Estimated Box Office on RealD-Enabled Screens for December 2012

 

LOS ANGELES (January 10, 2013) - RealD Inc. (NYSE: RLD) today announced that for December 2012, box office on RealD-enabled screens is estimated to be approximately $324 million ($136 million domestic, $188 million international).  This represents the third monthly period of RealD’s third quarter of fiscal 2013 ended December 31, 2012.

 

For the entire third quarter of fiscal 2013, box office on RealD-enabled screens is estimated to be approximately $643 million ($299 million domestic, $344 million international).

 

RealD’s third quarter of fiscal 2013 began on September 22, 2012 and ended on December 31, 2012, a longer quarterly reporting period than the year-ago period due to RealD’s previously announced change in quarterly reporting.  All future quarterly periods will coincide with traditional quarterly reporting periods going forward.  For example, RealD’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 began on January 1, 2013 and will end on March 31, 2013.

 

Note: international box office reflects RealD’s estimates of international box office generated on RealD-enabled screens in 20 foreign countries where box office tracking is available.  RealD estimates these countries represent approximately 90% of RealD’s international license revenues.  In addition, the announcements of estimated box office on RealD-enabled screens may contain currently updated estimates for prior monthly periods within the quarter.
