RECOGNITION<br />
OF AWARD<br />
ROBERT CARRADY<br />
PRESIDENT<br />
CARIBBEAN CINEMAS<br />
Interview by Daniel Loria<br />
Robert Carrady’s roots always<br />
bring him back to the island.<br />
As president of Caribbean<br />
Cinemas, a circuit founded in<br />
Puerto Rico by his father in<br />
1969, Carrady oversees the<br />
largest exhibition circuit in<br />
the region with a network of nearly 500<br />
screens in 13 territories. Carrady returned<br />
to the family business after completing<br />
his education at Tufts University, coming<br />
back to a small circuit with six screens in<br />
Puerto Rico and a newly opened six-screen<br />
location in the Dominican Republic. With<br />
his involvement, Caribbean Cinemas<br />
has undergone a regional expansion<br />
and become a leader in bringing the<br />
latest cinema technology and concepts<br />
to audiences across the Caribbean.<br />
<strong>Boxoffice</strong> caught up with Carrady ahead<br />
of CinemaCon to discuss what sets the<br />
Caribbean region apart from any other, and<br />
how the circuit overcame terrible obstacles<br />
following 2017’s tragic natural disasters.<br />
