Marcus Theatres chief financial officer Jeffry Tomachek has been promoted to lead the division as president, its Milwaukee-based parent company Marcus Corp. announced Tuesday.

Tomachek’s tenure with Marcus Theatres spans nearly three decades, including the past six years as executive vice president and CFO. He succeeds Mark Gramz, who will retire on May 1 after 55 years with the company.

Tomachek was tapped following a national search in which both internal and external candidates were considered. During that process, “it became abundantly clear that the combination of Jeff’s financial acumen, operational expertise, strategic mindset and long history with our company set him apart as the best candidate,” said CEO Greg Marcus in a statement.

“He is deeply passionate about the moviegoing experience and intently focused on driving performance across all facets of the division,” Marcus added.

Tomachek joined Marcus Theatres in 1998 as division controller and moved up into various leadership roles in accounting, finance, design, construction, real estate, food and beverage strategy, and marketing. He was named executive vice president and CFO in 2020. Prior to Marcus Theatres, Tomachek was director of finance at Golden Books Family Entertainment in Racine.

Marcus Theatres is the fourth largest movie theater circuit in the U.S. and currently owns or operates 985 screens at 78 locations in 17 states under the Marcus Theatres, Movie Tavern by Marcus and BistroPlex brands.

The division recently had its highest grossing total revenue five-day Easter holiday weekend in company history, led by the box office success of “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” along with other popular films including “Project Hail Mary,” “Hoppers,” “Scream 7” and “GOAT.”

Marcus Theatres’ fiscal 2025 revenues totaled $462.7 million, up 3.4% from the previous year. Operating income was also up 32.9% at $29.4 million. That contributed to what was overall a strong year for Marcus Corp., with revenues up 3.1% and earnings of $12.7 million, compared to net loss of $7.8 million in fiscal 2024.
