The Stock Winners: For those keeping score at home, here are the number of films on the list for each public company mentioned above:
<ul>
<li>Disney: 10</li>

<li>Paramount: 4</li>
<li>Sony: 3</li>
<li>Lions Gate: 2</li>
<li>Apple: 1</li>
</ul>
Disney leads the way with 10 films on the list for 2025, including several superhero movies under the Marvel brand, animated films and the return of the Avatar franchise. The media giant could continue its streak as the highest-grossing film studio with a strong lineup of films.
Ranking second on the list is Comcast, which has several potential blockbusters including the return of the Jurassic World franchise and the sequel to "Wicked." Comcast had several of the highest-grossing films in 2024, including "Wicked," which ranked third domestically.
Warner Bros. and Paramount rank next on the list, but the titles might not be as recognizable to everyone and could signal that 2025 is a year for Disney and Comcast to distance themselves from the field. "Superman" will be a major test for Warner Bros. in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/02/30678077/its-a-bird-its-a-plane-its-dc-comics-new-movies-tv-shows-announced"> rebirth of the plans </a>for the DC Comics film franchise.
Outside of the media companies, movie theater stocks such as AMC and Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) might be best positioned to benefit from the overall movie slate and projections for the box office revenue to rise in 2025.

Top Anticipated 2025 Movies For Big Screen Success And Stocks Investors Should Watch

Few hedge fund managers command the attention of Wall Street quite like Dan S. Loeb. As the founder of Third Point, a $7 billion hedge fund, Loeb has made his mark with bold activist strategies that challenge the status quo and drive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/hedge-funds">transformation in global companies.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Portfolio Overview</h3>
As of Q3 2024, Third Point's portfolio is valued at $7.37 billion, comprising 41 investments. The fund gained 5.3% during the quarter, with top holdings including Pacific Gas &amp; Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) at 13%, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) at 9.3%, and Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) at 7.3%. Smaller positions include Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and Bath &amp; Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>), each at 5.1%.
Best Performers: These five stocks have surged over 20% in the last 6 months.
<ol>
<li>Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) escalated around 43%.</li>
<li>Amazon surged about 18%</li>
<li>Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) rose roughly 17%</li>
<li>Corpay, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPAY#NYSE">CPAY</a>) rocketed about 29%</li>
<li>Cinemark Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) increased approximately 60%</li>
</ol>
These gains highlight Loeb's ability to capitalize on growth opportunities across the entertainment, tech, and financial sectors.

Investment Strategy:
<ul>
<li>Loeb is a prominent activist investor who acquires significant stakes in underperforming companies to advocate for improvements in management, operations, or governance, with the goal of enhancing shareholder value. A key example is his 2011 investment in Yahoo, where a 5% stake and strategic push led to transformations and over $1 billion in gains, <a href="https://hedgefundalpha.com/dan-loeb-portfolio/">according </a>to Hedge Fund Alpha.</li>
<li>Throughout his career, Loeb has focused more on creating spin-offs than investing in existing ones. He recently applied his activist strategy with Sony and Shell to pursue spin-offs, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/28/shell-vs-activist-dan-loeb-is-bigger-for-big-oil-than-exxon-board-war.html">according </a>to CNBC, but was unsuccessful in these efforts.</li>
<li>Beyond equities, Loeb explores opportunities in credit markets, including distressed debt and corporate bonds, aiming to generate high-risk-adjusted returns by exploiting inefficiencies in those areas. In 2012, Loeb invested in Greek sovereign bonds during the financial crisis, assessing the risk-reward ratio and achieving strong returns, adding to an already successful year, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/10/03/third-points-loeb-bets-big-and-wins-on-greek-debt.html">reported</a>.</li>
</ul>
Historical Performance: Since launching in 1995, the fund has averaged annual returns of 16%, attracting new investors with consistent positive performance, according to Hedge Fund Alpha.
Loeb's major successes came during the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis, with his fund posting a 45% return in 2009 despite a market downturn.
Third Point&#8217;s assets under management reportedly peaked at nearly $18 billion in 2022 before declining to approximately $7 billion, attributed to underperformance during a challenging market period in 2022. By the end of 2023, the fund achieved modest positive returns, indicating some stabilization.

