CinemaCon 2021 Postponed to August 23-26

CinemaCon, the annual convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners, will celebrate its 2021 edition four months later than previously scheduled.

The next edition of the event, which attracts over 7,500 cinema professionals from around the world, will be held from August 23-26 at its usual site, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event had been previously scheduled to take place on April 26-29.

Organizers cited international travel restrictions and ongoing restrictions on large gatherings stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic as the primary causes for postponement.

“With all the travel, logistical, and capacity concerns for the convention, our 7,500 attendees, vendors, and studio distribution partners, we couldn’t guarantee we could present the kind of show the industry expects in April,” said CinemaCon Managing Director, Mitch Neuhauser. “In close consultation with our studio and industry partners, we are rescheduling CinemaCon for August, when we think we can put on the kind of showcase we do best, and celebrate the moviegoing experience with the entire industry.”

CinemaCon is the largest convention and trade show for the global cinema industry, bringing together movie theater executives, distributors, and vendors in a four-day event designed to promote the theatrical moviegoing experience. The 2020 edition of the event, originally scheduled to take place in April, was cancelled in March due to the onset of the global Covid-19 pandemic.

The western-drama-thriller starring Diane Lane and Kevin Costner is the latest offering from Focus Features, under Universal Pictures, during exhibition’s mid-pandemic restart.

Weekend Forecast: Solstice Studios’ Unhinged and Nolan’s Inception 10th Anniversary Event Set to Welcome Moviegoers Back to Domestic Theaters

To quote Lennon and McCarthy, it’s been a long and winding road. As of this weekend, though, major theater chains across the United States will finally be back up and running with the domestic market’s first wide release since March. Following months of speculation and delayed reopening plans, Solstice Studios’ Unhinged is the film setting the stage for more to come in the weeks and months ahead. It’s a watershed moment oft-planned by the startup distributor throughout the summer as spikes of the COVID-19 pandemic across the country resulted in multiple studio and exhibitor delays, but one that will finally come to pass — and one with significant meaning for exhibitor support. Solstice is releasing the film in 44 states, representing 70 percent of physical theaters. The total theater count is estimated at 2,000, with the expectation of adding between 200 and 300 locations on August 28 when another wave of theaters from major theaters plan to resume operations. Overseas markets have se...
