Due to the ongoing concerns with Coronavirus, NATO has opted to cancel this month’s CinemaCon in Vegas.
“It is with great regret we are announcing the cancellation of CinemaCon 2020,” said a statement from NATO chief’s John Fithian and Mitch Neuhauser.
“Each spring, motion picture exhibitors, distributors and industry partners from around the world meet in Las Vegas to share information and celebrate the moviegoing experience. This year, due to the travel ban from the European Union, the unique travel difficulties in many other areas of the world and other challenges presented by the Coronavirus pandemic, a significant portion of the worldwide motion picture community is not able to attend CinemaCon. While local outbreaks vary widely in severity, the global circumstances make it impossible for us to mount the show that our attendees have come to expect. After consultation with our attendees, trade show exhibitors, sponsors, and studio presenters, NATO has decided therefore to cancel CinemaCon 2020. We look forward to continuing the 10-year tradition of presenting the largest movie theater convention in the world and joining our attendees in future celebrations of the moviegoing experience,” said a statement issued to press.
The annual gathering of cinema exhibitors and partners was to be held at Caesar’s Palace from March 30-April 2.
