IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond reiterated his expectation for the company to achieve a record global box office exceeding $1.2 billion in 2025. This projection would mark the best box office haul in the company's 55-year history, signaling strong confidence in the upcoming film slate and market conditions.
Gelfond pointed to a robust lineup of blockbuster titles scheduled for release over the next ten months, including new installments in major franchises such as 'Mission Impossible,' 'How to Train Your Dragon,' 'Jurassic Park,' 'Zootopia,' and 'Avatar.' These films are expected to drive significant audience engagement for IMAX's premium screens.
The CEO also highlighted the strong performance of local language films, noting that the Chinese title 'Ne Zha 2' has already garnered $1.6 billion globally, with IMAX accounting for $135 million of that total. This early success, particularly in the China market, contributes significantly to the optimistic full-year box office forecast.
