The Marcus Corporation reported record third-quarter revenue on Thursday, October 29, 2026, as both its theatre and hotels divisions set quarterly revenue records. The company said total revenue for the period ended September 30 reached USD 237.8 million, according to the Business Wire release published by Yahoo Finance.

Theatres drive operating improvement

Operating income increased to USD 30.3 million from USD 22.7 million in the year-earlier quarter. Net earnings reached USD 18.8 million, or USD 0.60 per diluted share, while adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, rose to USD 49.1 million.

Marcus Theatres generated USD 145.0 million in revenue, up 20.9 percent from the prior-year quarter. Division operating income reached USD 22.2 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased to USD 32.3 million. Same-store attendance grew 16.8 percent, while average ticket prices increased 4.3 percent.

Hotels post revenue record

Hotels and Resorts revenue before cost reimbursements rose 2.0 percent to USD 82.0 million. RevPAR at owned hotels increased 2.1 percent, but division operating income declined to USD 15.3 million and adjusted EBITDA fell to USD 22.6 million. Severe storm damage at one property increased repair costs and reduced revenue.

The company said the fourth-quarter outlook includes a holiday film slate with several franchise releases. Management also cited seasonal travel demand and activity linked to the Milwaukee Brewers' postseason run as potential support for the hotels business.

Company profile and competitive position

Headquartered in Milwaukee, The Marcus Corporation operates two main businesses: Marcus Theatres, a US cinema circuit, and Marcus Hotels & Resorts, which owns or manages hotels, resorts and other properties.
