Comcast topped estimates for quarterly revenue and profit on Thursday, driven by a surge in theme park attendance sparked by the May debut of “Epic Universe”, growth in its domestic wireless business and a spike in streaming revenue.
The Central Florida attraction boosted theme park revenue by nearly 19% in the second quarter, to $2.35 billion, even though it was open for about one month into the reporting period.
