CinemaCon isn’t just a gathering for Hollywood exclusives and big wigs; it's a huge cinema industry trade show, that covers all facets of the industry such as: the newest equipment, exhibition tools, distribution strategy, marketing, publicity, and advertising.
As well as concessions dealers, showcasing their latest and greatest cinema food!!
Most of the usual suspects of Hollywood were there, but a few larger companies seemed like they were non-existent at the show this year.

Why did they skip the show?
Are these large Hollywood companies banking on streaming vs. cinema, maybe they are taking extra precautions for COVID-19, or are they tightening up on budgets?
Thanks to the generosity of Derek H. Potts and his executive team at Deepwater Productions, "Narco Sub" was the ONLY independently produced film being shopped around in the private mixers at CinemaCon.
This is an exclusive and huge opportunity for anyone who works in the film industry.
"Narco Sub" showed true leadership for the independent film community by showing up and representing at CinemaCon 2021.

What makes this year unique vs. past years?
Many things. . .
People are collaborating to seek answers about the future of the industry.
There are actors, producers, architects, and cinema owners in attendance.
We are proud to be a part of a motivated group of people who are genuinely interested to find a way to save our precious industry.
What did people talk about at the convention?
Jeff Whipple from Megaplex Theatres in Sandy, Utah suggested that we start a hashtag #CouchesToCinemas or something along those lines. . . It was an intriguing conversation about audiences streaming vs. going to the movies.
The basic idea is that we need to get people to get back into the Cinemas to experience stories on the Big Screens again.
Streaming on a TV is really cool, but the experience of going to a Cinema is something that deserves to be shared with future generations.
