CinemaCon 2016: Everything You May Have Missed

Every year for a few days Las Vegas becomes the focal point of the film industry.

The event is CinemaCon and it’s a time where Hollywood studio executives show off their latest and greatest to the theater owners who screen their content. It’s a way of showing the exhibitors what’s coming up this year and beyond.

In a age where streaming media is keeping people away from the theaters this face-time with Cineplex owners is important. It’s a check-in and touch base. It’s a way of showing the industry hasn’t forgotten about the brick-and-mortar buildings that first sold a two-hour escape (along with a large popcorn and drink combo).

On Sunday Benzinga went studio-by-studio recapping all the big news and giving investors and consumers a head’s up as to the major themes learned from the convention.