5 High-Flying Stocks In Dan Loeb's Portfolio: Cinemark, Corpay, Amazon Lead

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) takes top honors for domestic box office in 2024 and could be in store for a strong 2025 with a new analyst forecast calling for box office revenue to grow 8% in 2025, which is likely music to the ears of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41790068/amc-ceo-is-confident-and-optimistic-about-cinema-chains-future-as-q3-earnings-show-revenue-beat-rec">movie theater executives.</a>
2024 Box Office Winners: Disney is the only movie studio to hit the $2 billion figure for the domestic box office in 2024, led <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40319102/disneys-deadpool-wolverine-hits-1b-d23-unveils-new-sequels-theme-park-expansions-fortnite-c">by hits like</a> "Inside Out 2," "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine" and the recently released "Moana 2."
This marks the second time that Disney hit the $2 billion figure since 2019, with the most recent milestone achieved in 2022, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/box-office-disney-2024-1236209611/">Deadline</a>. Since 2010, Disney has reached $2 billion domestically seven times.
Disney will add to its year total with the release of "Mufasa" in theaters this weekend.
Here is a look at the top-grossing movies <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2024/?ref_=bo_yl_table_1">domestically </a>in 2024 and the public company behind the respective studio.
<ol>
<li>"Inside Out 2": $653.0 million, Disney</li>
<li>"Deadpool &amp; Wolverine": $636.7 million, Disney</li>
<li>"Wicked": $365.2 million, Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>)</li>
<li>"Despicable Me 4": $361.0 million, Comcast</li>
<li>"Moana 2": $342.1 million, Disney</li>
<li>"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice": $294.1 million, Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>)</li>
<li>"Dune: Part Two": $282.1 million, Warner Bros. Discovery</li>
<li>"Twisters": $267.8 million, Comcast</li>
<li>"Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire": $196.4 million, Warner Bros. Discovery</li>
<li>"Kung Fu Panda 4": $193.6 million, Comcast</li>
</ol>
"Inside Out 2" is the 11th highest-grossing movie domestically of all time and the highest-grossing animated film of all time domestically. "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine" set records for R-rated films and is the 12th highest-grossing film domestically of all time.
The top 10 list was led by Disney, Comcast, and Warner Bros., three companies that took home top scores in <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/2024-box-office-numbers-movie-studios-disney-universal-paramount-1236236541/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety's </a>movie studios&#8217; year-end grades.
Disney earned an A rating, following a challenging 2023 in which the company failed to produce a $1 billion global grosser for the first time since 2014, excluding the pandemic years. The media giant has seen two films surpass the $1 billion mark globally this year and could add a third with &#8220;Moana 2,&#8221; which is projected to reach the milestone in December or January.
Comcast's Universal brand received an A- score thanks to the hits in the top 10 list and "The Wild Robot," which grossed over $300 million worldwide.
"Universal pulled off the seemingly impossible: Making musicals seem cool to moviegoers," Variety writes of the success of "Wicked."
Variety hands Warner Bros. a B+ rating with several hits among the top 10 grossing films, but a couple of films that underperformed including "Joker: Folie a Deux" at $206 million worldwide, calling it a "costly flop."
Here were the other Variety grades for movie studios:
<ul>
<li>Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>): B</li>

2025 Projections: News of Disney hitting the $2 billion domestic milestone comes with more potential good news<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41790068/amc-ceo-is-confident-and-optimistic-about-cinema-chains-future-as-q3-earnings-show-revenue-beat-rec"> </a>for the movie sector and movie theater companies like AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>).
Gower Street Analytics projects the global box office will reach $33 billion in 2025, an 8% increase from the estimated $30.5 billion total expected for 2024.
While the 2025 figure is expected to grow, it will be 14% behind the average of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 years before the COVID-19 pandemic, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/2025-global-box-office-projection-1236237776/">Deadline</a>.
Gower Street Analytics predicts the North American box office will hit $9.7 billion in 2025, up 9% from the predicted 2024 year-end figure. The domestic box office stands at $8 billion currently, as reported by <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/?ref_=bo_nb_hm_secondarytab">BoxOfficeMojo</a>.
The $9.7 billion estimate is 16% below the 2017-2019 average.
Overall, many regions are expected to see higher box office figures in 2025 compared to 2024, but the estimates in most regions are still below the averages from the pre-pandemic era.
"2025 is set to be a strong year for the global box office, fueled by robust studio slates and independent productions," Gower Street Analytics CEO Dimitrios Mitsinikos said.
Mitsinikos said the domestic box office could potentially surpass the $10 billion figure and get "closer to pre-pandemic norms."
The 2025 release slate includes films in the Avatar, Mission: Impossible, Jurassic World, John Wick, Zootopia, Superman and Wicked film franchises.

Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth, hailed Walt Disney Co.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) resurgence after "Moana 2" earned $221 million over Thanksgiving.
What Happened: Taking to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday, Gerber cheered as "Moana 2" contributed significantly to the total box office earnings of $420 million over the weekend.

