"While the performance of our theatrical film slate resulted in softer than anticipated results, our other businesses performed strongly in the quarter," said Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer. "With our television business continuing its robust topline and margin growth, a deeper and more diversified film slate with lower costs and contributions anticipated from recently launched businesses, we have a clear path to resume our strong and sustainable financial trajectory in fiscal 2017."
Adjusted net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders of $66.8 million or $0.45 adjusted EPS for the quarter compared to adjusted net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders of $110.0 million or adjusted EPS of $0.79 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $53.6 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $146.8 million in the prior year quarter.
Net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders for the quarter was $40.7 million or EPS of $0.27 on 149.5 million weighted average number of common shares outstanding compared to net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders of $98.2 million or EPS of $0.70 on 140.0 million weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the prior year quarter.
Free cash flow of $73.9 million in the quarter increased from negative free cash flow of $4.6 million in the prior year quarter.
Revenue of $670.5 million for the quarter compared to revenue of $751.3 million in the prior year quarter.
Revenue, adjusted EBITDA and EPS in the quarter declined from the prior year quarter due to the performance of the theatrical film slate. Although The Hunger Games: Mockingjay 2 grossed over $650 million at the global box office, ranking it among the highest-grossing films of the year, its box office performance declined from Mockingjay 1 with higher Mockingjay 2 production costs also impacting its profitability.
During the quarter, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share payable on February 5, 2016 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2015.
Lionsgate's filmed entertainment backlog, or already contracted future revenue not yet recorded, was approximately $1.3 billion at December 31, 2015, increasing from $1.2 billion at September 30, 2015.
Overall Motion Picture segment revenue for the quarter was $505.8 million compared to $590.1 million in the prior year quarter. Although theatrical revenue of $183.1 million was comparable to $186.4 million in the prior year quarter, margins were lower due in part to theatrical P&A expenses associated with four wide film releases in the quarter compared to two wide film releases in the prior year quarter.
Lionsgate's home entertainment revenue from motion picture and television production for the quarter was $142.0 compared to $183.1 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting the composition and timing of the slate of wide release theatrical titles. This offset increased home entertainment revenue from television production in the quarter.
Television revenue included in the Motion Picture segment of $48.6 million in the quarter compared to $82.9 million in the prior year quarter due to timing of titles with television windows opening in the period. The Hunger Games opened in its network television window in the prior year quarter.
International Motion Picture segment revenue of $140.1 million for the quarter compared to $142.1 million in the prior year quarter.
Television production segment revenue of $164.7 million increased from $161.2 million in the prior year quarter. Margins in the Company's television business continued their growth trajectory in the quarter. Domestic television revenues were affected by timing of deliveries in the quarter. Deliveries of the critically-acclaimed hit series Orange is the New Black, Nashville and The Royals are expected to drive strong growth in the fourth quarter along with the first full quarter of results from Pilgrim Studios, in which Lionsgate acquired a majority stake in November 2015.
Lionsgate senior management will hold its analyst and investor conference call to discuss its fiscal 2016 third quarter financial results at 9:00 A.M. ET/6:00 A.M. PT tomorrow, Friday, February 5. Interested parties may participate live in the conference call by calling 1-800-288-8974 (612-332-1213 outside the U.S. and Canada).

Don't forget End of a Gun with Steven Seagal
While LGF may make money on those movies, your sub penny stock will not due to their share dumping and ridiculous agreement to get paid only on the NET, which as any movie person knows, is designed to lose money for tax reasons.
You bought a stock that is worthless.
LGF PARTNER .0001 COMPANY (MHYS) is making great movies for LGF such as HEIST, EXPOSED, TIGER, and MOTHER'S DAY. Will be a great investment.

‘Romeo and Juliet: The War’ Movie in the Works at Lionsgate (EXCLUSIVE)
http://variety.com/2015/film/news/romeo-and-juliet-the-war-movie-lionsgate-1201657971/
1821 Media and Stan Lee’s POW! Entertainment are teaming with Lionsgate to develop a movie based on their graphic novel “Romeo and Juliet: The War,” Variety has learned.
