<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/wicked-box-office-gladiator-previews-1236069327/">https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/wicked-box-office-gladiator-previews-1236069327/</a>
Call it whatever you want &mdash; Glicked, Wikiator or Barbienheimer 2.0. The only thing that matters is that the domestic <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/box-office/">box office</a> is <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/moana-2-tracking-record-thanksgiving-opening-1236055787/">springing back to life in historic fashio</a>n thanks to the combo of Universal&#39;s musical <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/wicked/">Wicked</a> and Paramount&#39;s <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/gladiator-ii/">Gladiator II</a>.
Fueled largely by females, Wicked grossed a huge $11 million in Thursday previews from 3,3000 cinemas for a total preview tally of $19.2 million when factoring in special advance screenings held over the past week. On Monday, Amazon Prime screenings generated $2.5 million at 750 theaters, while advance screenings on Wednesday generated another $5.7 million from 2,000 theaters.
Filmmaker Jon M. Chu&#39;s adaptation of the popular Broadway musical boasts a high-profile cast led by <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/ariana-grande/">Ariana Grande</a> and Cynthia Erivo, and should score one of the top opening of all time for a musical, and particularly a live-action musical (think anywhere from $85 million to $150 million). That&#39;s good news for the genre, which has a decidedly mixed record. It&#39;s also good news for Universal, which took a major gamble in making two movies. Wicked II hits theaters a year from now.
The $150 film was originally set to open Nov. 27, the day before Thanksgiving, but moved up to build word of mouth heading into Thanksgiving week. The new date also allows gives it some breathing room from Disney&#39;s <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/moana-2/">Moana 2</a>, which sails into theaters on the 27th. Moana 2 is likewise looking like a monster and is expected to lead the biggest five-day holiday weekend of all time (Wednesday through Sunday).
Social media has been abuzz with speculation that Gladiator II and Wicked will replicate the Barbenheimer effect this weekend and be the perfect pairing in terms of attracting males and females to the multiplex. Wicked presently boasts an 89 percent fresh ratings critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and Gladiator, 72 percent.
Originally based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire &mdash; Wicked tells the untold story of the witches of Oz, with Erivo as Elphaba and Grande as Glinda. Winnie Holzman, the stage production&#39;s book writer, wrote the screenplay for Chu&#39;s movie with Dana Fox. Academy Award-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz adapted the musical for the screen.
Directed by Ridley Scott, the $250 million Gladiator sequel opens 24 years after the first film and is looks to open to hearty $65 million or thereabouts. The follow-up stars Paul Mescal, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/denzel-washington/">Denzel Washington</a>, Connie Nielsen and Fred Hechinger, among others.
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/gladiator-2-trailer-paul-mescal-1236009553/">The film </a>sees Mescal playing a grown-up Lucius Verus II, a nephew of Emperor Commodus from the original film, played by Joaquin Phoenix. Lucius returns to Rome after being forced into slavery to battle not as a ruler but as a gladiator out for revenge and power, seeking to return the glory of Rome to its people.

"Box Office: 'Wicked' Earns Huge $19M From Week-Long Previews, 'Gladiator II' Soars to $6.5M on Thursday Alone" - Hollywood Reporter

JPMorgan has unveiled his latest picks for short positions, flagging three stocks — IMAX Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMAX#NYSE">IMAX</a>), ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIM#NYSE">ZIM</a>), and H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUL#NYSE">FUL</a>)— as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/short-ideas">potential downside plays</a>. 
Each faces unique headwinds, with challenging market dynamics and heightened financial strain.
Here&#8217;s why these stocks are under the microscope for short-sellers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IMAX: The Big Screen, But Smaller Numbers?</h2>
While IMAX has been a leader in high-end cinematic experiences, analyst David Karnovsky is cautious. 
Despite the distinct appeal of IMAX theaters, its global Digital Media Remastering (DMR) business is having a rough year. Karnovsky sees more pain ahead, projecting a 13.4% downside due to a weak 2024 box office outlook and an unclear path for 2025 growth. 
With blockbusters not consistently delivering and a heavy reliance on DMR performance, IMAX's valuation could be ripe for a correction. Trading at 10x its estimated 2024 EBITDA, the stock appears to lack a clear path to blockbuster gains.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">H.B. Fuller: Sticking With The Wrong Glue?</h2>
H.B. Fuller, a stalwart in adhesives and specialty chemicals, is also facing challenges, according to analyst Jeffrey Zekauskas. 
The company's margins are under pressure amid rising input costs, and its limited cash generation capacity after acquisitions is compounding issues. Fuller trades at 9.6x its 2025 EBITDA estimate, and with a potential price drop of around 6%, the stock doesn't seem to have much room to maneuver. 
Zekauskas sees weak cash flows and pricing pressures as hurdles that may stick with the company well into the future, making it a less-than-attractive hold.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ZIM Integrated Shipping: Treading Water With A Heavy Load</h2>
ZIM Integrated Shipping is perhaps the most vulnerable of the trio. With 85% of its volume exposed to spot markets and a significant chunk of its vessels on charters, ZIM is at the mercy of fluctuating container rates. 
Analyst Alexia Dogani sees a whopping 58% downside by 2025 as the company grapples with shrinking EBITDA, rising debt, and heavy capital investments. At 6.1x its 2025 EBITDA and 1.1x book value, the math isn't adding up in ZIM's favor, making it a risky bet for long-term investors.
JPMorgan&#8217;s bearish outlook for IMAX, H.B. Fuller, and ZIM highlights the hurdles these companies face in their respective sectors. From blockbuster inconsistencies to sticky pricing and a sinking shipping market, these companies are navigating challenging waters.

