"Proving yet again that he truly is the friendliest neighbor, the record-breaking Spider-Man: Brand New Day is just the latest hit in what has been a tremendous year for moviegoing," said Jeff Tomachek, president of Marcus Theatres. "As evidenced by the massive turnout for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the continued success of The Odyssey and Toy Story 5, and the performance of many other incredible films so far this year, there is no question that audiences of all ages want to experience great movies on the big screen.

Congratulations to our valued associates as they go above and beyond all year long to deliver magical movie memories for our customers."
