Univeral's 1st quarter sees 44 % decline in profit
Apr 23, 2010

Universal Orlando's first quarter profits have been announced and the resort saw a 44 percent decrease from this time last year. 2009 first quarter earnings were $34 million; 2010 has only brought in $19 million. Assumptions are that this is due to the heavy advertising the resort is doing to promote the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Officials are hoping to see an increase in attendance and profits with the opening of the new attraction on June 18.
