Cinema is just getting started and we know that the positive momentum will keep building as these key titles roll out”.

Over the past months we’ve seen audiences skyrocket, which not only is driven by blockbuster titles like The Batman, Spiderman, and Uncharted, but the shared experience that youth audiences are looking for, which cinema delivers and reinforces the fact that cinema should be a part of every youth campaign.”
