Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman speaks at the CinemaCon
As per Deadline, Tom Rothman, who is the CEO of Sony Pictures, spoke at the 2025 CinemCon and addressed a crowd of people. He mainly spoke about the health of the box office, which has been quite underwhelming lately. Addressing the cost of a ticket and the window given to them, Tom said:
“Cost and windows can work for us or against us. Theatrical needs to be smart about them both. I will let you know that Sony will work with you on both.”
He further showcased that the future can be better if the studios and theaters do their work properly.
“If theaters and studios manage for the long terms, and do the rights things, the future will be grand.”
The Sony head honcho then said,
“The health of the movies are the movies in the movie theaters. Fortunately, there are more great ones coming.”
Prior to starting his presentation for Sony at CinemaCon, he said that you are lucky if you get to make a great film with a great filmmaker. One day, one of the events that took place at the Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, was the revelation of the upcoming Spiderman movie title.
