Kinepolis Group 4Q24 will be good but not as good as we thought

We updated our FY24 visitor numbers after Canadian peer Cineplex disclosed that recent Hollywood tentpoles like Moana 2 and Wicked fuelled blockbuster box office performance in December 2024 but less than we thought. The Canadian exhibition giant also cautioned Thanksgiving holdovers and more year-end titles left Cineplex still below pre-pandemic box office revenue in Dec-2019. If we extrapolate this (combined with recent Box Office Mojo data for US box office data for 4Q24) we now bank on 33.3m visitors for Kinepolis in FY24 (was 33.9m).
We maintain our Buy rating and € 50 TP.
