Kevin Feige Unleashes 9 Minutes of “Deadpool & Wolverine” at CinemaCon
Disney’s presentation at this year’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas was a lot less PG than it usually is. That’s because this year, the studio had Deadpool & Wolverine to show off, the latest installment in the raunchiest, most ribald franchise in the superhero world.

CinemaCon 2014: Universal Unveils Summer Lineup
While it’s an inexact science figuring out how much a festival crowd’s enthusiasm means for the future of a film, the screening of Universal’s Neighbors at SXSW must have delighted many in the studio.

Universal is offering a look at their summer slate today at CinemaCon,
CinemaCon 2014: A Brief History of Moviegoing
There's no substitute for watching movies in a theater. These days it's easy to watch the same film at home, but without the surround sound, the larger-than-life screen, the crowd around you making every emotion more intense and the tingle of excitement as the lights darken as you and all the strangers around you set off together on a journey into another world- it's not really the same film at all.
This week CinemaCon is taking place in Las Vegas.

Why the Experience of Seeing Movies in the Theater Will Never Get Old
It’s well past midnight at the Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn, yet nearly every seat in the theater is taken. There’s a palatable sense of glee in the dark room (likely aided by the cinema’s plentiful bar) as the film reaches its crux: “Run! Go! Get to da choppa!!” screams Arnold Schwarzenegger. The audience breaks into hysterics.
That’s right; we gathered here tonight not to see some newly released Blockbuster but to watch the original 1987 Predator.