The sequel to Disney&#8217;s "Moana" now holds the record for the highest-grossing Thanksgiving release. It has surpassed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/42123085/wicked-gladiator-ii-moana-2-could-break-thanksgiving-weekend-box-office-stocks-to-watch">previous record of $125 million</a> set by "Frozen II" in 2019, <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/holiday/us_thanksgiving_5/?grossesOption=calendarGrosses&amp;sort=topReleaseGross&amp;ref_=bo_hl__resort#table">according</a> to Box Office Mojo data.
Other films such as "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" also contributed to the record-breaking Thanksgiving week total of nearly $420 million, surpassing 2018&#8217;s record for the best Thanksgiving box office week in history.
Why It Matters: The animated adventure film &#8216;Moana 2&#8217; exceeded expectations, raking in $28 million on Thanksgiving Day alone, <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/thanksgiving-box-office-moana-2-breaks-holiday-records-wicked-1236230809/">reported</a> Variety. It follows the 2016 original, which earned $82 million during its Thanksgiving debut and was the most-streamed film in 2023.
"Moana 2" also broke the record for the biggest five-day opening, previously held by "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," distributed by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>)-owned Universal Pictures, which grossed $204.6 million in April last year.

In November, Disney reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41971559/disneys-q4-boosted-by-streaming-gains-strong-box-office-and-solid-parks-performance">fiscal fourth-quarter 2024</a> revenue, which rose by 6% year-over-year to $22.57 billion, slightly exceeding the analyst estimate of $22.35 billion.&nbsp;

Ross Gerber Says 'Disney Is Back' After 'Moana 2' Crushes With $221M Box Office Success Over Thanksgiving

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on Cinemark Hldgs, Raises Price Target to $38

Highly anticipated movies "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" are being released on the same day and come shortly ahead of "Moana 2," setting up what could be a record-breaking Thanksgiving weekend for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41790068/amc-ceo-is-confident-and-optimistic-about-cinema-chains-future-as-q3-earnings-show-revenue-beat-rec">movie theater industry</a>.
What Happened: "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" open in domestic movie theaters on Nov. 22, in a move that some compared to the release of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" on the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39621420/wicked-gladiator-2-same-day-release-has-industry-vying-for-another-box-office-power-duo-bar"> same day last year.</a>
While "Glicked" or whatever acronym you want to use for seeing both movies the same day didn't catch on as big as last year's "Barbenheimer" did previously, expectations remain high for both movies.
"Wicked," which comes from Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) unit Universal Pictures, is expected to post a domestic opening weekend total in the range of $125 million to $150 million, as <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/11/wicked-gladiator-box-office-preview-1236181463/">reported </a>by Deadline.
"Gladiator II," which comes from Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>), is expected to have a domestic opening weekend of more than $60 million.
Deadline reports strong initial audience scores for "Wicked" from those who saw early screenings of the film and pre-sales that are "through the roof."
As an R-rated movie, a total of $60 million or more could help "Gladiator II" become the highest-grossing R-rated film in November.

Why It's Important: The strong expected opens for "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" could be good news for AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) and other movie theater operators in the U.S.
Along with those two movies, movie theaters could also benefit from the release of "Moana 2" from Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), which comes next Wednesday, ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The three movies could help the domestic box office pass $300 million and hit all-time records for the holiday five-day weekend, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/box-office-record-thanksgiving-feast-1236067367/">according </a>to The Hollywood Reporter.
With three strong movies all released shortly before Thanksgiving, estimates predict a strong domestic box office next week, which could be another bright spot in the post-COVID-19 recovery for movie theaters and movie companies.
A total of over $300 million, with most coming from the three films, could come close to the record. Here's a look at the current top-grossing five-day domestic Thanksgiving weekends and the highest-grossing film during the time period:
<ul>
<li>2018: $315.6 million, "Ralph Breaks the Internet" ($84.8 million)</li>
<li>2013: $294.2 million, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" ($109.9 million)</li>
<li>2017: $270.5 million, "Coco" ($72.9 million)</li>
<li>2019: $263.4 million, "Frozen II" ($125.0 million)</li>
<li>2016: $260.0 million, "Moana" ($125.0 million)</li>
</ul>
The report said current tracking predicts "Moana 2" will gross between $125 million and $150 million for the five-day holiday weekend domestically, which would break records for the time period.
The early Wednesday opening could contribute to the strong expectations for "Moana 2" as not all blockbusters haven't done this same holiday release window previously, the report added.
While the strong opening expectations for the three films could help the movie companies behind them, the big winners will likely be the movie theaters as they could see many customers coming in more than once during a period that might have only drawn one visit in past years due to this year's strong lineup.

