Wedbush reiterates an 'Outperform' on Carmike Cinemas (NASDAQ: CKEC) price target raised from $10 to $13.50.

Analyst, Michael Pachter, says, "Q4 results exceeded our high expectations...Attendance growth continues to outpace the industry average...Carmike’s Screenvision partnership contributes solid profits...To reach our Q1 box office estimate of up 15.0%, March must end up only 12%. As of March 11, month-to-date box office is up a staggering 54.5%. In our view, 12% growth in March should be easily attainable with such a strong release slate and we believe that consensus has not yet accounted for this strength."

Wedbush raises FY12 EPS estimate from $0.67 to $0.78 and FY12 revs from $493 mln to $512 mln.
