Universal's strong debut will be a vindication for Ackman, who was forced into an embarrassing u-turn after U.S. regulators blocked his plans to invest into Universal via his special purpose acquisition company in July.

The COVID-19 pandemic hit live concerts and Universal's merchandising business, but ad-supported revenues have picked up after a blip.