The novel is a reimagining of William Shakespeare’s classic “Romeo and Juliet” tale, created by Stan Lee and Terry Dougas of 1821 Media, written by Max Work with illustrations by Skan Srisuwan.
“What a treat it is to finally announce our partnership with Lionsgate on a project,” said Lee. “The story of Romeo and Juliet is one of my absolute favorites, and I can’t wait to bring our rendition of this classic to life.”
Screenwriter John J. Griffin is adapting the screenplay. Griffin previously won a Nicholl Fellowship for his screenplay “Dream Before Waking.”
Paris Kasidokostas-Latsis and Terry Dougas of 1821 Media will produce. Lee and Gill Champion of POW! will executive produce and Erik Feig and James Myers will oversee the project for Lionsgate.
The book was a New York Times bestseller following its publication in 2012. It was also published in a limited giant edition that set the Guinness World Record for the largest graphic novel.
Kasidokostas-Latsis recently set up the Hercules Film Fund, to bring European investors to Hollywood, and Dougas formed Rhea Films as the producing vehicle for films financed by Hercules. The duo and partner Jean-Luc de Fanti are executive producers on Universal’s Tom Cruise actioner “Mena,” directed by Doug Liman.
“Given their success with franchises such as ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘Divergent’ series, Lionsgate is the perfect partner to adapt this graphic novel which is rich in visuals and set in an incredible, futuristic world,” Kasidokostas-Latsis and Dougas said.
1821 Media’s recent credits include Gavin O’Connor’s “Jane Got a Gun,” starring Natalie Portman, and Paul Weitz’s “Grandma,” starring Lily Tomlin for Sony Classics.
Griffin is represented by WME and managed by Kevin Donahue.

keep responding please
if that LGF is co-producing or distributing that flick, absolutely. LGF is distributing MHYS' HEIST and MHYS' EXPOSED
So based on your belief, if some girl in a Lion's Gate movie makes a home porn flick, that should be shown here as on topic?
The point is this is not going to move LGF's needle...and you're enthusiasm is more directed at the .0001 stock, not the $33.74 LGF is currently trading at
"The film is currently in post-production and scheduled to be theatrically released in the US through Lionsgate's Grindstone Entertainment. Mass Hysteria Co-financed the film under it's wholly owned, Remark Pictures, production banner.

Awesome that a .0001 company (MHYS) is making great movies for LGF such as HEIST, EXPOSED, TIGER, and MOTHER'S DAY. Will be a great investment.

LIONSGATE EXTENDS CONTRACTS OF TWO KEY EXECUTIVES, CO-CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER BRIAN GOLDSMITH AND CHIEF STRATEGIC OFFICER AND GENERAL COUNSEL WAYNE LEVIN
Nov 19, 2015 16:00:00 (ET)
Renewed Agreements Demonstrate Continuity of Company's Executive Team
SANTA MONICA, Calif. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Reflecting the continuity of its executive team, Lionsgate (NYSE:LGF), a premier next generation global content leader, has extended the employment agreements of two of its corporate officers, Brian Goldsmith, Co-Chief Operating Officer, and Wayne Levin, Chief Strategic Officer and General Counsel, it was announced today by Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer, to whom they both report. The renewed agreements demonstrate the depth, experience and continuity of the Company's executive team, most of who have been with Lionsgate and its predecessor companies for over a decade.
"The stability of Lionsgate's management gives us an important advantage in the highly competitive media environment where our team's ability to move quickly and nimbly has benefited us tremendously," said Feltheimer. "As we focus on a balance between organic growth and creating and executing on strategic opportunities, both Wayne and Brian have made exceptional contributions to the direction and operation of our business."
As Chief Strategic Officer and General Counsel, Mr. Levin played an instrumental role in Lionsgate's recently announced partnership with Liberty Global and Discovery Communications as well as its recent investment in unscripted television content leader Pilgrim Studios and its multi-faceted slate financing, film production and television co-production agreement with Hunan TV & Broadcast Intermediary. In his dual operational management and deal making capacities, Mr. Levin has played a leadership role in Lionsgate's evolution into a nearly $6 billion global entertainment company.
