PRESS RELEASE —

Auckland, NZ September 22, 2020 – Movio, a company specializing in marketing data analytics for the cinema industry, has named Nicolas Maquet as Chief Technology Officer. Maquet, who joined Movio six years ago and was subsequently named Head of Technology, will report to Matthew Liebmann, Chief Operating Officer at Movio.

A native of Belgium, Maquet earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Free University of Brussels in 2006 and remained there as a researcher for four years. In 2011, he became a Software Engineer at Worldline by Atos, an electronic payment system linked to Belgium’s two largest credit card companies, Visa and Mastercard, as well as working as a lecturer at the University of Mons. In 2014, he co-founded DemonSquid, which built web applications for tabletop role-playing games. That same year he joined Movio as a Software Engineer and was made Head of Technology in 2017.

“It’s truly exciting to be part of Movio’s cadre of innovators who care about the movie industry in general and the exhibition space, in particular,” said Maquet. “We’re all movie lovers at the company so to be involved in the cutting-edge research and services that Movio provides to its customers is a remarkable experience.”

“Nic has the extraordinary ability to cut through technological fads to ensure Movio employs the optimum solution to overcome any obstacle,” said Movio Co-Founder and Chief Executive William Palmer. “This approach has led to vast improvements in the cadence and quality of our development and built confidence in our technical direction.”

Showcase Cinemas Brings Early Christmas Magic to the U.K.

Showcase Cinemas kicked off the Christmas season early, Home Alone -style—bringing the Christmas classic to their locations for a special event on Sunday, October 25.  Visitors to the 18 Showcase U.K. locations where Home Alone was screening—the only Showcase location to miss out was their Cardiff theater, as cinemas in Wales were closed—got a free gift of chocolate along with their screening. Attendees at Showcase’s Bluewater location, the chain’s highest-attended in the U.K., got a more interactive ‘Snowcase’ experience, complete with snow machines, Santa’s sleigh, and other Christmas-themed decorations. (Absent were Kevin McCallister-inspired booby traps; probably for the best.) Billed as the U.K.’s first Christmas screening of 2020, the Home Alone event was designed to inject a bit of joy into the lives of patrons in a time when every little bit is much needed. Says Showcase’s Sales and Marketing Director Jon Dixon, “People need that escapism,” which cinema is able to deliver...

Cinemark Q3 Earnings Reports: CEO Mark Zoradi Speaks on “Dynamic Theatrical Windows,” the Success of Private Rentals

Many of the questions asked of Cinemark CEO Mark Zoradi during this morning’s quarterly earnings call were about streaming and theatrical exclusivity—leading the CEO to offer some updates on their evolving windows policy as well as clarify other points about the chain’s status moving into the fourth quarter of 2020. At AMC’s Q3 earnings call, held earlier this week, CEO Adam Aron touted the chain’s deal with Universal, which can see the theatrical exclusivity window for that studio’s titles shrink from the traditional 72 days to as little as 17 at AMC theaters. Cinemark, Zoradi announced, will join AMC in playing upcoming Universal and Focus releases The Croods: A New Age , Freaky , and Let Him Go when they open in theaters this month. Cineworld, owner of Regal, the country’s second largest chain, has made no announcements about reopening the bulk of their theaters in the coming weeks, though none of the handful of Regal theaters open in NY and CA list showtimes for Focus Features’ ...
