There's hopes poor financial results don't spell the final act for cinemas. Revenue dropped for all the Hoyts, Reading and Event Cinemas chains in 2024. Auckland's Capitol Cinema co-owner Roger Wyllie says the combination of Covid and the Hollywood writer's strike brought tough times. He says there are good movies out there - but interest is low. "We've probably done 40 percent on pre-Covid with people coming through the door." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What have Taylor Swift, BTS, the National Theatre and Peppa Pig all have in common? One thing, at least, is that they have all been brought to the big screen by the leading event cinema company, Trafalgar Releasing.  In this episode we speak with Trafalgar's SVP Programming and Content Acquisitions, Kymberli Frueh to discuss all aspects of the event cinema business - from how content is sourced to what makes a great cinema experience and the future of the theatrical business. From devleoping one night only and limited theatrical programs for event cinema in 2005, Kymberli's career spans two decades as a major contributor to acquiring and developing content and programming strategies for exhibition partners. She has been named one of the top 50 women in Global cinema by Celluloid Junkie three times, in 2018, 2022 and 2023. Kymberli first began her career in event cinema with U.S Based Fathom Events where she contributed significantly to the growth of Fathom and the various verticals that remain today. During her tenure, the event cinema company grew from $2M to $75M.  Before her exit, Kymberli managed the acquisitions team in focusing on several vertical offerings that remain today.  Kymberli joined Trafalgar Releasing in 2018 Career highlights include bringing live boxing back to cinemas with the Golden Boy/Mayweather franchise; exhibiting the first BTS event in cinemas globally (with such success that BTS now has recurring events with TR), and most recently working with major artists including The Grateful Dead, Dolly Parton, Metallica, Machine Gun Kelly, Billie Eilish and many more.

Host Jack Benjamin is joined by reporter Ella Sagar and Outvertising and Purpose Union's Cass Naylor to discuss fears of AI's ability to spread disinformation, Journalism Matters week takeaways, and the strength of the ad market as we approach the holiday season.The trio also digs into whether recent box office figures are sustainable, the IAB's first ever brand-building campaign, and whether CEOs are entering their 'supervillain era' in mandating returns to the office.Commenting on takeaways from last week's AI summit, Naylor said: "The most important things that came out of Bletchley were A) an identification of the problem and a mutual agreement of what the problem is among the people that matter — America, China, and the EU — all of whom are taking different speeds in their approach to this; and B) proposals for the industry to institute various forms of self-regulation, which I think is the only way we're going to keep ahead of this."Show highlights:1:30: The risk of AI-generated misinformation8:31: The dangers and possibilities of tailored GPTs15:13: Big Tech's ‘existential threat' to news publishers17:45: The strength of the ad market heading into Christmas season20:44: Growth of the holiday season and favourite Christmas ads28:59: Rapid fire questions29:33: IAB's “chief digital cheerleader” brand-building campaign31:17: Is the UK's recent box office success sustainable post-Barbenheimer?34:51: Clear Channel's earnings and upfronts36:15: Support for the media in the king's speech39:05: Return-to-office mandates – are CEOs entering a supervillain era?41:54: Why is Cass passionate about media? ---Visit The Media Leader for the most authoritative news analysis and comment on what's happening in commercial media.

Right now there are dozens of major film shoots happening all over the country. But the independent sector is doing well too - particularly one project from the top of the South Island. Northspur was shot on a shoestring budget in the Marlborough and Nelson regions, privately funded. And it's already made a breakthrough. The rights for distribution have just been sold to a major US film studio. One of the stars of Northspur is veteran trans-Tasman actor Marshall Napier (Bellbird) who sadly died a week ago, just before the premiere in Blenheim next month. Marshall plays a curmudgeonly loner defending his isolated cabin in a violent, post-pandemic world. Lynn Freeman talks to Northspur's screenwriter Justin Eade and director Aaron Flavely about the film, and the support from the local community for the growth of film industry in the Nelson-Marlborough region. Northspur premieres in Blenheim on the 1st of September at the Event Cinema, before opening around the country.

Tasmania has become the first to close its borders to anyone who visited a “high-risk” site in NSW as Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk advised against travelling to Greater Sydney.Ms Palaszczuk said travel restrictions to Greater Melbourne remained in place for another seven days even though Victoria had eased restrictions and was allowing crowds to return to AFL matches and increasing attendances for weddings, funerals and religious gatherings.“In line with other jurisdictions, we will maintain restrictions on travel from Greater Melbourne for another seven days, and we strongly advise those planning travel to Greater Sydney to reconsider,” Ms Palaszczuk tweeted on Thursday.Her warning against travel to Greater Sydney comes as other state and territory leaders adopt a more cautious approach after two positive cases were detected.NSW recorded two new cases on Wednesday, causing serious concern there may be more positive tests to come after one of those who tested positive visited major retail stores and a cinema.The first positive case visited several venues between June 11-15, including Myer and David Jones at Bondi Junction Westfield, and also caught a movie at Event Cinemas.While the rest of the country adopts a wait-and-see approach, Tasmania has not only conditionally closed its border but called on anyone who has visited a site since June 11 to isolate and get tested. “Anyone who is planning on travelling to Tasmania who has been to any of these high-risk premises at the specified dates and times will not be permitted to enter the state,” Tasmania's director of public healths Mark Veitch said.Queensland chief health officer Jeannette Young was taking no chances and directed anyone who had been to an exposure site to “automatically” quarantine.“It's important that anyone who has been to these venues in Sydney follow the advice of NSW Health and not travel,” Dr Young said. “If you have been to any of these sites and are already in Queensland, you must immediately travel by private transport directly to your home or accommodation and quarantine.”Western Australia's chief health officer Andrew Robertson introduced mandatory quarantine for 14 days from the date of exposure and a test on the 11th day after exposure.“Any risk to WA remains very low but, again, the situation highlights the importance of remaining vigilant to prevent any spread of the virus or community transmission in this state,” he said.The ACT also has a 14-day quarantine direction, while South Australia also requires self-isolation.Victoria, which recorded zero new cases on Thursday, has yet to respond to the two new cases in Sydney.