He has negotiated and overseen the acquisitions and subsequent integration of such companies as Artisan Entertainment in 2003, Lionsgate U.K. (formerly Redbus Holdings) in 2005, Debmar-Mercury in 2006, Mandate Pictures in 2007, TVGN (formerly TV Guide Network) in 2009 and Summit Entertainment in 2012, as well as Lionsgate's equity investments in Roadside Attractions and Break Media. In addition, Mr. Levin played a key role in structuring Lionsgate's participation in the premium entertainment channel EPIX, launched with partners Viacom and MGM in 2009. Prior to joining the Company when Lionsgate acquired Trimark Holdings in October 2000, Mr. Levin headed up the Business & Legal Affairs department at Trimark Pictures from 1996 through 2000.
As Co-Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Goldsmith is active in negotiating the Company's corporate development activities, including the recent Liberty Global and Discovery deal. In addition, he directs investments in 10 branded channels around the world as well as a broad spectrum of digital initiatives. He was instrumental in the Company's January 2012 acquisition of Summit Entertainment, the August 2011 sale of Canadian distributor Maple Pictures to Alliance Films and the February 2009 acquisition of POP (formerly TVGN, now a 50/50 partnership between Lionsgate and CBS Corporation). He has also worked closely with Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns on Lionsgate's capital structure and corporate financings.
Mr. Goldsmith has also played a significant role in overseeing Lionsgate's partnerships with Viacom and MGM in the EPIX channel and the Company's launch of Celestial Tiger Entertainment in Asia with partners Saban Capital Group and Astro's Celestial Pictures. He also helped develop Lionsgate's content partnerships in China with The Alibaba Group and Hunan TV & Broadcast Intermediary Ltd. Prior to joining Lionsgate, Mr. Goldsmith served as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Mandate Pictures and its predecessor company Senator International, joining Lionsgate after its September 2007 acquisition of Mandate. Previously, Goldsmith worked as a financial analyst and strategic planner at Sony Pictures, beginning his career as a financial analyst at Merrill Lynch.

LIONSGATE REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2016
Revenue is $476.8 Million; Net Loss is $42.1 Million or Net Loss per Share of $0.28;
Adjusted EBITDA is Negative $8.1 Million
Mockingjay - Part 2, Allegiant, Orange is the New Black and Nashville Expected to Drive Film & Television Slates in Second Half of the Year
SANTA MONICA, CA and VANCOUVER, BC, November 9, 2015 - Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF) today reported revenue of $476.8 million, adjusted EBITDA of negative $8.1 million, adjusted net loss of $28.4 million or adjusted net loss per share of $0.19, and net loss of $42.1 million or net loss per share of $0.28 for the fiscal 2016 second quarter ended September 30, 2015.
The Company’s financial results in the quarter were affected by timing of episodic television deliveries and the shift of the wide release of the film Sicario into October. Although the move contributed to the film’s solid box office performance, it resulted in its marketing costs being recorded in the September quarter without significant offsetting revenue benefit. In addition, the wide release American Ultra underperformed during the quarter. The Company also recorded a write-down of $7.2 million on The Last Witch Hunter, a film released after the quarter.
“Although this quarter will be the lightest of the year due to timing and softer-than-anticipated performance of some of our recent film releases, our robust film and television pipelines position us for a very strong second half of the year,” said Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer.
Adjusted EBITDA of negative $8.1 million for the quarter compared to adjusted EBITDA of $59.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net loss of $28.4 million or adjusted net loss per share of $0.19 for the quarter compared to adjusted net income of $33.0 million or adjusted EPS of $0.24 in the prior year quarter.
Net loss for the quarter was $42.1 million or net loss per share of $0.28 on 148.3 million weighted average number of common shares outstanding compared to net income of $20.8 million or EPS of $0.15 on 137.4 million weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the prior year quarter.
Revenue of $476.8 million for the quarter compared to $552.9 million in the prior year quarter.
Lionsgate Increases Quarterly Cash Dividend
During the quarter, the Company increased its quarterly cash dividend by 29% from $0.07 to $0.09 per common share payable on November 10, 2015 to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2015.