'Wicked,' 'Gladiator II,' 'Moana 2' Could Break Thanksgiving Weekend Box Office: Stocks To Watch

AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) is accustomed to drama on the big screen, but its stock may be facing a critical moment <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMC/news">in the financial markets.</a>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="493" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/19065436/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-5.24.18-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-654797" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/19065436/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-5.24.18-PM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/19065436/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-5.24.18-PM-300x234.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>

AMC stock is nearing a Death Cross, where its 50-day moving average dips below the 200-day moving average—a technical signal often linked to bearish momentum. For a company managing $4 billion in debt, this chart pattern adds to an already challenging outlook.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Debt Load That Steals The Spotlight</h2>
The domestic box office has made a strong recovery, delivering its best third-quarter results since 2020. However, AMC has struggled to capitalize on the momentum. As the largest theater operator with 900 locations and 10,000 screens, the company remains weighed down by its significant debt burden.
While competitors like Cinemark Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) navigate the industry revival with relative ease, AMC continues to grapple with substantial interest payments that weigh heavily on its financial recovery.
Even with a blockbuster-filled lineup and premium theater upgrades like Dolby Cinema and IMAX, AMC&#8217;s bottom line continues to suffer. In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMC/earnings">the third quarter</a>, the company posted a $21 million loss, with interest payments significantly impacting its results.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Blockbuster Bet</h2>
AMC is betting big on premium experiences to lure audiences back. CEO Adam Aron's "<a href="https://investor.amctheatres.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/372/amc-theatres-announces-amcs-go-plan-a-multi-year-plan-to-invest-up-to-1-5-billion-over-four-to-seven-years-greatly-improving-the-movie-going-experience-at-amc">Go Plan</a>" includes a $1 billion-plus investment in enhanced screens, luxury seating, and fancy popcorn buckets. 
While these initiatives might spark revenue growth, analysts <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/18/amc-debt-threatens-its-ability-to-ride-the-box-office-rebound.html">warn</a> against excessive spending. Roth Capital analyst Eric Handler cautions, "They've still got to be judicious with their cash flow."
Yet, investors remain skeptical. AMC's penchant for issuing shares to raise capital has diluted stockholder value, making its equity less appetizing than overpriced movie concessions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Technical Script Unfolds</h2>
The looming Death Cross isn't just symbolic. AMC stock has slumped over 39% in the past year and nearly 29% year-to-date, reflecting waning investor confidence. The recent month's 1.63% gain feels like a short intermission before the plot thickens.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will AMC Rewrite Its Ending?</h2>
Despite grim technical indicators, there's hope for a better sequel. Hollywood&#8217;s 2025 and 2026 slates are packed with franchise juggernauts that could fill AMC&#8217;s premium screens and drive ticket sales. 
However, the question remains: can AMC manage its debt, avoid further dilution, and stay afloat long enough to capitalize on the industry revival?
For now, as AMC's Death Cross approaches, the market appears to be anticipating a potential shift—though whether it leads to recovery or further struggles remains unclear.

AMC Nears Death Cross As Debt Takes Center Stage

Movie theater company AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) could highlight market share gains and a strong box office performance when the company reports third-quarter financial results Wednesday<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> after the market close.</a>
AMC Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect AMC to report third-quarter revenue of $1.33 billion, down from $1.41 billion in last year's third quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent110624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten revenue estimates from analysts in nine of the last 10 quarters, missing in the most recently reported second quarter.
Analysts expect the company to report a loss of 11 cents per share, compared to a loss of 9 cents per share in last year's third quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in seven of the last eight quarters, meeting expectations in the most recently reported second quarter.

What AMC Analysts Are Saying: Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40165453/amc-stock-to-remain-volatile-after-q2-results-analysts-praise-market-share-gains-ca">detailed the company's</a> potential market share gains in an investor note after second-quarter financial results.
The analyst, who has a Neutral rating and a $4 price target, said the company needs to reduce its high debt load to help with future growth.
"AMC can also drive revenue growth in Europe with theater upgrades. However, it is unlikely to do so until it works through balance sheet right-sizing," Reese said.
The analyst said a large network of premium screens and concert movie distribution deals could help "justify its premium valuation," but cautioned on more potential capital needed to cover interest payments.
&#8220;We expect AMC&#8217;s shares to remain volatile as its shareholders dislike its frequent share issuances.&#8221;
Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey said AMC's second quarter saw a strong performance with several box office hits.
The analyst, who has a Market Weight rating and no price target, said the concession revenue per attendee was up in the second quarter for domestic theaters along with higher average ticket prices, positives for the company.
Key Items to Watch From AMC: The third-quarter box office rose 0.6% year-over-year domestically according to <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/quarter/q3/?grossesOption=calendarGrosses">data </a>from BoxOfficeMojo. The quarter saw hit films like "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine," "Despicable Me 4," "Twisters" and "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" released.
AMC's quarterly report comes after peer Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41660851/whats-going-on-with-cinemark-holdings-stock-thursday">reported quarterly earnings </a>that saw earnings per share and revenue both beat analyst estimates. The company&#8217;s shares rose after the report, and analysts raised<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CNK/analyst-ratings"> their price targets.</a>
Cinemark said the third quarter box office exceeded expectations and was the highest quarterly total since the COVID-19 pandemic.
A similar report from AMC could go a long way toward showing a box office recovery and growth ahead.
Fourth-quarter domestic box office hasn't been as strong, with "Venom: The Last Dance" the current top film of the quarter at $92.0 million. Upcoming movies like "Gladiator II," "Moana 2," "Wicked," "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" and "Mufasa: The Lion King" could bring optimism for a strong end to the year for movie theater companies.
AMC CEO Adam Aron has been more optimistic about upcoming years than 2024, which could be echoed in his commentary on Wednesday.
&#8220;With a long list of blockbuster movie titles opening in theaters during the remainder of the year and into 2025 and 2026, the industry-wide box office now appears to us to be poised for sustained growth. Looking ahead, we believe that bodes ever so well for the increasing cash generation potential from AMC&#8217;s movie theaters both at home and abroad," Aron said earlier this year.
AMC Price Action: AMC stock was up 2.3% to $4.50 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $2.38 to $11.88. AMC stock is down 28% year-to-date in 2024.

