       Item 2.02 Form 8-K dated February 9, 2023

       Exhibit 99.1
       Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 12

   1.                                                   We note your response
to comment 7 and related disclosure on pages 12 and 16. The
                                                        compensation expenses
related to the accretion of the noncontrolling interest discount
                                                        related to Pilgrim
Media Group and 3 Arts Entertainment, the amortization of the
                                                        recoupable portion of
the purchase price, and the earned distributions related to 3 Arts
                                                        Entertainment appear to
be normal and recurring expenses necessary to your operations
                                                        and revenue generating
activities. Please revise your presentation to remove such
                                                        adjustments from your
non-GAAP measure reconciliations. Alternatively, tell us in
 James Barge

         greater detail why these adjustments are appropriate. Refer to
Question 100.01 of the
         Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Lions Gate Entertainment
Corp.
Shareholders..., page 18

2.       We read your response to comment 8. Your non-GAAP adjustment for
deferred tax
         valuation allowance removes the effects of the valuation allowance
from your GAAP tax
         provision and appears to change your income taxes recognition method,
resulting in an
         individually tailored accounting. Please remove this adjustment from
your reconciliation
         of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.
Shareholders. Refer
         to Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and
Disclosure
         Interpretations.
