"Carmike got off to a strong start to the year as we outperformed the industry in box office growth. Our leading position in 3-D enabled us to capitalize on the success of the Hannah Montana concert event and illustrates the growth opportunity that our 3-D and digital network provides. While the other films released during the first quarter were not as robust, we still generated solid growth in revenues," said Michael W. Patrick, Carmike's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited to see the real potential of our digital theatre network start to unfold and we will continue to implement initiatives to improve our cost-controls at the theatre level. We also remain committed to executing our operating performance improvement plan to drive increased cash flow over time."