월트 디즈니 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)가 2024년 미국 박스오피스 1위를 차지했다. 2025년 박스오피스 매출이 8% 증가할 것이라는 새로운 애널리스트의 전망에 따라 강력한 성과를 보일 수 있으며 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41790068/amc-ceo-is-confident-and-optimistic-about-cinema-chains-future-as-q3-earnings-show-revenue-beat-rec">영화관 경영진에게도 반가운 소식이다.</a>
2024년 박스오피스 우승자: 디즈니는 "인사이드 아웃 2", "데드풀과울버린", 최근 개봉한 "모아나 2" 등 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40319102/disneys-deadpool-wolverine-hits-1b-d23-unveils-new-sequels-theme-park-expansions-fortnite-c">히트작</a>에 힘입어 2024년 미국 박스오피스에서 20억 달러를 달성한 유일한 영화 스튜디오가 되었다.
<a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/box-office-disney-2024-1236209611/">데드라인(Deadline)</a>에 따르면, 디즈니가 20억 달러를 돌파한 것은 2019년에 이어 두 번째로, 가장 최근의 기록은 2022년에 달성했다. 2010년 이후 디즈니는 국내에서 20억 달러를 7번이나 달성했다.
디즈니는 이번 주말에 &#8220;무파사&#8221;를 개봉하면서 올해 총 매출을 더 올릴 예정이다.
2024년 <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2024/?ref_=bo_yl_table_1">미국에서 가장 높은 수익을 올린</a> 영화와 각 스튜디오의 배후에 있는 상장사를 살펴보자.
<ol>
<li>&#8220;인사이드 아웃 2&#8221;: 6억 5,300만 달러, 디즈니</li>
<li>&#8220;데드풀과 울버린&#8221;: 6억 3,670만 달러, 디즈니</li>
<li>&#8220;위키드&#8221;: 3억 6,520만 달러, 컴캐스트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>)</li>
<li>&#8220;미니언즈 4&#8221;: 3억 6,100만 달러, 컴캐스트</li>
<li>&#8220;모아나 2&#8221;: 3억 4,210만 달러, 디즈니</li>
<li>&#8220;비틀주스 비틀주스&#8221;: 2억 9,410만 달러, 워너 브라더스 디스커버리(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>)</li>
<li>&#8220;듄: 파트 2&#8221;: 2억 8,210만 달러, 워너 브라더스 디스커버리</li>
<li>&#8220;트위스터즈&#8221;: 2억 6,780만 달러, 컴캐스트</li>
<li>&#8220;고질라 x 킹콩: 뉴 엠파이어&#8221;: 1억 9,640만 달러, 워너 브라더스 디스커버리</li>
<li>&#8220;쿵푸 팬더 4&#8221;: 1억 9,360만 달러, 컴캐스트</li>
</ol>
"인사이드 아웃 2&#8243;는 역대 미국에서 11번째로 높은 수익을 올린 영화이자 역대 국내에서 가장 높은 수익을 올린 애니메이션 영화다. "데드풀과 울버린&#8221;은 R등급 영화 기록을 세웠으며 역대 국내에서 12번째로 높은 수익을 올린 영화다.
상위 10위권에는 <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/2024-box-office-numbers-movie-studios-disney-universal-paramount-1236236541/">버라이어티(Variety)</a>의 연말 영화 스튜디오 등급 평가에서 최고 점수를 받은 디즈니, 컴캐스트, 워너 브라더스 3개사가 이름을 올렸다.
디즈니는 팬데믹 시기를 제외한 2014년 이후 처음으로 글로벌 수익 10억 달러를 달성하지 못한 어려운 2023년에 이어 A 등급을 받았다. 디즈니는 올해 두 편의 영화가 전 세계적으로 10억 달러를 돌파했으며, 12월 또는 1월에 10억 달러를 돌파할 것으로 예상되는 &#8220;모아나 2&#8243;로 세 번째 기록을 추가할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
컴캐스트의 유니버설 브랜드는 상위 10위 안에 든 히트작과 전 세계적으로 3억 달러 이상의 수익을 올린 &#8220;와일드 로봇&#8221; 덕분에 A- 점수를 받았다.
버라이어티는 &#8220;위키드&#8221;의 성공에 대해 "유니버설은 영화 관객들에게 뮤지컬을 멋지게 보이게 만드는 불가능한 일을 해냈다&#8221;고 평했다.
한편, 버라이어티는 워너 브라더스에 B+ 등급을 부여했는데, 매출 상위 10위권 영화 중 몇 편이 히트했지만 &#8220;조커: 폴리 아 되&#8221; 등 저조한 성적을 거둔 영화도 몇 편 있었다. 이 영화는 전 세계적으로 2억 6천만 달러의 수익으로 실적이 부진해 ‘값비싼 실패'라고 평가했다.
다른 영화 스튜디오에 대한 버라이어티의 등급은 다음과 같다.
<ul>
<li>파라마운트 글로벌 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>): B</li>
<li>소니 그룹 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>): B</li>

