Exciting Updates on Universal Theme Parks

Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe theme park has exceeded expectations by boosting Universal and Comcast’s theme park revenue significantly. The highly-anticipated park, which opened in May 2025, has proven to be a major success, contributing to a 21.9 percent increase in theme park revenue for Comcast in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The company’s theme park earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization surpassed $1 billion for the first time ever, thanks to the popularity of Epic Universe. The five themed portals and exciting rides at the park have drawn in crowds and generated substantial revenue for Universal theme parks.

Comcast’s film division also experienced a positive quarter, with a 7.4 percent increase in film revenue, largely attributed to the success of the Wicked franchise. The franchise, which has grossed $1.3 billion worldwide, released its second film in November 2025, further contributing to Comcast’s financial success.

Furthermore, Comcast saw a 5.5 percent increase in advertising revenue, driven by strong performance on the Peacock streaming platform and in sports. Peacock revenue reached a record $1.6 billion, with a 22 percent increase in subscriber numbers, totaling 44 million subscriptions.
