The giant-screen exhibitor, led by Richard Gelfond, got a boost from local Japanese titles like Demon Slayer and Shin Evangelion.
Giant-screen exhibitor Imax posted higher first-quarter revenues as it was lifted by a recovery in the Asian box office.
The company, led by CEO Richard Gelfond, reduced its loss attributable to shareholders to $14.8 million, compared with a loss of $49.4 million last year when Imax was hit hard by movie theater closures during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Despite the hit to North American movie theaters from the COVID-19 crisis with theater closures and capacity restrictions, Imax has seen strong box office performance for local titles, mainly in China, Korea and Japan as the Asian market reopened. Imax posted an adjusted loss per share of 25 cents, compared with a loss of 48 cents per share in 2020. Analysts had forecast a per-share loss of 26 cents.
