New builds, CapEx ramp detailed
Q&A surfaced Cinemark's reactivated new-build pipeline—Greenville in 2026, Omaha in 2027—driving CapEx to $250M, with $50-60M international. Management framed 2025 softness as cyclical ebb, lacking mega-blockbusters or summer animation, not structural. They detailed domestic concessions per cap up 5% YoY (3pts pricing), modest 2026 growth ahead, and structural share gains >100bps pre-pandemic. LatAm slate looks stronger; alternative content >10% box office. Q&A reaffirms disciplined M&A pursuit. Capacity constraints loom in crowded summer. Watch execution on builds.
