CinemaCon, the annual convention for theater owners in Las Vegas, will host a new panel on the main stage this year showcasing three smaller distributors alongside panels for the juggernaut studios like Warner Bros. and Disney.
Angel, Row K and StudioCanal will show off their theatrical slates in a new program called CinemaCon Film Showcase, which will take place in the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on the afternoon of April 13.
Angel, formerly Angel Studios, has several 2026 releases on tap including “Young Washington,” while Row K — which was founded last August — has Maude Apatow’s “Poetic License,” the “Cliffhanger” reboot starring Lily James and the TIFF acquisition “Charlie Harper.” StudioCanal, meanwhile, has Eli Roth’s “Ice Cream Man” set for release this year.
“As a global industry that depends on a diverse pipeline of movies from a wide array of distribution partners, we are incredibly excited to welcome Angel, Row K Entertainment and StudioCanal to be part of this important new program on Monday afternoon,” said Michael O’Leary, President and CEO of Cinema United. “Movie theatres around the world in cities and towns of all sizes rely upon these movies 52 weeks out of the year. They are essential to our industry, and by shining a light on these companies, we celebrate their importance in bringing great movies to fans of all ages across the globe.”
CEO of StudioCanal, Chief Content Officer of CANAL+ Anna Marsh commented: “We are thrilled to be part of CinemaCon 2026 and to take part in this inaugural film showcase. Presenting our slate at The Colosseum and connecting with the exhibition community is a very special moment for StudioCanal and the Canal+ group. We remain firmly committed to films made for the big screen, and we thank Michael O’Leary and his team for providing such an important platform to highlight the creativity, ambition and investment behind bringing great stories to cinemas across the globe.”

We’re proud to stand with Cinema United, CinemaCon, and our partners in exhibition as we redefine the future of theatrical moviegoing together.”
