With CinemaCon in the hindsight and CineEurope right around the corner, it is great time to take a moment and recollect all that CinemaCon 2018 has brought this year. Full disclaimer, it has not been easy to report all of this to you (I now feel your pain, reporters and journalists!), as my notetaking at the film presentations was practically impossible in complete darkness during film presentations (or with a laser pointing at you when not quick enough to shut off the devices in between)…

CinemaCon 2018 took place at its usual beautiful grounds of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV in April 23-26, 2018. It was a busy and luscious and extravagant (as always) networking event for all film industry representatives – from movie theatre operators, to film content creators, editors, service providers (that’s us, yay!), vendors, journalists, members of NATO and ICTA and many more. TK Architects definitely remained busy with the conference (and we are just now trying to catch our breath after the whirlpool of tradeshow-floor action, non stop seminars, intrepid networking, lead and contact follow ups and “star”gazing euphoria). So, here are a few takeaways by TK Architects from 2018 CinemaCon. (more…)

2017 In Review

By | No Comments

New year, new beginnings… and, boy, did TK have many new beginnings this past year 2017.

The Great Move.

We have moved. It was only across the street, but after many years at the Mark Twain historic tower, we moved to the City Center Square building at 1100 Main St, Suite 2200. We love our new place with bird’s eye views of downtown KC. We jumped at the chance to design the new space to our own liking. It was a long road to perfection (as you can see below), but we are loving our finished and new place now! (If you have not stopped by, please do when you are in the area! ) (more…)

“Shaping the Industry with Design” in FilmJournal

By | No Comments

An article by Sr. Principal, Jack Muffoletto, was featured in September issue of FilmJournal magazine, titled ” Shaping the Industry with Design: Amenities, technology, threats and consolidation influence the new theatre environment”.

In it Jack discussed how do we, the designers, address the key topics that influence the cinema industry. Jacks mentions consolidation, content release issues, technology and amenities among other major topics that have a deep impact on the theatre industry today.

If you want to get someone’s attention, talk about one of these topics that are influencing the cinema industry:

* Seating, self-service, more service, efficiency, “integrated” and “experiential” are the terms and amenities operators are contemplating today.

* I am continually fascinated by the pace of technology solutions entering the industry and the opportunities they create. If you don’t have technology or it is unavailable or slow, the customer quickly grows impatient and might have to wait or rely on others; this is a pain point to avoid.

* For years, industry leaders have contemplated the release window, piracy, VOD and alternative online entertainment options. Customers are truly moving from bricks to clicks, and this is a real threat. However, touch, feel, taste and special events are impossible to achieve online.

* Consolidation is eye-popping and more than likely will continue and create demand for more differentiation and innovation.
