Comcast Reports Q3 Revenue Down 6.1% Despite 'The Odyssey' Box Office Success and Peacock Profitability

Comcast reported a 6.1% decrease in Q3 2026 revenue, totaling $29.3 billion, even as Universal's box office revenue surged 77% to $1.1 billion. This increase was primarily driven by Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," which has become Universal's highest-grossing film ever with nearly $1.8 billion worldwide year-to-date. Additionally, the streaming service Peacock achieved its second consecutive profitable quarter, reporting $261 million in adjusted EBITDA.
