A theatre and hotel company whose filing states 8,390 employees, 72% part-time, and nothing by division, so the two divisions are split by revenue with theatres leading.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 17% now, 29% at the end of 2027, 32% at the end of 2028, 33% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 33% desk work, 24% people work and 43% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 69% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 22% becomes checking a model's work and 8% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

- An estimated 17% now and 32% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce The Marcus Corporation's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster.

- 4 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 0 and 4 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
