POSitive Cinema Hires Emanuele de Plano as Head of Sales

POSitive Cinema announced the addition Thursday of Emanuele de Plano as Head of Sales, where his responsibilities will include sales strategy and development plans for new markets.

Headquartered in Poland with offices in the U.S. and Uruguay, the company provides an integrated suite of business applications designed for cinemas and cinema circuits. These features include scheduling showtimes, ordering concessions, and moviegoer analytics — and, more recently, selling sanitizer dispensers.

De Plano’s prior position was General Manager for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) for cinema software company Veezi.

“Exhibitors today across the world are having to fast track the digital transition of their business and POSitive is ideally positioned to accompany cinema chains in this process,” he said in a company press release.

“His knowledge will be key to help us to put forward our great offer to the small and medium cinema chain sector and strengthen POSitive Cinema’s position globally,” added CEO Gregory Siewiera.

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.

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’ ...

Weekend Box Office Forecast: Will Come Play Dethrone Honest Thief for a First Place Halloween Debut?

The domestic market is grinding through what’s long been evident to become a slow portion of the theatrical reopening phase ever since major studios fled the fall season, delaying their tentpoles due to the effects of the pandemic. As October comes to a close, only one new film is heading into wide release this weekend: Focus Features’ Come Play . The PG-13 horror thriller is ideally timed for Halloween weekend with the holiday landing on a Saturday this year. Boasting a short 96-minute run time, the film’s accessibility is a strength as it aims to draw fans of the genre at the peak of spooky season. Come Play ‘s marketing footprint has been respectable for a non-major studio release (although Focus is parented by Universal). Social media metrics are modest, but the film has generated over 8 million views from its official trailer page on YouTube since debuting in late August. Current models suggest it should outperform fellow genre pic The Empty Man , which bowed to lukewarm results ...
