EXCLUSIVE: Those in the city who assume that other primary exhibition circuits can follow the AMC play station and acquire their own 17-day theatrical PVOD receipt with Universal, will soon realize that it can be a bloodless day in hell.
Cineglobal CEO Mooky Greidinger, who oversees the world’s second-largest channel, told Deadline exclusively, “We don’t see any advertising significance in this model.”

The AMC-Universal agreement is a tonic for theatrical activities, Wall Street analysts say, but it increases for exhibitors

Universal and AMC theaters make peace, we open the theatrical window to 17 days with the PVOD option after
“They stay, although we don’t know all the important things and we always analyze the great movement of the apple in the industry, analyze it. People are looking to note that Universal’s first main film probably won’t be released for another six months. so there’s never a lot of apple presbited here, ” said Greidinger, “but we see that this is a bad resolution at the wrong time. It is transparent that we do not seem like converting our policy with regard to the distribution only of videos that respect the theatrical showcase. »
Cineworld’s reaction deserves to be surprising, as it is the similar message Greidinger made strong and transparent in April when AMC was publicly fighting Universal for PVOD cinema. Greidinger said then, “We’re making it transparent so that movies that don’t respect the windows aren’t shown.”
Cineglobal’s Regal is the moment when a larger chain has 7.15 screens in five42 twarmers in 42 states. In total, Cineglobal operates in 10 countries with 787 sites, with a total of 9, 5,500 screens.
Universal has an offshore cast in MGM’s Bond film No Time to Die in November with upcoming films scheduled to be released for anything else of the year: MGM’s Candyguy on October 16, DreamWorks Animation’s The Croods 2 on December 23 and Tom Hanks World News’ periodical will report on December 23. His perfect films don’t appear until 2021 with F9, Jurassic World: Dominion and Minions: Rise of Gru, so there’s a wonderful variety of time before seeing if this deal has influence on the general: cinemas are visiting to reopen with Warner Bros. ‘Tenet and we don’t know what the business will be like until then.
Moreover, I also consider that this AMC-Universal agreement is an experiment in the United States, and that the conditions for the conclusion of this agreement in foreign markets have not begun to be decided. Three-quarters of the global exposure is foreign, and resources say it can be difficult for Universal to conclude foreign agreements.
In addition, Apple’s big players in distribution and exhibition wonder the idea of the duration of AMC and Universal’s “pluriannuel”. Is it two years? Because he’s never a big threat. If it’s four to five years, become interesting.
Meanwhile, Cinemark, when it arrived yesterday, was not held for comment. The assumption of one or more movie executives yesterday is that the channel founded in Plano, Texas, is not rushing to seek a similar deal that AMC and Universal have in preparation. This is despite the reality that Cinemark CEO Mark Zoradi said in a new call for profit in June: “We are open to discussing with studio partners the feasible features we can consider.”
However, Zoradi explained to Deadline the similar month by saying that “the wonderful videos, the ones that matter, those films from an economic point of view will have to travel to the cinemas. It’s an apple that charges more than $40 billion. In fact, in 2019, it was $42 billion worldwide. And in some cases, the component or more of the coins in the transmission of primary videos comes from global cinema. You can’t just erase that and think the economy will work. And, frankly, studios recognize that Disney does it clearly, Warners does, and I think Universal does it in its wonderful videos. And that’s why movies like F9, Jurassic World: Dominion and Minions: The Rise of Gru all go to the videos because they would like that h8 source of coins on the cover coming out of the videos ».
In addition, NATO did not issue a response to the AMC-Universal deal yesterday, despite slamming the latter in April for their decision to go theatrical-PVOD day and date on Trolls World Tour.
A mid-time exhibition guest shouted in Deadline about NATO and its silence at the AMC-Universal agreement: “Did NATO not wake up to constitute us? What’s going on in NATO? You are the voice for us. reasons why we can’t get along.”
The last time AMC took this address exclusively with Paramount in 201 five for a truncated theatrical release of the Scout Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and Blumhouse’s parageneral activity: the phantom dimension, ended up being a crisis with the 2 films dying in the box’s workplace respectively. $3.7 million in the domestic market position and $18.3 million in the domestic market position. Rival exhibitors were angry through Paramount’s exclusive agreement with AMC and refused to connect to the studio experience, were hired to achieve a percentage of the entertainment coins in the first home of the photos.
By the way, talk to independent exhibitors who participated in this Paramount-AMC experiment, and be assured that they weren’t exactly rolling in the dough.
