CJ CGV posted second-quarter consolidated revenue of 593.9 billion won and operating profit of 11.5 billion won, with operating profit jumping 576.4% from a year earlier and pre-tax profit returning to a surplus of 9 billion won. First-half revenue reached 1.17 trillion won and operating profit rose to 20.2 billion won, up 13.8% and 312.2%, respectively. The strongest contribution came from CJ 4DPLEX, whose premium technology formats such as SCREENX and 4DX lifted quarterly revenue to 46.9 billion won and operating profit to 8.3 billion won, helped by strong performances from "Super Mario Galaxy" and "Toy Story 5" in North America. South Korea's business remained loss-making but improved, as revenue rose to 166 billion won and the operating loss narrowed to 6.2 billion won. Analysts cited successful Korean releases, government movie theater discount coupons and restructuring efforts. Among overseas units, Vietnam remained profitable, Indonesia stayed in the black despite a holiday-related market slowdown, Turkey's revenue increased but it posted a loss, and China reported higher audience numbers but a wider operating loss because of exchange-rate effects. CJ OliveNetworks also delivered growth, with revenue of 254.5 billion won and operating profit of 20 billion won, supported by AI transformation (AX, applying AI across business operations) initiatives including next-generation ERP and AI Factory. CEO Jong-min Jeong said the company benefited from visible returns on CJ 4DPLEX's global investments and improving conditions in the domestic film market, and said the second half would focus on expanding premium formats, growing the AX business and strengthening domestic theaters.
