Lionsgate’s release of John Wick: Chapter 4 and the continued strength of the company’s 18,000-title film and TV library helped the company post fiscal fourth-quarter results ahead of Wall Street expectations.
Adjusted earnings per share in the period ending March 31 came in at 21 cents, far better than analysts’ consensus outlook for a loss of 9 cents a share. Revenue of $1.086 billion in the quarter climbed 17% from the year-ago quarter and beat the Street by $92 million.
The library closed the fiscal year with two stellar quarters, bringing in a record $884 million over the trailing 12 months, the company said.
Revenue in the company’s Media Networks unit inched up 2% to $389 million, with proceeds from domestic streaming revenue and Lionsgate+ (the rebranded assets formerly known as Starzplay) offset by lower domestic linear revenue. Profit in the division more than doubled to $73.3 million, driven by growth in Lionsgate+ revenue, lower distribution and marketing expenses and lower content expenses at Lionsgate+ linked to international market closures.
Total global OTT subscribers increased by 1.3 million over the previous quarter on a pro forma basis (i.e. excluding subscribers in territories where the company has exited or is about to exit. As of the March 31 end of the fiscal year, the company reported 30.3 domestic and international subscribers across linear and streaming, down from 35 million at the end of the prior quarter.
Film results in the period included revenue from Plane and Jesus Revolution, each of which cracked $50 million at the global box office. John Wick: Chapter 4 came out a week before the end of the quarter, on March 24, and has gone on to gross a franchise-best $428 million. Most of its

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Morgan Wallen was poised to have a 13th straight week topping the Billboard 200 album chart, but someone who more regularly weaponizes the number 13 had other plans. Taylor Swift stopped Wallen’s possibly historic run at 12 weeks, as her 2022 album “Midnights” reclaimed the top spot due to the release of deluxe editions with hotly anticipated new tracks. All of the different variations of “Midnights” count as one for charting purposes. After never leaving the top 10 since it came out last year, and recently spending a number of weeks at No. 2, “Midnights” returned to No. 1 with 282,000 album-equivalent units for the week. It wasn’t a close call, as Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” album registered 126,000 units to slip to No. 2. If it hadn’t been Swift toppling Wallen, it almost could have been somewhere else. The country star’s long-standing smash was nearly in a tie with Lil Durk’s “Almost Healed,” which came in third with 125,000 units.

It was a great night for Disney as Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny had a smash debut in its World Premiere Thursday evening at the Cannes Film Festival where the June 30th release received a warm 5 minute standing ovation, especially for Harrison Ford in his swan song in the title role he started playing 40 + years ago. There noticeably to witness the French love and affection was none other than Disney boss Bob Iger attending his first-ever Cannes Festival (believe it or not) and even taking his own photos during the ovation for the movie. At the Carlton Beach after party I told him Deadline had just been the first to post its review, a rave (from our colleague Stephanie Bunbury) and you could see the absolute relief on his face. “You have made me very happy to hear that, ” he told me, and he meant it. All this came on the same day Disney took another shot at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by announcing the cancellation of a plan to move several thousand California employees to Florida. The Cannes respite must have been nice.
Beyoncé‘s concert last night (May 18).Thousands of fans descended on the Welsh capital’s Principality Stadium on Wednesday for the music icon’s first UK date of her ‘Renaissance’ world tour.Ahead of the show, South Wales police said the facial recognition technology would be used in Cardiff city centre, but not at the stadium itself, to help identify people wanted for “priority offences” (via The BBC).They added that it would be used “to support policing in the identification of persons wanted for priority offences… to support law enforcement… and to ensure the safeguarding of children and vulnerable persons”.“Facial Recognition is not a condition of entry and it will not be on the stadium footprint,” a spokesperson said.However, the technology has been criticised by human rights campaigners due to concern about racial bias.South Wales Police added that the biometric data won’t be stored of anyone who is not on a watch list, and is instead immediately deleted.The same technology was used at the King’s Coronation where campaigners expressed similar human rights concerns.Daragh Murray, a senior lecturer of law at Queen Mary University in London, told The Guardian that he found it “very hard to believe that it could be useful at a concert, or at a rugby match”.“But given the really significant interference with human rights, I think it’s up to the police to provide a really compelling argument as to why it’s necessary.”The UK leg of Beyoncé’s world tour continues this week in Edinburgh (20), followed by Sunderland (23).