</ul>
기술 대기업인 아마존과 애플은 최악의 점수를 받기는 했다. 하지만 극장에서 실패했어도 나중에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42537187/christmas-movie-with-the-rock-flops-at-box-office-breaks-streaming-records-for-this-company">스트리밍 기록을 경신하는</a> 영화가 나타나기도 한다.
2025년 전망: 디즈니가 국내 매출 20억 달러를 돌파했다는 소식은 영화 부문과 AMC 엔터테인먼트 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) 및 시네마크 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>)와 같은 영화관 회사에 더 많은 희소식을 가져다 줄 것이다.
가워 스트리트 애널리틱스(Gower Street Analytics)는 2025년 전 세계 박스오피스가 330억 달러에 달할 것으로 예상하며, 이는 2024년에 예상되는 총 305억 달러보다 8% 증가한 수치다.
2025년 수치는 성장할 것으로 예상되지만, 코로나19 <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/2025-global-box-office-projection-1236237776/">팬데믹</a> 이전인 2017년, 2018년, 2019년의 평균치보다 14% 뒤처질 것으로 예상된다.
가워 스트리트는 2025년 북미 박스오피스가 2024년 연말 예상 수치보다 9% 증가한 97억 달러를 기록할 것으로 예측한다. <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/?ref_=bo_nb_hm_secondarytab">BoxOfficeMojo</a>에 따르면 미국 박스오피스는 현재 80억 달러다.
그리고 97억 달러라는 예상치는 2017~2019년 평균보다 16% 낮은 수준이다.
전반적으로 많은 지역에서 2024년에 비해 2025년에 더 높은 박스오피스 수치를 보일 것으로 예상되지만, 대부분의 지역의 추정치는 여전히 팬데믹 이전의 평균보다 낮다.
가워 스트리트의 CEO인 디미트리오스 미치니코스(Dimitrios Mitsinikos)는 "2025년은 탄탄한 스튜디오 대작과 독립 영화 제작에 힘입어 전 세계 박스오피스가 강세를 보이는 한 해가 될 것&#8221;이라고 말했다.
미치니코스는 미국 박스오피스가 잠재적으로 100억 달러를 돌파하고 "팬데믹 이전 수준에 근접할 수 있다"고 말했다.
2025년 개봉 예정작에는 &#8220;아바타 3&#8221;, &#8220;미션 임파서블: 파이널 레코닝&#8221;, &#8220;쥬라기 월드: 리버스&#8221;, &#8220;존 윅&#8221;의 스핀오프 &#8220;발레리나&#8221;, &#8220;주토피아 2&#8221;, &#8220;슈퍼맨&#8221;, &#8220;위키드: 포 굿&#8221; 등이 있다.

무슨 일 있었나: 일요일(1일) 로스 거버는 X 게시물을 통해 디즈니의 주말 총 4억 2,000만 달러 박스오피스 수입에 &#8216;모아나2&#8217;가 크게 기여했다며 환호를 표현했다.