Company Reports Combined Cash Balance and Availability of Over $970 Million and Filmed Entertainment Backlog of $1.2 Billion
The Company reported a combined cash balance and availability on its revolving credit facility of over $970 million at September 30, 2015.
Lionsgate’s filmed entertainment backlog, or already contracted future revenue not yet recorded, was approximately $1.2 billion at September 30, 2015.
1
Overall Motion Picture segment revenue for the quarter was $354.0 million compared to $398.0 million in the prior year quarter. Theatrical revenue declined to $26.3 million with only two wide releases in the quarter, American Ultra and Shaun the Sheep.
As noted above, the wide release of the critically-acclaimed revenge thriller Sicario was moved to October 2nd and its performance will be reflected in a third quarter that also includes the release of the eagerly-anticipated fourth installment of the Company’s global blockbuster Hunger Games franchise, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2. Mockingjay 2 will roll out in 86 territories around the world on November 20th, the biggest simultaneous global launch in the Company’s history.
Scheduled wide releases in the fourth quarter include the next film in the hit Divergent series, Allegiant, the visual effects-driven Gods of Egypt and the buddy comedy Dirty Grandpa, starring Robert DeNiro and Zack Efron.
Lionsgate’s home entertainment revenue from motion picture and television production for the quarter was $153.5 million compared to $164.4 million in the prior year quarter due to fewer wide release theatrical titles and product mix. The hit film Insurgent performed well on packaged media, VOD and electronic sell-through during the quarter.
Television revenue included in the Motion Picture segment of $59.9 million in the quarter compared to $69.4 million in the prior year quarter.
International Motion Picture segment revenue for the quarter was $107.8 million compared to $112.9 million in the prior year quarter.
Television production segment revenue was $122.8 million in the quarter compared to $154.9 million in the prior year quarter due to timing of episodic deliveries. Deliveries of the critically-acclaimed hit series Orange is the New Black, Nashville and The Royals are expected to drive revenue growth in the second half of the year. The Company continues to deepen its pipeline of original new series including Casual and Freddie Wong/RocketJump for Hulu, Broke for AMC, Guilt for ABC Family and Graves for Epix.

About Lionsgate
Lionsgate is a nearly $2 billion diversified global entertainment corporation with a leading presence in motion picture production and distribution, television programming and syndication, home entertainment, family entertainment, digital distribution and new channel platforms. Lionsgate's blueprint for growth combines the flexibility and entrepreneurial culture of an independent, with the financial and strategic relationship of a major studio and the structure and consumer focus of a top digital age company.
During the past 10 years, Lionsgate has grown into a leading filmed entertainment studio through a combination of organic growth and accretive strategic acquisitions. With the acquisitions of Artisan Entertainment, Trimark Holdings and other available libraries, Lionsgate now manages one of the most prestigious and prolific libraries in the entertainment industry with nearly 13,000 titles, a diverse portfolio of businesses, and an exciting, commercially potent feature film slate of approximately12 to 15 releases per year.
Lionsgate's feature film slate generated more than half a billion dollars at the North American box office in calendar year 2010, fueled by such box office hits as THE EXPENDABLES, Lionsgate's most profitable film ever, THE LAST EXORCISM, SAW 3D, KICK ASS, TYLER PERRY'S WHY DID I GET MARRIED TOO? and the critically-acclaimed PRECIOUS, which won two Academy Awards®. Other hits in the past two years included DAYBREAKERS, MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT, FORBIDDEN KINGDOM, RAMBO and THE BANK JOB. Lionsgate has earned 55 Academy Award® nominations and 10 Oscar® wins over the past 10 years, more than any other independent studio.
Last fall, the Company announced its plans to partner with Latin media giant Televisa to form Pantelion Films, which acquires, produces and distributes a full slate of English and Spanish language feature films for the fast-growing audience of 26 million Hispanic moviegoers in the U.S. Supported by the top U.S. theatrical exhibition circuits, Pantelion kicked off its slate with the January 28, 2011 debut of the comedy FROM PRADA TO NADA.
