The Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS) is a U.S.-based company operating in two primary segments: movie theatres and hotels/resorts. Through its Marcus Theatres, Movie Tavern by Marcus, and BistroPlex brands, the company runs a family entertainment center and multiscreen motion picture theatres. In hospitality, it owns, operates, and manages full-service hotels and resorts, provides management services to vacation ownership developments and condominium hotels, and offers commercial laundry services.
Founded in 1935 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Marcus Corporation trades on the NYSE as a small-cap stock classified within the GICS Communication Services sector under the Movies & Entertainment sub-industry. The companys business model spans both consumer discretionary segments, with movie exhibition typically tied to film release cycles and box office performance, while its hospitality operations generate revenue from room rentals, resort services, and third-party management contracts. This dual-segment structure provides some diversification across entertainment and lodging demand cycles.
