Profile
Operates movie theaters across the United States and Latin America, earning most revenue from admissions and food and beverage, with advertising and other theater services adding the balance. Premium formats, recliner seating, and loyalty subscriptions deepen spending, while results depend on film supply, theatrical windows, and attendance.
Operates movie theaters through U.S. and International segments, with most locations in the United States and the balance across South and Central America. Revenue comes primarily from admissions and food and beverage, supplemented by screen advertising, auditorium rentals, promotions, and other theater services.
Builds the moviegoing offer around premium formats including Cinemark XD, IMAX, ScreenX, and D-BOX, alongside Luxury Lounger recliners, expanded menus, and Movie Club subscriptions. Its exhibitor-branded XD auditoriums provide programming flexibility without an additional premium-format revenue share beyond normal film rental.
Results depend on the volume and audience appeal of films available for theatrical release, licensing terms and exclusive theatrical windows, attendance, and currency and regulatory conditions across Latin American markets.

Ownership
A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.