Following the success of &#8220;Oppenheimer,&#8221; renowned director&nbsp;Christopher Nolan&nbsp;has reportedly joined forces with actor&nbsp;Matt Damon&nbsp;for a new IMAX Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMAX#NYSE">IMAX</a>) film. 
What Happened: Nolan, who bagged an Oscar for &#8220;Oppenheimer,&#8221; is returning to Universal Pictures, which is owned by the&nbsp;Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) for his upcoming project, <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/10/christopher-nolan-new-movie-matt-damon-release-date-1236099940/">reported</a> Deadline, citing sources.
The film is set for an IMAX&nbsp;release on July 17, 2026,&nbsp;and shooting could start in early 2025.

This will be the third collaboration between Damon and Nolan, following &#8220;Interstellar&#8221; and &#8220;Oppenheimer.&#8221;
Nolan is known for his tendency to reteam with actors, and Damon joins Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy in the list of actors who&nbsp;have worked with Nolan on&nbsp;multiple occasions.
With the project now officially underway, it is expected to attract a host of A-list talent to join Damon in the ensemble cast, the report noted.
Why It Matters: Nolan&#8217;s decision to continue with Universal is not surprising, considering the success of &#8220;Oppenheimer.&#8221; 
The film raked in $328.9 million domestically and $975.6 million worldwide, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37600557/oppenheimer-scoops-the-96th-academy-awards-with-7-oscars-emma-stone-a-second-actress-award-">bagging seven Oscars</a> including Best Picture and Best Director.
&#8220;Oppenheimer&#8221; significantly contributed to Comcast&#8217;s third-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/10/35437693/comcast-says-oppenheimer-grossed-more-than-900m-loses-broadband-subs-in-q3-stock-tanks">financial year 2023 revenue</a> growth. The company reportedly revenue growth reaching $30.12 billion, surpassing the expected $29.69 billion at the time.
Peacock, a streaming service owned by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast, reported an almost 80% year-over-year increase, reaching 28 million. The platform&#8217;s revenue surged by 64%, hitting $830 million during the same time.
Similarly, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/10/35416714/imax-q3-earnings-smashes-estimates-on-box-office-strength">IMAX&#8217;s third-quarter earning</a> in financial year 2023 was also driven by the success of Oppenheimer.
At the time, IMAX reported a 51% year-over-year increase in sales, reaching $103.90 million, surpassing the analyst consensus of $100.72 million.
The movie company also noted that the third quarter was its second-highest-grossing quarter ever at the IMAX global box office.

