Lionsgate reports stronger financial results for its most recent quarter ended in March, crediting the box office performance of “The Housemaid” for improving earnings. Across reporting sources, the company’s motion picture segment shows notable year-over-year gains, with “The Housemaid” contributing to higher segment revenue and profit.
Variety says overall revenues rise to $906.5 million, compared with $865.6 million in the same year-ago quarter, and that profits rebound during the period. It attributes the improvement primarily to the motion picture group’s success tied to “The Housemaid.”
Deadline adds more detail on the motion picture segment, citing segment revenue of $651.9 million and segment profit of $187.1 million, both growing year over year, and notes additional support from ancillary performance tied to other titles. Together, the sources indicate that while overall results improve, the main driver is the film’s performance and related motion picture and ancillary revenue streams.
Lionsgate’s reported numbers reflect its fiscal fourth quarter ended in March, and the company frames the improvement as linked to “The Housemaid.”
