Lionsgate Narrows Loss as ‘Michael’ Pushes Quarterly Revenue Up Nearly 50%

The studio says box-office success, library licensing and a bigger scripted TV delivery plan set a path toward sustainable profitability.

Overview

  • Lionsgate reported $776.6 million in revenue for the quarter and a net loss attributable to shareholders of $28.8 million, an improvement from a year-earlier loss.
  • The motion picture group produced $587.3 million in revenue and a $105 million segment profit, driven largely by Antoine Fuqua’s Michael crossing $1 billion worldwide.
  • Television production revenue fell to roughly $189 million because of the timing of episodic deliveries, which management says depressed overall results for the quarter.
  • The company confirmed a Michael sequel is in development and outlined a 2026–2027 film slate plus recent library licensing deals, including multiple Power series to Netflix, to sustain momentum.
  • Executives project stronger TV revenue and profits in fiscal 2027 as scripted deliveries rise and library monetization continues, a shift that could convert the current box-office windfall into lasting profitability.