<h4>Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Imax China reported its profit fell 9% to $12.65 million in the first half of this year</li>
<li>Some observers expect a potential new privatization bid for the Chinese cinema company by its Canadian parent, after a previous bid failed</li>
</ul>
By Lau Chi Hang
It once wowed investors with a story of riches from the potent combination of its big-screen technology and a booming Chinese box office with potential to become the world&rsquo;s largest. But these days&nbsp;Imax China Holding Inc.&nbsp;(1970.HK) looks far less promising, as its technology that once looked so hot has failed to catch on and growth at China&rsquo;s box office also slows.
The China unit of Canada&rsquo;s&nbsp;Imax Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/imax#NYSE">IMAX</a>) has also been far from a crowd pleaser among investors, with its shares now trading 72% below what they fetched when the company made a Hong Kong IPO in 2015.&nbsp;
The disappointment continued this year, as Imax China&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2024/0725/2024072501559.pdf">reported&nbsp;</a>its revenue fell 3.2% in the first half of 2024 to $43.9 million, while its profit also sagged nearly 9% to $12.65 million. The company&rsquo;s gross margin also fell 6.1 percentage points to 57.2% from 63.3% a year earlier.
Imax is known for its film production and projection systems with higher resolution, sharpness, greater contrast and more complete color than traditional movie technology. Imax China gets its revenue from two sources, namely, &ldquo;content solutions&rdquo; that convert movies and other content into the Imax format; and other technology products and services that include rentals, sales and maintenance for Imax systems used by third-party cinema operators.
Content solutions is the smaller of that pair, taking a beating as its revenue tumbled 34% in the first half to $9.35 million. It blamed the decline on weak Imax movie ticket sales, which fell to $108 million during the six months from $165 million a year earlier. Its technology products and services fare better, with revenue up 10% to $34.1 million year-on-year.
<h3>Unsuitable Films</h3>
One of Imax&rsquo;s strongest selling points is the high-resolution and 3D qualities it brings to films. But the format isn&rsquo;t necessary for all movies, and is generally best suited to genres like science fiction, fantasy or movies with very visually distinct scenes. Other genres, such as art-house, romance, comedy or daily life-themed movies, benefit little from the format.
Accordingly, years with more visually attractive films tend to bring a strong box office for Imax China. Last year was a case in point with the release in China of a series of sci-fi, fantasy and other visually notable blockbusters, including &ldquo;Avatar: The Way of Water,&rdquo; &ldquo;Oppenheimer,&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Wandering Earth 2.&rdquo; Audiences often preferred to watch such films in Imax theaters and willingly paid a premium for the more expensive tickets, generating a revenue bonanza for the company. But this year so far has failed to produce a similar string of suitable big hits for Imax&rsquo;s big-screen format, pressuring the company&rsquo;s ticket sales.&nbsp;
<h3>Waning&nbsp;Box Office Boom</h3>
Another factor hitting the company is the fading of a movie-going boom after China lifted its strict pandemic restrictions at the start of last year. People flocked to theaters at first in their eagerness to get out and about again, fueling a surge in ticket sales.&nbsp;
But that boom has subsided lately as China&rsquo;s slowing economy causes consumers to rein in their spending. China&rsquo;s box office took in 1.53 billion yuan ($214 million) during this year&rsquo;s five-day Labor Day holiday at the beginning of May, similar to the previous year. If the remaining two months of the summer holidays are similar to July&rsquo;s box office of 7.5 billion yuan, the summer box office is likely to total less than 20 billion yuan this year, also flat from last year&rsquo;s 20.6 billion yuan.&nbsp;
Such a slowdown doesn&rsquo;t bode well for Imax China&rsquo;s prospects, at least not in the near-term. When it went public in 2015, investors were mesmerized with a Chinese box office that grew 30.7% in the period from 2010 to 2014. At that time, a growing preference for premium viewing experiences by China&rsquo;s growing middle class also convinced investors that demand for Imax movies would continue to grow.&nbsp;。
But the fast growth slammed to a halt during the pandemic, and has failed to return since then, with demand for Imax movies falling far short of expectation. While things picked up after the end of pandemic restrictions last year, the new normal characterized by an economic slowdown and consumer caution is hurting demand for more premium products like Imax films.
<h3>Privatization Story</h3>
Imax China&rsquo;s stock fell nearly 7% after the interim results were announced, and the stock is now down 86% from the HK$60 it reached not long after its listing.
Last July, its Canadian parent attempted to take the company private and offered to purchase the shares for HK$10 apiece, representing a 40% premium to the price before the offer. But the Canadian fund Letko rejected the offer as too low, and also opposed the privatization as the Chinese box office seemed to be coming back to life. Its opposition and a subsequent shareholder revolt ultimately caused the privatization bid to fail.
To get its way, Imax threatened that its China offspring might stop paying dividends if minority shareholders didn&rsquo;t approve the privatization. That left a bad taste in the mouth of many investors, surprised at how far the company was willing to go to complete the delisting.&nbsp;
The privatization bid&rsquo;s collapse sent Imax China&rsquo;s stock into a tailspin, though it has started to recover since May. That&rsquo;s fueling speculation that some investors may be returning to the stock in anticipation of a new privatization bid with a similar premium to the first one.&nbsp;
Imax China&rsquo;s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio currently stands at 13 times, which looks relatively strong considering that many rivals like&nbsp;AMC&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>) and&nbsp;Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment&nbsp;(1132.HK) are still losing money. But it could have room to grow further if a new privatization offer may be coming. That said, the stock really doesn&rsquo;t seem to offer much for investors right now purely based on the company&rsquo;s fundamentals, given the slowdown in China&rsquo;s movie market and growing consumer caution that may dampen demand for its pricier Imax movie tickets.&nbsp;
