Last weekend’s encouraging box office results from the opening of Wonder Woman 1984 prompted an increase in the share prices for most public companies involved in the exhibition. Shares in Cinemark, IMAX, Marcus and National CineMedia all rose at the prospect of a brighter 2021. AMC was a notable exception, with its shares wallowing at $2.38, with continued concern from investors about liquidity at the nation’s largest exhibitor. The opening $16.9M weekend box office for Wonder Woman 1984 was better than results from any other film released during the pandemic, even with Warner Bros. also releasing the film at the same time for home viewing on HBO Max. Analyst Eric Wold from B Riley wrote, “We believe this helps support the thesis that when consumers are allowed back to theatres with attractive content, they will once again become moviegoers—with the industry having the potential to begin returning to normal in 2022.”
