Everyman cinemas pins its hopes on a host of upcoming blockbusters for 2024

Everyman is pinning its hopes on a host of films this year including Paddington In Peru, Dune: Part II and Gladiator 2.

The cinema chain, which has 44 sites with 152 screens around the country, said it expects business to be boosted through 2024 by ‘the continuously improving film slate’.

It also highlighted the upcoming releases of Wicked, Despicable Me 4, Joker: Folie a Deux, Inside Out 2 and Mufasa: The Lion King.

The update came as it reported a 16.7 per cent jump in revenues to £90.9million for the year to December 28. 

Earnings rose 19.1 per cent to £16.2million.

Everyman said the growth came despite its performance in the second half of 2023 being ‘marginally affected’ by writer and actor strikes, which caused some releases to be pushed back into 2024. 

It opened four cinemas last year and also bought Tivoli venues in Bath and Cheltenham after previous owner Empire Cinemas fell into administration.
