"I believe him," said AMC's CEO on Ellison's promises to expand the theatrical window and release 30 films a year when the Warner Bros. merger closes.

The annual film industry event in Las Vegas was a star-studded affair, as studios brought their top talent to the stage to preview their upcoming slates.

Some of the most hotly anticipated new films of the next couple of years are previewed at CinemaCon.

The sequel is simply called 'Spaceballs: The New One,' and the first footage takes a shot at the 'Avatar' franchise.

From its star-studded stages and glitzy presentations to the merger elephant in the room, CinemaCon is generating a buzz well beyond its trade show roots.