Bonnie Davies is a West Australian comedian, writer, and producer. She is the founder and CEO of The Gelo Company, and as a producer she's won a bunch of awards and worked with a lot of great people and companies. But Bonnie is more famous (literally!) as her alter ego - Famous Sharron, who is very famous for nothing at all. Famous Sharron has won multiple awards and been crowned the 'Face of WA', is an Ambassador for Event Cinemas, and has lead multiple state advertising campaigns (they won awards too). On top of all that, she's even found time to write a book! I wanted to interview Bonnie not only because she makes me burst with giggles and snorts, but because she is an unconventional woman, making fabulous strides in the field of comedy and arts in Australia. And, though Famous Sharron, helps women 'become the fame they want to see in the world' and celebrate their damn fine selves!

Rachel Tout, Cinema Manager, at Picture House Uckfield, joins Helen for a follow-up chat about their Event Cinema programme after cinema legend Kevin Markwick appeared on the podcast earlier this year.

Thursday, 1st September marked the seventh year for the Korean Film Festival In Australian (KOFFIA). ACMI hosted Melbourne’s festival and invited guests to share canapés of kimchi, cocktails and listen to traditional music on the Gayageum. This festival boasts twenty newly released and critically acclaimed Korean films, however it was the film titled 4th Place, written and directed by Jung Ji-woo, which opened the festival. Commissioned by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, 4th Place delves into the brutal world of competitive sports and questions whether, in the pursuit of success, does the end ever justify the means. Opening with a black-and-white prologue, we are introduced to fresh-faced competitive swimmer, Kim Gwang-su (Jung Ga-ram), who has been tipped as Korea’s future for Olympic success. After returning from practise and looking for dinner, he meets one of the swimming reporters Young-hoon (Choi Moo-sung) and they both partake in a night of heavy drinking. Despite this, Gwang-su swims exceptionally well the following morning and is on track to break records at the International Competitions in the next few weeks. Confident with his progress and times, Gwang-su cuts practise to gamble and drink, missing vital training sessions. His coaches eventually find and punish him for his recklessness, through the method of caning him with wooden pool brooms. After coping several lashes, he storms out of the complex and alerts Young-hoon to write a report about these acts of violence. The storyline skips sixteen years on, now in colour, and focuses on eleven-year-old swimmer Joon-ho (Yoo Jae-sang). Despite high expectations placed on him by his mother, Jeong-ae (Lee Hang-na), he only seems to place fourth at junior competitions. Through the power of prayer and persuasive donations she tracks down a competent coach with unorthodox training methods. Enter Gwang-su (Park Hae-joon); a husk of the once professional swimmer, and now a worker at the local aquatic centre. It starts out with the common sports narrative; an apathetic coach, whose glory was snatched away prematurely during his youth, meets a competent underdog who has a chance at the success he missed out on. Gwang-su commits himself to the project and, as he becomes more desperate to win, his relationship with Joon-ho gradually becomes violent. He begins beating the boy in the same fashion that his coach did to him when he was a young swimmer. Gwang-su plays both the aggressor and consoler; comforting Joon-ho that it was for his own good and that he’s inspiring ambition. The relentless pressures to succeed bleed into Joon-ho’s dreams, and it becomes more apparent he only wants to win for the sake of others. His own drawing of a gold medal hanging on the wall above his bed is enough for him, but it cannot satisfy his mother or Gwang-su. Even after his mother discovers the bruises on his back, Joon-ho is pushed to continue training, in light of his recent second-place win. No one steps in until Joon-ho’s father accidentally learns about the coach’s brutality, and even then he only bribes the coach with money to stop caning their son. Jung’s artfully constructed film points to our performance-driven culture, unhappy with anything less than first place. Lee’s performance as Joon-ho’s mother perfectly embodies the overbearing and paradoxical weight of society’s expectations for each child to be a winner. Park Hae-joon, playing the older version of Gwang-su, is riveting to watch; he has the ability to both terrify and charm, a technique that works on Joon-ho and the audience. A noteworthy scene from the film is where the mother is walking back from the church with her youngest son, Ki-ho (Suh Hwan-hee), and he asks what she prayed for for each family member. She prayed for Joon-ho to come first, and for Ki-ho to attend college when he’s older. When he asks about her own prayers she states she prayed for “nothing” for herself. Her children appear to be her biggest achievement and treats their achievements as her own. Jung navigates the heavy topic of child abuse with sensitivity and grace. It is littered with light-hearted exchanges between all characters and captures the complexity of human nature. It is also beautifully shot, especially the underwater dreamscape scene where Joon-ho tumbles around the shimmering lights refracting underneath the surface of the water. My only criticism is that the relationship between Joon-ho’s father and coach was not fully explored, and as a result Gwang-su’s admission at the end of the film was a little underwhelming. 4th Place will screen in Adelaide’s Palace Nova Cinema on Thursday, 15th September and in Perth’s Event Cinema on Thursday 22nd of September.

My only criticism is that the relationship between Joon-ho’s father and coach was not fully explored, and as a result Gwang-su’s admission at the end of the film was a little underwhelming. 4th Place will screen in Adelaide’s Palace Nova Cinema on Thursday, 15th September and in Perth’s Event Cinema on Thursday 22nd of September.
