Cineplex (TSX:CGX) reported box office revenues of C$55.3 million for May 2025, marking a significant 163 per cent increase compared to February 2024.
In a media release, the theatre chain pointed to the momentum gained from a record-breaking April continued into May thanks to more major titles with Final Destination: Bloodlines scoring a franchise-best domestic box office after just three weeks; Lilo & Stitch, set a new record for the biggest May opening for a live-action remake; and Mission: Impossible – the Final Reckoning, which opened to the highest domestic box office in the franchise’s history. If there’s one thing Tom Cruise needs, it’s more money.
Two movies with “final” in the title that probably won’t be the final installment in either franchise, and a remake, were the best-of-the-best last month, a “breadth of titles” according to Cineplex’s president and CEO, Ellis Jacob, that represents the “diverse films” the box office has to offer.
“The strength of content continues in June with the live action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon, Elio, 28 Years Later and Apple’s F1: The Movie,” he added, referring to another live-action remake, another sequel, and a fictional story about F1 racing.
To be fair, compare to last year, May 2024’s top films at Cineplex were and sequel and a remake (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), a movie based on an old TV show (The Fall Guy), and a sequel (prequel?) in a quasi-reboot (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga).
