Estimated Box Office on RealD-Enabled Screens for

Final Month and Three Month Periods of Q4 FY 2012

 

LOS ANGELES (April 10, 2012) - RealD Inc. (NYSE: RLD) today announced that for the final monthly period of RealD’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, box office on RealD-enabled screens is estimated to be approximately $249 million ($154 million domestic, $95 million international).  The final monthly period of RealD’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 is the five week period from February 18, 2012 through March 23, 2012.

 

For the entire fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, box office on RealD-enabled screens is estimated to be approximately $589 million ($337 million domestic, $252 million international).  RealD’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 began on December 24, 2011 and ended on March 23, 2012.  All of RealD’s quarters are 13 weeks in duration.

 

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.
