There have been discussions on this board questioning why Walt Disney World's attendance figures have dropped, whereas Universal's have not or may have gained. We have, for example, examined graphs of the attedance at Universal and Disney following the opening of the Animal Kingdom and Island Adventures theme parks.
Interestingly, Vivendi has released an earnings report.

Here is the report:

* this refers to declines in revenue for the entertainment division, overall, Vivendi reported a slight increase in revenue.
Is this the result solely of the problems with attendance at the Japanese Universal park? This is the summer quarter that is referred to so it could be due in some part to the Japanese attendance drop, which tanked so badly in August. Was there any drop in Orlando as well?

Lower theme-park attendance also depressed the top line.
Here is the report:

Lower attendance at the Theme Parks, as compared to the same quarter in 2001, also contributed to declines in revenue for the quarter.*
