Estimated Box Office on RealD-Enabled Screens for
Second Four Weeks and Quarter-to-Date Periods of Q4 FY 2012
LOS ANGELES (March 8, 2012) - RealD Inc. (NYSE: RLD) today announced that for the second four week period of RealDs fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, box office on RealD-enabled screens is estimated to be approximately $160 million ($80 million domestic, $80 million international). The second four week period of RealDs fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 is from January 21, 2012 through February 17, 2012.
For the first eight weeks of RealDs fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, box office on RealD-enabled screens is estimated to be approximately $340 million ($183 million domestic, $157 million international). The first eight weeks of RealDs fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 are from December 24, 2011 through February 17, 2012.
All of RealDs quarters are 13 weeks in duration. RealDs fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 ends on Friday, March 23, 2012.
Note: international box office reflects RealDs 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 RealDs 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.
