21世纪经济报道记者 贺泓源 北京报道 电影巨头们似乎都不想搞电影了，电影概念已经从小甜甜变成了牛夫人。 近日，阿里影业就表示，其将更名为大麦娱乐。从愿景上，阿里影业要变成现实娱乐平台。这是一种更强调现场体验、互动体验和沉浸体验的娱乐方式。 这听起来几乎与电影没有关系。 今天，我们就来盘点一下，大麦为何能够"吃下"阿里影业？ 首先，从业务来看，大麦确实对阿里影业越来越重要了。在2023年末，阿里影业完成了对大麦的收购。在2025财年（2024年4月-2025年3月），大麦营收 20.57亿元，同比增长38.8%，相较并表收入同比增长235.8%；2025财年，大麦实现分部业绩 12.30 亿元，相较并表分部业绩同比增长338.5%。 作为对比，阿里影业的电影业务处于下滑态势。2025财年，该板块业务收入27.12 亿元，同比下滑10%；分部业绩为0.73亿元，同比下滑91%。 当然，也要明确，截至目前电影依旧是阿里影业最大业务板块。 第二点，从行业地位来看，大麦也要高于淘票票。 大麦在演出票务行业，独处第一梯队。比如，大麦对头部明星演唱会覆盖率接近 100%。2025财年内，大麦服务了张杰、周杰伦、孙燕姿等多 ...
