Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), one of the largest and most influential theatrical exhibition companies in the world, today announced record-breaking results for the second quarter 2026 as more than 60 million moviegoers chose Cinemark theaters to experience Hollywood’s newest releases. Notably, the second quarter marks the first time Cinemark has surpassed $1 billion in quarterly revenue, which is attributable to its best-ever performance in box office, premium formats, concessions and loyalty.

“Our historic second quarter results demonstrate the strength of our differentiated entertainment offerings, the meaningful progress we have made enhancing the experiences we provide our guests, and our ability to make the most of a robust box office environment,” said Sean Gamble, Cinemark President & CEO. “Movie fans turned out in force for an exceptional lineup of films and enthusiastically embraced our immersive premium viewing options, expanded food and beverage offerings, merchandise, and loyalty benefits.”

Box Office

Cinemark achieved all-time high worldwide quarterly admission revenues of $540 million during the second quarter, driven by a steady stream of compelling new films on the big screen and the company’s ongoing efforts to grow audiences through strategic programming, impactful marketing initiatives, industry-leading loyalty programs and enhanced moviegoing experiences. A diverse mix of films resonated strongly with Cinemark audiences, driving increased attendance across the company’s global circuit. Even with higher theater traffic, Cinemark’s dedicated team continued to provide exceptional cinematic experiences, with guest service scores that continue to receive high satisfaction ratings from approximately 95 percent of domestic patrons.

Moviegoers increasingly chose Cinemark’s premium entertainment offerings during the second quarter, driving all-time high sales across Cinemark XD, the world’s No. 1 exhibitor-branded premium large format, ScreenX’s immersive 270-degree panoramic screens and D-BOX motion seats. These record results reflect growing consumer demand for premium moviegoing options and Cinemark’s ongoing investments to provide movie fans with greater access to the biggest screens, clearest sound and most high-tech auditoriums for today’s highly anticipated films. Cinemark also maintains the highest penetration of luxury recliner seats among major U.S. movie theater chains, a guest-favorite amenity that further enhances the comfort and enjoyment of the big-screen action.

Food, Beverage and Merchandise

Moviegoers continued to embrace Cinemark’s broad range of food, beverage and merchandise offerings, driving record-high global concession revenue of $433 million and all-time high domestic per-capita spending. These results reflect guests’ enthusiasm for an increasingly diverse selection of fan-favorite movie snacks, restaurant-quality menu items and film-inspired limited time offerings that enhance the overall movie theater experience.

Cinemark also achieved record merchandise sales during the quarter, as movie-themed collectible items tied to popular films gave fans new ways to celebrate and engage with the stories they love. Especially popular items during the quarter were the Yoshi popcorn bucket from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Grogu-themed merchandise related to Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and an iconic red popcorn purse connected to The Devil Wears Prada 2. In addition, Cinemark delivered record results through in-theater mobile ordering and continued growth across third-party delivery platforms DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub and 7NOW, making it easier than ever for consumers to enjoy Cinemark concessions both at the theater and at home.

Loyalty

Cinemark Movie Club, the company’s U.S. monthly movie ticket subscription program, reached a major milestone during the second quarter by surpassing 1.5 million members. With more than 5,000 members per theater, Movie Club’s continued growth underscores its popularity among moviegoers and the meaningful flexibility, convenience and discounts it provides. During the second quarter, members accounted for approximately 30 percent of Cinemark’s domestic box office as they took advantage of the program’s shareable benefits and other member perks. Since its launch, Movie Club has sold more than 200 million tickets, demonstrating the enduring appeal among fans and the significant role it plays in connecting audiences with the movies they love.

Globally, nearly 30 million moviegoers are enrolled in Cinemark’s loyalty programs, enjoying rewards on every purchase, exclusive discounts and access to member-only sweepstakes and prizes.
