Description: MCS Marcus October 23, 2025

The Marcus Corporation (NYSE:MCS) is a diversified hospitality and entertainment operator headquartered in Milwaukee. Through its Marcus Theatres, Movie Tavern, and BistroPlex brands, it runs multiscreen movie theaters and a family entertainment center, while its hotel segment includes full-service properties, managed resorts, and condominium-hotel contracts, complemented by ancillary services such as commercial laundry and vacation-ownership management.

Key metrics from recent filings show FY 2023 revenue of roughly $1.5 billion, with the theater segment contributing about 55 % and hotels 45 %. Occupancy rates for its hotels have been trending upward, reaching an average RevPAR of $96, while theater attendance has recovered to ~80 % of pre-pandemic levels, reflecting improved discretionary spending as inflation pressures ease.

Sector drivers that materially affect MCS include consumer confidence (which influences movie-going and travel demand), competition from streaming platforms, and macro-economic trends such as fuel prices that impact travel behavior. Monitoring these variables is essential for forecasting future earnings.
