CJ Cinema Summit

Join us on the next CJ Cinema Summit to meet with distributors from around the globe for an update on current events in distribution.

We will be covering how 2023 compares with 2022, and whether the encouraging box office from the first quarter is expected to sustain itself for the remainder of the year

With Germany, France and most of the United Kingdom going into a second lockdown, movie theatres in three of Europe's biggest markets once again find themselves shuttered. We speak to industry leaders in all three territories about what to expect during this second involuntary intermission

Join us for a conversation with Karen Stacey, CEO of Digital Cinema Media, and Kim Ludolf Koch, CEO of Cineplex Germany, to hear their take on how the European markets will handle this, and what learnings they might apply from the last lockdown.

In addition, Eric Marti from Comscore will join us with and update on how the numbers are looking in France.
