Sets against low/no attendance growth over the past 5+ years, shrinking revenues from home entertainment and increasing competition from TV and other platforms, this session will examine whether now is the time to review current working practices and employ new marketing approaches to increase film consumption and cinema going. It will explore whether part of the answer might be working across all film platforms and using social media to drive incremental admissions.

  • Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No
    For Exhibitors May June 1, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 119 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising A very happy 90th birthday to Clint Eastwood, born on 5/31/1930. Over a career spanning six decades, Eastwood has starred in and directed a bounty of Hollywood’s most memorable films. He first rose to fame in the 1960’s starring as “The Man with No Name” in a trilogy of Sergio Leone-directed Spaghetti Westerns, most notably The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966) which is considered by many as the pinnacle of the genre. In the 1970’s Eastwood played Detective Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry cop vigilante series, which turned him into household name and cultural meme – “Go ahead, make my day.” In his early 40’s, Eastwood began working as a filmmaker and developed his following for strong character portrayals. He returned to Westerns with Pale Rider (1985) and Unforgiven (1992), The Good, the Bad and earning him his first Oscars (for Best Director and Best Picture). Eastwood’s work has the Ugly (1966) continued to evolve in the decades since, with acclaimed films including Mystic River (2003), Million Dollar Baby (2004), Gran Torino (2008) and American Sniper (2014). On the (Click to Play and Listen occasion of receiving a National Medal of Arts award, his films were praised as "essays in to the Fantastic Score individuality, hard truths and the essence of what it means to be American." by Ennio Morricone) Million Dollar Baby (2005) “Respect your efforts, respect yourself.

So what’s in store for you at this unprecedented CineEurope Online? I’m pleased to say that, together with our friends at Film Expo Group, we have put together a packed programme that will hopefully inform, entertain and lift everyone’s spirits. Above all, it’s an opportunity to showcase what makes our industry so special and resilient. Because, make no mistake, we’ll be back. We have some great seminars lined up, starting with an executive roundtable on “The Future of the Global Cinema Sector: Preparing for the New Normal” and a session on “Cinema's Strength...And the Way Back”. Comscore will talk about opportunities for the sector and we will also have a very timely session on post-pandemic technologies. We are very grateful to all who have made these sessions possible, through their participation and support, and especially our headline sponsor, the Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola session will take place tomorrow afternoon and focus on how we emerge stronger from the crisis. You can also visit our virtual Trade Show floor and engage with the companies there.

  • In Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino Continues to Evolve and to Surprise Audiences
    “ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD” Preliminary Production Information With Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino continues to evolve and to surprise audiences. While the movie has all of the hallmarks of a Tarantino film – a wholly original story, with fresh characters, presented with bravura technique – his ninth film also breaks new ground for the writer-director. It is a character-driven story, dealing with mature issues of unfulfilled expectations that inevitably confront us all as we age. In Hollywood, this struggle is particularly dramatic, as success and failure live side by side. In Once Upon a Time…, they do so literally as well as figuratively. Uniting two of today’s greatest stars in a first-ever pairing and recreating an entire lost era, the film is big cinema made for the big screen. A true original in a landscape of sequels and superheroes. Set in 1969, Tarantino recreates the time and place of his formative years, when everything – the United States, the city of Los Angeles, the Hollywood star system, even the movies themselves – was at an inflection point, and no one knew where the pieces would land. All this is not entirely dissimilar from the changes buffeting Hollywood today. At the center is Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Rick had been the star of “Bounty Law,” a hit television series in the 50s and early 60s, but his prophesied transition to motion picture stardom never materialized. Now, as Hollywood moves towards a hippie aesthetic, Rick worries that his time has passed – and wonders if there’s still a chance for him.
