CinemaCon 2025 was a massive success!
This year’s convention highlighted an industry that is united and looking toward a bright future. Every single day, exhibitors around the world strive to find creative ways to elevate the moviegoing experience. Some of the exhibitors included in this report have been around for more than 100 years, while others are much newer, yet they are all united by a common goal: ensuring, through continued innovation, that the communal experience of watching a movie on the big screen is here to stay.
From exclusive presentations featuring footage from exciting new films (a total of eight distributors presented in 2025), to must-see premiere feature screenings (Universal’s live-action How to Train Your Dragon won over attendees), to the biggest stars, producers and directors, the convention boosted excitement for the rest of 2025 & beyond.
CinemaCon’s schedule is broad, diverse, educational and fun, and features the largest cinema trade show in the world. It appeals to and attracts all facets of the international motion picture theatre industry—exhibition, distribution, marketing, publicity and advertising, internet and social media and of course, the theatre equipment and concessions manufacturers and dealers who showcase the latest technological advances and innovative concession offerings at the trade show. Our trade show is run in association with our partners at ICTA and NAC.
The exhibition industry is one of storytelling – Cinema United members bring a wide range of stories to the big screen for the moviegoing public to enjoy. At CinemaCon 2025, Cinema United debuted the latest season of its Behind the Screens: The Faces of Exhibition series, which you can watch below.
