Cinemark Holdings Inc. (CNK - Free Report) is a leading domestic and international motion picture exhibition company, headquartered in Plano, TX. As of Dec 31, 2017, it operated 533 theaters with 5,959 screens in 41 U.S. states, Brazil, Argentina and 13 other Latin American countries.
Of late, Cinemark Holdings has been opening and renovating theaters with state-of-the-art amenities. It recently opened an 8-screen theater in Spanish Fork, UT and another one in Sacramento, CA. Both will feature the company's Luxury Lounger electric recliners in all auditoriums, large wall-to-wall screens, enhanced sound systems and digital presentation in all auditoriums along with Cinemark XD auditorium and Cinema Café. The company also announced the launch of Movie Club, a unique monthly movie membership program, which will offer ticket and concession discounts along with many other exclusive benefits.
Cinemark Holdings also announced plans to renovate and upgrade Cinemark Movies 12 Theater by adding electric reclining Luxury Lounger reclining seats to all auditoriums. We expect such renovations and attractive promotional offers to help the company witness substantial subscriber growth in the to-be reported quarter.
On the other hand, while theater chains remain the preferred choice for film studios, the recent trend of movie watchers opting for streaming services is making film studios seek better terms in box-office revenues with large-screen theater companies. This might hamper profitability.
