SPECIAL REPORT: Great States Recap BIG SKY, BIG "HEARTS" Straight From Scenic Kalispell, Mont., Highlights of Great States 2001 \» a,,„ic, km^s,,,, GREAT STATES DAY ONE: GALA OPENING PARTY Attendees Somber as National Tragedy Strikes on Opening Day Conventioneers and staff alike had [dent) on their minds as they congregated for the first annual Great States Theatre Convention, held September 1 l- (9 in Kalispell. Mont. The gathering, which marked the unification of the Rock) Mountain and Geneva conventions, coincided with the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington. D.C., shocking and saddening those in attendance. In his welcoming remarks. Great States co-chairman Dan Klusmann indicated that approximately 80 of 300 expected attendees had not arrived due to the natic cancellation of all flight been quite a day." Klusmann said to the group. "I think we'll alwavs remember it." But he enc those present to have as "'enjoyable time as possible" before asking for a moment of silence "for what happened today." and said to "say our prayers." Meanwhile the conventioneers did indeed try to concentrate on the reason for the gathering. Klusmann's remarks were followed by a good-natured prize giveaway from the golf tournament held in the morning in which the last-place finishers walked away with brand-new wedges while other winners received hotpink pony heads with which to cover their clubs. Discussions around the dinner tables included tales about bear sightings on the show-sponsored Glacier Park tour. The cocktail party was followed by a screening of Buena Vista's 'Big [rouble " Klusmann warned conventioneers that the film is a comedy that contains a plot about a bomb and a plane. He added that given the day's events, the studio had pulled the pic from its release slate—it had been due in theatres in September—to next year. DAY TWO: STARS UNDER THE BIG SKY AWARDS BANQUET Great States Honors Cinemark's Tim Warner The Great States awards banquet took on a roast-like tone as convention co-chairmen Dan Klusmann and Larry Hanson and Founders Award winner Tim Warner had a good time at the expense of each other and _ themselves. Still, it was clear ^ HhH lnat tnese men 'lave tne utmost respect for each other, having all been involved with the Great States Theatre Convention in its earlier incarnation as the Rocky Mountain Theatre Convention since its very inception. In his acceptance speech, Warner. president of Cinemark International, paraphrased Will Rogers, saying. "I've left this industry better than I found it." Having traveled the world introducing the modern cinema to far-off places, he said, "The thing I'm most proud of is a whole new generation of people that I've introduced to what I feel is a great industry. I've tried to pass that love on to them." Unfortunately, like many conventioneers. Distributor of the Year awardee Wayne Lewellen, president of distribution for Paramount Pictures, was unable m be m attendance event in his honor. Warnei co-awardee, "Wayne does a great job working with exhibitors and his company.... He has had the same people working for him for a number of years. That says a lot about him." The evening's festivities were followed by a screening of Warner Bros.' "Hearts in Atlantis," starring Anthony Hopkins. The presentation was in 35mm rather than digital as promoted due to the ongoing transportation difficulties, But the conventioneers seemed taken with the poignant drama and chuckled especially boisterously at the line. "Women. Can't live with 'em. Can't live without 'em. Can't shoot 'em— at least not outside of Montana." DAY THREE: BOXOFFICE CONFERENCE Panelists Diseuss State of the Industry NATO chairman John Fithian. who was schedule to deliver an address on the state of the industry, was among those who could not attend the Great States convention for obvious reasons and sent his regrets. Belinda Judson, executive director of Mid-States NATO, was asked to speak in his place, and the two had a detailed phone conversation about what he would like to have conveyed himself to the conventioneers. Among the topics addressed was the economic state of the industry. Via Judson, Fithian declared. "We are in the recovery stage." The national screen count is down bv about 2.(100 since last year, and box office is up He offered a word o\' caution, however, indicating that there are always places that need new theatres. On the governmental from. Fithian communicated Ins (hanks to exhibitors lor enforcing the
