CinemaCon: Who's Bankable In 2013? Exhibitors Spill

deadline.com – Exhibitors I polled this week had more faith in franchises than star-driven blockbusters on the 2013 slate. Like Tom Cruise in Oblivion, Will Smith is still a big deal to theater owners. He’s just not a sure thing in a slow-moving sci-fi vehicle like Sony’s After Earth. Johnny Depp scored biggest with a surprise appearance in front of elated NATO members and the promise of another eccentric blockbuster role, but the specters of Universal’s Cowboys & Aliens and Disney’s own John Carter loom over the Western. 4 weeks 3 days ago via donnieyen

CinemaCon: Theater Owners Forecast 'Fast 6', 'Oblivion', Summer Hits And Bombs

deadline.com – Blockbusters on parade in the official program here at CinemaCon are at the top of most exhibitors’ minds. But theater owners and operators I’ve polled are most uncertain about Friday’s Tom Cruise vehicle Oblivion. They’ve seen the early overseas numbers.
