Cinemark Holdings, Inc., has announced the weekend of July 21, 2023, is tracking to be the exhibitor’s best summer weekend box office of all time, as well as one of the highest grossing box office weekends in the Company’s history, according to a Business Wire article.
In the Quad Cities, even at 11 p.m. Sunday business was brisk for busy Cinemark auditoriums at 3601 E. 53rd St., Davenport, where many theater-goers dressed in hot pink to celebrate the hit “Barbie” movie.
Driven by the immense buzz surrounding Barbie and Oppenheimer, as well as carry-over from other films, including Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and Sound of Freedom, consumers underscored their excitement to experience the year’s most compelling films in the shared, immersive environment of a movie theater, the release says.
“People love coming together to experience great storytelling in a movie theater, as proven yet again by the sheer volume of consumers who visited our locations to see Barbie and Oppenheimer during opening weekend,” said Wanda Gierhart Fearing, Cinemark chief marketing and content officer. “It appears Barbie actually is everything, and Christopher Nolan fans turned out in droves to see his newest masterpiece in the larger-than-life theatrical format that he intended.
