Lionsgate Set Up to Benefit From 'The Housemaid,' 2026 Movie Slate -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2025-12-23

1310 ET - Lionsgate Studios is set up for a strong holiday season and 2026 thanks to a solid slate of movies, Benchmark analyst Matthew Harrigan says. "The Housemaid" starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney is on track for a high return, given its relatively low budget of around $35 million, Harrigan says. It's benefiting from strong pop-culture appeal, especially among women and people 25 years of age or older. In the coming year the studio also has slated a Michael Jackson biopic and a "Hunger Games" prequel, Harrigan says. Lionsgate shares touched a 52-week high of $8.75 on Dec. 17, and are up 21% in the past three months. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
