Imax Corp's stock rose by 6.24% as it crossed above the 5-day SMA, reflecting positive investor sentiment following the record-breaking performance of 'Zootopia 2'.
The film generated $32 million in IMAX ticket sales over the Thanksgiving weekend, contributing significantly to the company's revenue and marking its best holiday performance ever. This success is expected to bolster IMAX's financial outlook as it heads into 2025.
With upcoming releases and a strong lineup for the next year, IMAX is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for cinematic experiences, further enhancing its market presence.
