Box Office Hit ‘The Housemaid’ Burnishes Lionsgate’s March Quarter

Lionsgate Studios blew past Wall Street forecasts for its fiscal fourth quarter ended in March as The Housemaid buoyed results at the motion picture group.

Segment revenue of $651.9 million and sprofit of $187.1 million grew by 23% and 39%, respectively, year-over-year, with the ancillary performance of Now You See Me: Now You Don’t and strong library sales in the mix as well. The Housemaid grossed nearly $400 million at the worldwide box office, had a great PVOD run and became the top Pay One title ever on sister company Starz.

The two recently split into separate public companies.

Television Production revenue of $254.6 million and profit of $30.5 million declined from the prior year quarter due to the timing of episodic deliveries. The company anticipates doubling scripted deliveries in fiscal 2027 from 2026.

Execs will hold a call with analysts at 5 pm ET.
