Thanks for the Info Rob..
But did you mean - "Theme park revenue increased from $735 million to $1,019 million."
So this is $1,019 Million is $1 Billion....

Brian: Yes, you got it right. That's the fourth quarter 2014 vs. fourth quarter 2015 (with adjustments for Orlando Japan acquisition that occurred somewhere during that quarter). Comcast attributed the numbers to increased attendance & spending due to Halloween Horror Nights, Diagon Alley & Fast & Furious. They don't separate Hollywood from Orlando in their report, so I don't know the percentage increases attributed to the respective resorts themselves.
