    • IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) today reported excellent financial results for the third quarter of 2025, demonstrating the value of its unique global entertainment platform and broad content portfolio.

    “IMAX is moving into a new position — building to something bigger — and our performance for the quarter and year to date demonstrate we’re breaking out and delivering at a higher level,” said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. “We continue to deliver results that exceed expectations and transcend the broader marketplace – thanks in large part to our unique, diversified global content portfolio spanning Hollywood, local language, music and more.”

    “We strategically programmed our network to deliver our best third quarter in history and emphatically demonstrated our differentiation. While Domestic box office declined 11%, IMAX box office grew significantly over the same period – up 29% in the domestic market and 50% globally.”

    “Our leadership with audiences is driving strong global demand for IMAX systems, with installations pacing to the high end of our 2025 guidance of 150 to 160 for the full year, and system sales already eclipsing our full-year total for 2024.”

    “IMAX has never been better positioned creatively, commercially, or strategically. As successful as we’ve been in 2025, we continue to believe the best is yet to come, with no less than four massive tentpoles expected in 2026 – ‘The Odyssey’, ‘Narnia’, ‘Dune Part Three’ and The ‘Mandalorian and Grogu’ — for which IMAX is a central component of the filmmaking, marketing, and distribution.”
