Lionsgate's Film Studio Shines, Ad Revenue Slumps in Q3 Amid Biopic Buzz
6 Nov
Summary
- Lionsgate's film studio revenue down, but profit up on fewer but better-received releases
- TV production revenue and profit declined due to timing of episodic deliveries
- Billionaire Cohen triples stake as studio readies biopic 'Michael' for April release
In the third quarter of 2025, Lionsgate Studios experienced a mixed performance, with its film division seeing a revenue decline but a significant profit increase, while the television production segment faced challenges due to the timing of episodic deliveries.
The Motion Picture segment of the standalone studio reported revenue of $276.4 million, down from $409 million a year earlier, as the company released two wide releases compared to five in the same period last year. However, the two films were better received, and the segment's profit jumped to $30.5 million from $1.7 million.
On the television side, revenue fell to $198.7 million from $24.4 million, reflecting the timing of episodic deliveries, some of which were pushed into the second half of the fiscal year. Consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at $475 million, down from $604 million.
