More Than a Movie: Eventizing the Theatrical Experience
PACKAGE:Moderator: Anne Fitzgerald, Chief Legal Officer and EVP, Real Estate,
Cineplex Entertainment
Panelists:
Alejandro Ramírez Magaña, CEO, Cinépolis
Cathleen Taff, President, Theatrical Distribution and Franchise, The Walt
Disney Studios
Thinking the theatrical experience begins when the lights go down and an
image appears on screen is the wrong way of thinking. In today’s fast-paced,
digital, streaming, and sensory overloaded world, the true theatrical
experience should begin before the moviegoer leaves their home. The
experience needs to begin early on with excitement, anticipation, and
expectation. And then it’s time to make good on those promises at the theater,
culminating with the lights going down and that image appearing on screen.
This session will get into the mindset of what distribution and exhibition need
to be thinking about and acting on so as to create that truly, one-of-a-kind
motion picture theatrical experience.
10:30am – 11:30am
Differentiating the Guest Experience Through Theater Design
Presenter: Cameron Mitchell, CEO, VOX Cinemas
Design internationally is evolving at a record pace, with exhibitors required to
embrace increasing expectations in relation to tech, F&B and customer
experience, all with a view on enhancing the guest experience and driving
market share and earnings. This presentation will look at examples of best
practice from designs around the world, to see what different exhibitors are
doing to ensure their venues are remaining the most attractive leisure offerings
globally.
11:30am – 12:30pm
Data = Opportunity: Opening the Collaborative Window

Studios Distribution (GCC) at Majid Al Futtaim LLC

Luke Vetere, Managing Director, 20th Century Studios Distribution (GCC) at
Majid Al Futtaim LLC
Data is the new oil, and whilst it is often spoken about as being the holy grail
that must be cracked, exhibitors and distributors are still yet to come up with a
workable solution that addresses who owns the data, who can use it, who
pays for it, and how can the industry can universally benefit from the data. This
session will look at some examples of best practice from around the world, and
end with a panel discussion on how studios and exhibitors could collaborate
on driving attendances to the mutual benefit of all stakeholders.

Modern marketers know success is no longer simply a matter of selling a good
product. They’ve learned customer knowledge—understanding, and even
anticipating, the customers’ wants and needs, their orientation and interests,
their attitudes and motivations—is critical to achieving a healthy return on
marketing spend. In this session, you’ll hear how smart marketers are
deploying breakthrough data gathering and management strategies to define
their target audiences, develop three-dimensional personas that enable
compelling communications, create continuous feedback loops that generate
more data and increasingly valuable customer insights and encourage high
value customer loyalty. What’s more, you’ll discover how you can employ
those same simple, cost-efficient tactics to fill theater seats.
