Ten Hollywood distributors flew in talent and created video reels at this year’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Amid the non-stop four-day rush of showbiz razzle-dazzle and box office posturing, there was real information to be gleaned.
Here’s who came out on top — and who did not.
1. Disney is king, and Jack Sparrow lives
Thanks to CEO Bob Iger’s bets on Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars, Disney really didn’t have to do more than boast about their market share dominance and show the fifth installment of what many perceive as a tired franchise: “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” (May 26).
Many of us were agreeably surprised. Instead of the usual hodgepodge of overwrought action set pieces, Disney, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and writer Jeff Nathanson (“Catch Me If You Can”) actually devised a semi-coherent, engaging narrative that reunites Johnny Depp as graceful drunk Captain Jack...

HBO's "Last Week Tonight" has come into its own in a very short period of time. It helps, of course, that John Oliver isn't doing anything significantly different from when he filled in as "The Daily Show" host last summer, but he and his creative team have taken advantage of the extra lead time that comes with doing only one show a week to really craft each segment and find every single bit of humor and indignation on that week's subject. Case in point, this thorough explanation of the importance of net neutrality, which proved so effective that Oliver's fans temporarily crashed the FCC.gov servers when he sent them there to complain: Or take this segment from this week's show, which is about as effective and funny a takedown of the despicable entity that is FIFA as one can imagine: Now, what's most interesting to me isn't so much...

Updated: HBO‘s president and COO Eric Kessler is leaving the company after 27 years. HBO CEO Richard Plepler just made the announcement in a company memo (read it below), highlighting Kessler’s accomplishments that include launching the network’s signature “It’s Not TV. It’s HBO” marketing campaign. The COO position will not be filled as part of executive streamlining. For the time being, Kessler’s reports Rob Roth, Otto Berkes, Shelley Brindle, Pam Levine and Simon Sutton will report to Plepler, with Kessler staying on to help with the transition. The departure leaves Plepler as the sole executive atop HBO with Michael Lombardo as his top lieutenant, capping a six-year transitional period after the 2007 departure of chairman/CEO Chris Albrecht. The initial HBO management structure featured a quintet of top executives: Bill Nelson succeeding Albrecht as HBO chairman/CEO, with Harold Akselrad, Kessler and Plepler as co-presidents, and Lombardo as West Coast president.
