PVR INOX second-quarter profit more than doubled, the multiplex operator reported on Wednesday, thanks to a robust lineup of film releases and box office collections.
The company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹263 crore ($27.63 million) in the quarter ended September 30, compared to ₹106 crore a year earlier.
Ticket sales increased nearly 18 per cent year-on-year, while occupancy expanded by 170 basis points.
Average ticket price rose 14 per cent year-on-year, while average food and beverage spend per head also rose 14 per cent.
The multiplex operator said it was on track to open 90 to 100 new screens in fiscal year 2027.
Revenue from operations rose nearly 17 per cent to ₹2,105 crore, supported by higher admissions and higher average ticket prices
English-language blockbusters like “The Odyssey” and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”, made more than ₹233 crore and ₹608 crore respectively in sales, PVR said, driving 23 per cent year-on-year growth in gross box office collections.
PVR Inox and its smaller peers typically face volatile earnings because blockbuster releases are uneven through the year and competition from streamers like Netflix and Amazon Prime remains stiff.