로스 거버 "디즈니가 돌아왔다": 영화 '모아나2' 추수감사절 2억 2,100만 달러 흥행 성공

많은 기대를 모은 영화 &#8220;위키드(Wicked)&#8221;와 &#8220;글래디에이터(Gladiator) II&#8221;가 같은 날 개봉하고, &#8220;모아나(Moana) 2&#8243;가 바로 뒤를 이어 개봉함으로써 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41790068/amc-ceo-is-confident-and-optimistic-about-cinema-chains-future-as-q3-earnings-show-revenue-beat-rec" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">영화관 산업</a>에 기록적인 추수감사절 주말이 될 수 있는 상황을 만들고 있다.
무슨 일이 있었나: &#8220;위키드&#8221;와 &#8220;글래디에이터 II&#8221;는 11월 22일에 미국 극장에 개봉하며, 이는 작년에 &#8220;바비(Barbie)&#8221;와 &#8220;오펜하이머(Oppenheimer)&#8221;가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39621420/wicked-gladiator-2-same-day-release-has-industry-vying-for-another-box-office-power-duo-bar" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">같은 날</a> 개봉한 것과 비교되는 움직임이다.
&#8220;글리키드(Glicked)&#8221; 또는 두 영화를 같은 날에 보자는 어떤 약칭이든 작년의 &#8220;바벤하이머(Barbenheimer)&#8221;만큼 큰 인기를 끌지는 못했지만, 이 두 영화 모두에 대한 기대는 여전히 높다.
&#8220;위키드&#8221;는 컴캐스트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>)의 유니버설 픽쳐스(Universal Pictures)에서 제작한 것으로, 미국 국내 개봉 주말 수익이 1억 2,500만 달러에서 1억 5,000만 달러 사이로 예상된다고 데드라인(Deadline)이 <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/11/wicked-gladiator-box-office-preview-1236181463/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
&#8220;글래디에이터 II&#8221;는 파라마운트 글로벌(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>)에서 제작한 것으로, 국내 개봉 주말 수익이 6,000만 달러 이상으로 예상된다.
데드라인에 따르면, &#8220;위키드&#8221;는 초기 관객 평가에서 긍정적인 반응을 얻었고, 예매율이 &#8220;천정부지&#8221;로 상승했다.
R등급 영화인 &#8220;글래디에이터 II&#8221;는 6,000만 달러 이상의 수익을 올리면 11월에 개봉한 R등급 영화 중 최고 흥행작이 될 수 있다.
왜 중요한가: &#8220;위키드&#8221;와 &#8220;글래디에이터 II&#8221;의 강력한 개봉 예측은 AMC 엔터테인먼트 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>)와 시네마크 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) 및 기타 미국 영화관 운영업체들에게 좋은 소식이 될 수 있다.
이 두 영화와 함께, 월트 디즈니 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)의 &#8220;모아나 2&#8221; 개봉도 영화관에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 이는 다음 수요일 추수감사절 연휴를 앞두고 개봉된다.
더 할리우드 리포터에 <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/box-office-record-thanksgiving-feast-1236067367/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">의하면</a>, 이 세 영화는 국내 박스오피스 수익이 3억 달러를 넘고, 추수감사절 5일 연휴 동안 역대 기록을 세울 수 있도록 도울 수 있다.
세 개의 강력한 영화가 모두 추수감사절 직전에 개봉함에 따라, 다음 주에는 강력한 국내 박스오피스 수익이 예상되며, 이는 COVID-19 이후 영화관들과 영화 회사들의 회복을 위한 또 다른 밝은 자리가 될 수 있다.
세 편의 영화에서 대부분의 수익이 발생한다고 가정할 때, 3억 달러 이상의 수익이 기록에 근접할 수 있다. 다음은 현재까지의 추수감사절 5일 연휴 동안 박스오피스 수익 순위와 가장 높은 영화이다:
<ul>
<li>2018년: 3억 1,560만 달러, &#8220;주먹왕 랄프 2: 인터넷 속으로(Ralph Breaks the Internet)&#8221; ($8,480만 달러)</li>
<li>2013년: 2억 9,420만 달러, &#8220;헝거 게임: 캣칭 파이어(The Hunger Games: Catching Fire)&#8221; ($1억 9,900만 달러)</li>
<li>2017년: 2억 7,050만 달러, &#8220;코코(Coco)&#8221; ($7,290만 달러)</li>
<li>2019년: 2억 6,340만 달러, &#8220;겨울왕국 II(Frozen II)&#8221; ($1억 2,500만 달러)</li>
<li>2016년: 2억 6,000만 달러, &#8220;모아나&#8221; ($1억 2,500만 달러)</li>
</ul>
이 보도에 따르면 현재 예측은 &#8220;모아나 2&#8243;가 추수감사절 5일 연휴 동안 1억 2,500만 달러에서 1억 5,000만 달러 사이의 수익을 올릴 것으로 예측하고 있으며, 이는 해당 기간의 기록을 깨는 것이다.
수요일 조기 개봉은 &#8220;모아나 2&#8243;에 대한 강력한 기대에 기여할 수 있으며, 모든 블록버스터가 이전에 같은 추수감사절 개봉 시기를 선택하지는 않았다고 이 보도가 덧붙였다.
세 영화의 강력한 개봉 예측이 이들 영화를 제작한 영화 회사들에 도움이 될 수 있지만, 가장 큰 수혜자는 영화관들이 될 것이며, 올해는 강력한 라인업으로 인해 지난 몇 년 동안 한 번만 방문했을 수있는 기간 동안 많은 고객이 두 번 이상 들어오는 것을 볼 수 있었기 때문이다.

