CinemaCon Should Take A Lesson From Gaming Trade Shows
I’m pretty sure CinemaCon is trying to kill me, specifically. Among the many reveals were the first shot of Margot Robbie as Barbie, Olivia Wilde’s promise that Don’t Worry Darling will bring back “good movie sex” through a scene between Harry Styles and Florence Pugh, and a John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas called Ballerina. I will be considering it an origin story for No Time To Die’s Paloma until further notice. Despite all three of these being enough to stop my heart (what does ‘good movie sex’ mean, Olivia?!), overall it feels like despite showcasing movies with mass appeal, CinemaCon was too insular, and could take a lesson from gaming conventions.
