Search every verified Eddy Duquenne interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Eddy Duquenne, CEO of Kinepolis since 2008, appeared on the program "It's all about the strategy" on July 1, 2026, to discuss the company's strategy. During the interview, he described Kinepolis as a "multibrand dealer" that distributes films for studios, primarily major Hollywood studios. He gave an example of operational efficiency, noting that engineers installed a €1,500 system that selects less humid air for cooling auditoriums, saving €750 per screen per year with a two-year payback. He also stated that Kinepolis no longer charges for toilet access, explaining that the cost of free toilets is offset by increased beverage sales. Duquenne expressed the view that Kinepolis is "a fantastic company" that remains undervalued on the stock market and, in his opinion, is a buy-worthy stock at its current share price. His remarks were followed by commentary from KBC Securities analyst Guy Sips, who provided his own perspective on the company.