'위키드,' '글래디에이터 II,' '모아나 2'와 같이 추수감사절 주말 박스 오피스 주목: 관심 종목

AMC 엔터테인먼트 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>)는 스크린에서의 영화에 익숙하지만, 주식은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMC/news" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">금융 시장</a>에서 중요한 순간을 맞이할 수 있다.
<img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/19065436/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-5.24.18-PM.png?optimize=medium&amp;dpr=1.25&amp;auto=webp&amp;width=1920" />
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">Benzinga Pro를 사용하여 만든 차트</a>
AMC 주식은 50일 이동 평균선이 200일 이동 평균선 아래로 떨어지는 &#8216;데스 크로스&#8216;에 가까워지고 있다. 이는 종종 하락 모멘텀과 연결되는 기술적 신호이다. 40억 달러의 부채를 관리하는 이 회사에 있어 이 차트 패턴은 이미 어려운 전망에 추가적인 부담을 주게 된다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">주목을 끄는 부채 부담</h2>
미국 국내 박스오피스는 강력한 회복세를 보이며 2020년 이래 최고의 3분기 실적을 기록했다. 그러나 AMC는 이 모멘텀을 활용하는 데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 900개 위치와 10,000개 스크린을 보유한 최대 극장 운영사인 AMC는 여전히 상당한 부채 부담에 짓눌려 있다.
시네마크 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>)와 같은 경쟁사들이 산업 회복을 상대적으로 쉽게 헤쳐 나가는 반면, AMC는 재정 회복에 큰 영향을 미치는 고액의 이자 지급과 여전히 씨름하고 있다.
블록버스터로 가득 찬 라인업과 돌비 시네마, 아이맥스(IMAX)와 같은 프리미엄 극장 업그레이드에도 불구하고, AMC의 최종 실적은 계속해서 타격을 받고 있다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMC/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">3분기</a>에는 2,100만 달러의 손실을 기록했으며, 이자 지급이 결과에 상당한 영향을 미쳤다.
또한 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41790068/amc-ceo-is-confident-and-optimistic-about-cinema-chains-future-as-q3-earnings-show-revenue-beat-rec" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">AMC CEO는 3분기 실적이 매출 초과, 식음료 매출 기록 경신으로 이어지면서 영화관 체인의 미래에 대해 &#8216;확신과 낙관적&#8217;이라고 말했다</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록버스터 베팅</h2>
AMC는 관객을 다시 끌어들이기 위해 프리미엄 경험에 큰 베팅을 하고 있다. CEO 애덤 아론(Adam Aron)의 &#8220;고 플랜(<a href="https://investor.amctheatres.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/372/amc-theatres-announces-amcs-go-plan-a-multi-year-plan-to-invest-up-to-1-5-billion-over-four-to-seven-years-greatly-improving-the-movie-going-experience-at-amc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Go Plan</a>)&#8221;은 10억 달러 이상의 스크린 개선, 고급 좌석 및 고급 팝콘 통에 대한 투자 계획을 포함하고 있다.
이러한 이니셔티브가 매출 성장을 촉진할 수 있지만, 분석가들은 과도한 지출에 대해 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/18/amc-debt-threatens-its-ability-to-ride-the-box-office-rebound.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">경고</a>한다. 로스 캐피털(Roth Capital)의 애널리스트인 에릭 핸들러(Eric Handler)는 &#8220;여전히 현금 흐름을 신중하게 관리해야 한다&#8221;고 경고한다.
그러나 투자자들은 여전히 회의적이다. AMC는 자본을 조달하기 위해 주식을 발행하는 경향이 있어 주주 가치를 희석시켰으며, 이는 고가의 영화 간식보다 매력적이지 않은 주식을 만들었다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">기술적 스크립트 전개</h2>
다가오는 데스 크로스는 단순한 상징적 의미가 아니다. AMC 주식은 지난 1년 동안 39% 이상 하락했으며, 올해 들어서는 거의 29% 하락했다. 이는 투자자 신뢰가 약화되고 있음을 반영한다. 최근 한 달의 1.63% 상승은 플롯이 두꺼워지기 전의 짧은 휴식 시간처럼 느껴진다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMC가 결말을 수정할 수 있을까?</h2>
어두운 기술적 지표에도 불구하고, 더 나은 속편을 기대할 수 있는 희망이 있다. 할리우드의 2025년과 2026년 라인업은 프랜차이즈 대작들로 가득 차 있어 AMC의 프리미엄 스크린을 채우고 티켓 판매를 촉진할 수 있다.
그러나 질문은 남는다: AMC가 부채를 관리하고 추가적인 희석을 피하며 산업 회복을 활용할 만큼 충분히 오래 버틸 수 있을까?
현재 AMC의 데스 크로스가 다가오면서 시장은 잠재적인 변화가 있을 것으로 예상하고 있는 듯하다. 하지만 그것이 회복으로 이어질지, 또는 더 많은 어려움으로 이어질지는 여전히 불확실하다.
주가 움직임: AMC 엔터테인먼트의 주식은 화요일 0.46% 하락한 4.34달러에 마감했다.
