News Corporation, the parent company of Twentieth Century Fox, mentions The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in their quarterly profits report.
The Filmed Entertainment segment of the corporation had a $210 million operating income (after depreciation) for the quarter ending June 30, 2011—up from $137 million in the same quarter of 2010. Part of the difference was attributed to the Dawn Treader film.
The 53%, or $73 million, growth was due to the worldwide theatrical performance of Rio (which has generated over $475 million of worldwide box office receipts to date), the home entertainment performance of Black Swan and The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and timing of revenue availability for worldwide pay and free TV catalog product. Fourth quarter results also benefited from increased operating profit at Twentieth Century Fox Television, which was led by the growth of digital distribution revenue from library content and contributions from the Glee concert tour.
