- The Housemaid – a thriller based on Freida McFadden’s novel – helped drive the earnings rebound, and a sequel, “The Housemaid’s Secret,” is slated for Dec 17 2027.
- Lionsgate TV revenue fell to $254.6 million and segment profit to $30.5 million as episode‑delivery timing reduced earnings.
- Jon Feltheimer said the studio is seeing signs of an improving operating environment, with audiences returning to theaters and premium formats boosting the movie‑going experience.
Why it matters: Shareholders see a swing to profitability and a beat of Wall Street forecasts, while the TV division’s revenue slump highlights a divergent performance. The earnings surge underscores a renewed appetite for theatrical releases, especially among Gen Z audiences and signals that premium formats are gaining traction.
