trade show

Nguyen, 26, had just returned from a trade show where the president’s trade war “was all that people wanted to talk about.”

Coming off a tough first quarter at the box office, studios showed off their best films, and in some cases, star-studded casts, at the annual CinemaCon trade show in Las Vegas.

On the trade show floor, all manner of vendors were selling the latest popcorn toppings, reclining theater seats, carpet samples and a smart bar that said it would pour the perfect cocktail in four seconds.

The halls near the trade show looked like an extended movie theater lobby with all manner of illuminated posters and standees for upcoming films.

During their presentation at CinemaCon — the movie business’ trade show in Las Vegas — they elicited cheers after bringing out Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor to promote their upcoming film, “One Battle After Another.”
