CinemaCon took place last week, with thousands of movie theater representatives on hand to express optimism, as we ease out of covid.

There was genuine excitement around the spike in box office returns, the upcoming tentpole movies, and the Top Gun sequel Maverick. The Tom Cruise title will make its way to Cannes later this month before hitting theaters nationwide.

Newfound powers fight mysterious dangers from the multiverse in Everything Everywhere All At Once, the underdog hit that premiered at South by Southwest this past spring.

Things are definitely looking up.
