Sony Pictures will not have a showcase of their upcoming films at the annual movie theater trade show CinemaCon in Las Vegas this April, TheWrap has learned.

This isn’t the first time that the parent company of Columbia, TriStar, Screen Gems and Playstation Productions has sat out the show. Sony stayed home in 2019 despite having a slate that included films like “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time …in Hollywood,” and Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women.”

While Sony did not elaborate on why it sat out, insiders at the studio told TheWrap that it is focusing on getting its films prepped for theatrical release and that it was not a sign of decreased support for exhibitors.
