The important and successful rebrand and rebirth, if you will, of what was ShoWest, and is now CinemaCon, was NATO’s idea. What an idea it was, as CinemaCon is now looked upon, globally, as one of the most important and invaluable weeks of the year for our industry. 2020 excluded, we are now 15 strong years running. And now, in March 2025, I get to be a part of yet another momentous occasion, yet another rebrand and rebirth, that being the transition from NATO to Cinema United, which was officially announced on March 18. With CinemaCon being the official convention of Cinema United, we are positioned to be an even stronger, more cohesive and important convention for the global theatrical community that will help us accomplish our mission of celebrating the moviegoing experience. It’s not often someone like me gets to be a part of two occasions like this – a perfect example of lightning striking twice! And now, without further ado, as has been customary since 2011, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to CinemaCon, a place we’re proud to call “home of the no pause button”! Leave your cares at the door, grab some popcorn, candy and drinks, and let our theaters and the magic of the movies do the rest. It’s time for CinemaCon 2025, our time to celebrate the greatness and joys of going to the movies. This week you are going to see an impressive and varied array of product (studio presentations and a terrific screening) meant to be shown on the big screen and only in your theaters — from the mega-budgeted tentpoles to the mid-size thrillers to the smaller, more relatively unknown, waiting to be discovered titles that need a little nurturing. That is what CinemaCon is all about. To our studio partners, equipment and concessions companies who support the trade show, members of the press, our Cinema United exhibitor members, and everyone else on hand this week, our sincerest thanks and gratitude go out to you all. As always, the CinemaCon schedule has been designed to keep you busy. Some highlights this year include our International Day component of the show; a new location for Monday’s opening night party, that being Drai’s nightclub located across the street in The Cromwell Hotel; a Tuesday evening poolside reception themed to the summer films of 2025 and celebrating Fandango’s 25th Anniversary; the all-important trade show and demonstration suites; studio presentations and support from Focus Features, Lionsgate, NEON, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Pictures, The Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures, and taking to the Colosseum stage for the very first time, Amazon MGM Studios. Our week concludes on Thursday evening in grand style with our “Big Screen Achievement Awards” ceremony, followed by a special final night party, all courtesy of The Coca-Cola Company, our Official Presenting Sponsor. For all they continue to do here at CinemaCon and throughout the industry, you couldn’t ask for a better partner. Thanks so much to Dagmar Boggs, Michael Young, Josh Nations, Mayson Spellman and Lauren Fink and the entire team at The Coca-Cola Company. The objective of CinemaCon continues to be a simple one – to provide the entire industry with a forum that is all about exhibition, distribution, the movies of the future, technology that continues to break new ground from both a filmmaking and exhibition standpoint (courtesy of our partners at the ICTA), and, of course, those delectable MITCH NEUHAUSER Managing Director, CinemaCon Welcome to CinemaCon 2025Next >
