Mgmt quotes
“We delivered strong financial results in Q2, highlighted by installation growth of 50%, box office growth of over 40% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 43%.”(CEO)
“We're moving higher in our range for full year installations to between 150 and 160 systems worldwide.”(CEO)
“Q2 was our highest grossing quarter ever at the domestic box office as we remain on track to achieve our guidance of $1.2 billion for the full year.”(CEO)
“Our first half of the year exceeded our expectations on all of our guidance measures.”(CFO)
“The model is working. Filmmakers and studios are partnering with IMAX to deliver the best movie experience.”(CFO)
2026 already has 9 FFI titles; 2027 has at least 8.
IMAX indexed average 15% on FFI films opening weekend in 2025, >20% on 3 of them.
Signed 40-location renewal with Regal; opening new locations in L.A. and NYC.
Mgmt stance: Bullish on FFI selectivity and brand strength; dismissive of PLF competitor talks as “pathetic attempts” unlikely to work.
Q2 — Chad Beynon
Topic: Pricing power with studios & tax rate guidance for H2 2025
Key points:
Q2 tax rate came down significantly vs Q1; full-year effective tax rate is the target.
Mgmt prefers negotiating for IMAX premieres/tagging/filmmaker involvement over changing per-movie pricing.
Mgmt stance: Neutral on pricing – current rate is “fair”; extra leverage used for marketing/experience improvements, not price hikes.
Q3 — Eric Handler
Topic: Content mix (local language, alternative content, anime)
Key points:
Local language content ~40% of box office in 2025 (vs ~20% prior years), boosted by Ne Zha 2 ($160M IMAX).
Demon Slayer set all-time IMAX record in Japan; releasing in 40 other countries.
Alternative content: 7 music events upcoming (e.g., Dead & Company, Prince); League of Legends streamed to 150+ theaters in China.
Mgmt stance: Bullish on local language as a “superpower”; cautious on alternative content – it’s “filler,” not a financial game-changer vs Hollywood/local language.
Q4 — Eric Wold
Topic: Impact of exhibitor midweek discounting (e.g., AMC 50% off Wednesdays) on IMAX
Key points:
IMAX box office ~$700M as of late July 2025 (before Q2 end).
The Odyssey film tickets sold out within 24 hours (often minutes) for a movie opening a year later.
Mgmt stance: Bullish – IMAX premium pricing works; discounting by exhibitors is driven by overbuilt capacity, not IMAX demand; IMAX exclusivity zones and filmmaker relationships insulate it.
Q5 — Steven Frankel
Topic: Alternative content delivery network & CapEx for live-event wiring
Key points:
~200 theaters originally wired for live events; now using streaming (via SSIMWAVE tech) as a more cost-effective method.
League of Legends in China was fully streamed to 150+ theaters with no upfront cabling cost.
Mgmt stance: Bullish on expanding the base without large capital outlay – streaming enables growth without the prior wiring investment.