The highly diversified company also features a vibrant television production and syndication business with 15 prime-time cable and broadcast network series spanning 12 channels, including the Emmy® Award-winning drama series "Mad Men" and "Weeds," the critically-acclaimed "Nurse Jackie" and the comedy "Blue Mountain State." Lionsgate's television programming has earned 77 Emmy® nominations and seven Emmy® wins in the past 10 years, including 26 Emmy® nominations in the past year alone.
The Company also has a syndicated portfolio of television series through its Debmar-Mercury television distribution arm that includes Tyler Perry's hit "House of Payne," with 212 total episodes produced for Turner Broadcasting and the Fox syndicated station group, its spinoff "Meet the Browns," "The Wendy Williams Show," the recently launched comedy "Are We There Yet?" on TBS, the upcoming "Jeremy Kyle Talk Show" and such evergreen classics as "South Park," "Family Feud" and "Trivial Pursuit."
Lionsgate's $600-million-a-year home entertainment business has 7% market share and the industry's highest box office-to-DVD conversion rate, including such recent hit titles as THE EXPENDABLES, KICK ASS, PRECIOUS, the first five seasons of "Weeds," the first three seasons of "Mad Men" and the first season of "Nurse Jackie."
Lionsgate is also building a portfolio of new channel businesses, including FEARnet, the branded horror channel operated with partners Sony and Comcast, TV Guide Network, acquired in February 2009 and operated in conjunction with JPMorgan's One Equity Partners, EPIX, the new premium entertainment channel with partners Viacom and MGM, and Tiger Gate, which operates the branded action and horror channels Kix and Thrill in Asia in partnership with the Saban Capital Group.
TV Guide Network, a fully distributed channel reaching over 80 million homes, has achieved significant growth of its content and distribution businesses in its first two years under the Lionsgate banner, and it is airing the recently-acquired strips "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Weeds" and "Ugly Betty" with fresh original programming in the pipeline. TV Guide.com is a leading online navigation site which has grown from 5 million to 21 million unique monthly visitors in the past three years.
EPIX continues to gain momentum with its transformative carriage agreement with Netflix along with other recent carriage deals with Verizon, Charter, Cox, Suddenlink, Mediacom, NCTC and DISH Network. EPIX has gone from launch to profitability in its first year and is already available in more than 30 million homes.
Tiger Gate is expanding its distribution footprint across Asia, with recent launches in Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia, and it is scheduled to roll out to the Philippines and additional key Asian territories in the next year. Its Thrill channel showcases high-end local Asian horror films and thrillers and hit television series, and it will also leverage Lionsgate's vast stockpile of horror/thriller content as well as other Hollywood studio hits. The Kix channel is a fast-paced, action-packed channel featuring a mix of Asian blockbuster motion pictures, hit television series, cutting edge reality series, action game shows, anime, extreme sports, mixed martial arts events and classic martial arts masterpieces, bringing together a broad spectrum of Asian content as well as international content with an Asian influence.
Other companies within the Lionsgate family include Lionsgate UK (originally Redbus Film Distributors), acquired in October 2005, and the independent production and distribution company Mandate Pictures, acquired in August 2007, which subsequently released the box office hit and Best Picture Academy Award® nominee JUNO, as well as HAROLD AND KUMAR 2, NICK AND NORA'S INFINITE PLAYLIST and Sam Raimi's DRAG ME TO HELL.
Lionsgate has also made investments in Break.com, the leading online site for young men ages 18-34 with more than 80 million monthly unique users worldwide, and in Roadside Attractions, an independent film production and distribution platform that released the drama WINTER'S BONE, which earned four Academy Award® nominations this year, Best Foreign Language Film nominee BIUTIFUL which also earned a Best Actor nomination for Javier Bardem and last year's Academy Award® winning documentary THE COVE. Lionsgate has also created a vibrant global distribution infrastructure that includes the product of a growing roster of third parties including Relativity Media, Gold Circle Films, Televisa and StudioCanal, in addition to Lionsgate's own content.
During the past 10 years, Lionsgate has grown its revenues eightfold, from $180 million to nearly $1.6 billion, its theatrical box office market share tenfold, the size of its library 15 times over and its television revenues by a multiple of 50, from $8 million in 2000 to $351 million last year.
