< Previous(Mitch Neuhauser Continued) new treats and concessions we take with us to our seats as the lights are about to dim (courtesy of our partners at EF&B/NAC). In giving thanks and recognition, we would also like to single out the continued support we receive from Barco, Christie, Dolby, Harkness Screens and Q-Sys as it concerns the presentation in The Colosseum. The success of CinemaCon is thanks to an abundance of support and a unique collaboration between so many companies and individuals. As always, the health, safety and welfare of our attendees is a priority, which brings us to our security measures. When you enter The Colosseum there will be a designated entrance for large bags and back packs (including the official CinemaCon Goody Bag). If possible, simply leave large bags in your hotel room as that will make entry to events much easier. We will be moderating the flow of entry into The Colosseum and have added additional security throughout the venue. When the lights go down, we will be working behind the scenes to make sure we provide as safe an environment as possible. I would like to thank the Cinema United Conventions Committee including Trevor Baker, John Curry, Greg Heckmann, Gregory Quinn, Nikkole Denson-Randolph, Damon Rubio and Sabrina Starr, our Vice Chair Miguel Rivera, and our Chair Racheal Wilson. Their insight and guidance over the course of the year, along with that of Michael O’Leary and the entire Cinema United organization, have proved invaluable. Lastly, I would like to thank my incomparable Team CinemaCon who work tirelessly for you and the entire industry in making sure CinemaCon is the best it can be - Matt Pollock and Matt Shapiro. Words cannot adequately express my deep appreciation for them. Have a great week and if there is anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable, please let us know. The Official Convention ofOfficial Presenting Sponsor of CinemaCon 2025 CinemaCon and the Worldwide Motion Picture Theater Industry would like to express its gratitude and appreciation to:Light years ahead of its time From the smallest screen to premium large format theatres, DLP ® technology is the leader in digital cinema projection worldwide.As we gather at CinemaCon to celebrate our wonderful industry, it’s important to take a moment and remind everyone that we are not a Hollywood industry, but a Main Street industry, one that unites communities around the globe. At home, movie theatres of all sizes are the cornerstone of communities in cities, big and small, across all 50 states, from Arizona and Nebraska to Missouri, Georgia, and Wisconsin. This has been true for over a century, and it will be true for generations to come. It is not just the hundreds of independent theatres that dot our great nation, but also the industry’s largest circuits which are based in Kansas City, Knoxville and Dallas— not New York or Los Angeles. Most importantly, as a Main Street industry, theatrical exhibition is universally a hometown-focused “real people” business, connecting neighbors and made up of hard-working, entrepreneurial people who have proven time and again a resilience toward situations often stacked against them. Despite the existential challenges facing our industry over the past five years, many failed to comprehend the strength and fight of the women and men who operate movie theatres across this great nation. Theatres did not perish as some suggested they would; and now, our industry sits on the verge of a renaissance—the next great era of moviegoing. Operators of all sizes and around the globe are leading the charge by reinvesting in their theatres and working doggedly to create experiences that will thrill and entertain audiences for generations to come—and consumers everywhere are responding. The program at CinemaCon this year boasts a powerhouse line-up of support from the world’s greatest film distributors, including Angel Studios, Lionsgate, NEON, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures/Focus Features, The Walt Disney Studios and the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, along with Amazon MGM Studios joining the main stage presentation for the first time. We thank all of them for their commitment to exhibition and look forward to what I know will be an amazing show. Their support speaks directly to the cultural and economic power of the theatrical experience. The studios know that despite consumers today having more options than ever before, nothing competes with the magic of seeing movies on the big screen. That is why movies which start their journeys in your theatres are more successful than those that do not. Due to your hard work and passion, going to the theatre remains the world’s premier entertainment option. As we look to the future, we must tirelessly promote this message, not just at CinemaCon but beyond. Our mission is moviegoing; and together, we are Cinema United.
