Lifts Imax to $93 Million in Q4 Revenue

Imax rode a pair of male-skewing blockbusters in Paramount’s “Gladiator II” and Sony’s “Venom: The Last Dance,” plus holiday audiences for Disney’s “Mufasa” to a strong $93 million in revenue for Q4 of 2024.

While that total is slightly below the $98 million earned in Q4 2022 thanks to “Avatar: The Way of Water,” it is an 8% increase year-over-year as the global box office for the premium format this past quarter reached $204 million.

“In 2024, IMAX further strengthened its position at the center of global entertainment – expanding the roster of filmmakers working with our technology, strengthening our studio marketing, hitting the high-end of our installation guidance, and innovating to expand our programming – including our deal with Netflix for the release of Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ across the IMAX global network in advance of its debut on the service,” CEO Rich Gelfond said in a statement.

“With the headwinds we faced in China in 2024 beginning to lift, we’re poised to build on the Fourth Quarter’s significant double-digit growth in adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share. We look forward to capitalizing on the promising opportunity ahead to achieve a record year at the global box office and strong returns for our shareholders.”
