CinemaCon 2024 has become the focal point for major film studios to showcase their upcoming projects, drawing attention from across the movie industry. Warner Bros. led the charge with a presentation that included first looks at highly anticipated sequels such as 'Joker: Folie à Deux' and 'Beetlejuice 2'. The 'Joker' sequel, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, intrigued audiences with its musical elements and a storyline that sees the Joker in prison, meeting Harley Quinn, and delving into Arthur and Harley's story. Meanwhile, 'Beetlejuice 2' promises a return to Tim Burton's unique world, exploring three generations of the Deetz women. Other highlights included 'The Fall Guy', releasing on May 3 and receiving positive early reviews for its action-packed tribute to moviemaking, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Crunchyroll's presentation, having released 157 films globally to date, emphasized the growing significance of anime in theaters. The event underscored a broader industry message about the importance of a diverse movie slate beyond just blockbusters, with calls for more support for films with smaller budgets.
