"The dividend increase reflects our strong financial performance and ongoing commitment to increasing shareholder value.

Our solid balance sheet enables us to return capital to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases, while at the same time continuing to invest in our two businesses and pursue additional growth opportunities, such as our recently completed Movie Tavern acquisition," said Stephen H. Marcus, chairman of The Marcus Corporation.
