Imax Soars to New Heights: Global Box Office Surges 50% in 2025

In a remarkable turnaround, Imax has seen a significant surge in its global box office performance in 2025. According to the company's third-quarter financial results, Imax's global box office has risen by a staggering 50% to $368 million, compared to $239 million in the same period a year earlier.

This impressive growth can be attributed to Imax's diversified content portfolio, which spans Hollywood blockbusters, local language films, and other alternative fare. The company's revenue has increased by 17% to $106.7 million, while net income has risen by 48% to $22.6 million.

Notably, local language films have played an increasingly important role in Imax's global box office success. In the first nine months of 2025, local language box office accounted for 36% of Imax's global box office, up from under 20% in the same period a year earlier. This shift reflects the growing demand for diverse content and the company's ability to cater to local audiences around the world.

Looking ahead, Imax remains optimistic about its future prospects, reiterating its expectation of a record $1.2 billion in global box office by 2025. The company's unique positioning and its ability to adapt to changing market dynamics have been key drivers of its remarkable comeback in the post-pandemic era.
