PRESS RELEASE

CinemaCon

ZENDAYA TO RECEIVE
CINEMACON® STAR OF THE YEAR AWARD

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures'
Dune: Part Two in theatres on November 3, 2023

WASHINGTON D.C. and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (March 28, 2023) – Zendaya will receive this year’s CinemaCon® Star of the Year Award, Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director of CinemaCon, announced today. CinemaCon, the official convention of NATO, will be held April 24-27, 2023, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Zendaya will be presented with this special honor at the Big Screen Achievement Awards ceremony taking place on the evening of Thursday, April 27, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and hosted by official presenting sponsor The Coca-Cola Company.

"In just a few short years, Zendaya has captured audiences' attention with her compassionate performance on the small screen as Rue in Euphoria and has drawn audiences in on the big screen with her performances in Spider-Man: Far from Home, The Greatest Showman, and Dune,” noted Neuhauser. “We could not be more honored to present Zendaya with this year’s CinemaCon Star of the Year Award."

Later this year Zendaya will return to her role as Chani in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ Dune: Part Two. This follow-up film will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee. Zendaya can be seen this fall in MGM’s bold new romantic sports drama called Challengers, also starring Mike Faist (West Side Story) and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, God’s Own Country), directed by Luca Guadagnino (Bones and All, Call Me by Your Name).

With a childhood spent at the local theater where her mother worked, Zendaya began her career performing in Oakland, California before making her foray into television starring in the hit Disney Channel series Shake it Up and K.C. Undercover. Her role as Rue on the critically acclaimed television series Euphoria earned her 2 Emmy Awards for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series, making her the youngest women ever to win an Emmy in this category.

Zendaya has made a name for herself on the big screen as well, starting with her feature film debut in Spider-Man: Homecoming where she joined the Spider-Man Universe. From there, she went on to deliver outstanding performances in films such as The Greatest Showman, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Dune. Her other notable projects include Malcolm & Marie, which she helped create and produce during the pandemic, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and the animated film Smallfoot.

WASHINGTON D.C. and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (March 20, 2023) – The cast of Lionsgate’s Joy Ride will receive this year’s CinemaCon® Comedy Ensemble of the Year Award, Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director of CinemaCon, announced today.

Following a raucous and critically acclaimed debut at this year’s SXSW, Lionsgate will bring Adele Lim’s directorial debut Joy Ride to the CinemaCon audience on the afternoon of Thursday, April 27. From the producers of Neighbors and the co-screenwriter of Crazy Rich Asians, Joy Ride stars Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Oscar® nominee Stephanie Hsu, and Sabrina Wu as four friends who embark on a once-in-a-lifetime wild and debaucherous international adventure. Directed by Adele Lim, the film is set for release only in theaters on July 7, 2023.

The film is produced by Point Grey’s Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, and Josh Fagen, alongside Cherry Chevapravatdumrong, Teresa Hsiao, and Adele Lim.

"The cast of Joy Ride delivers a fearless and over-the-top hilarious performance, one that will delight audiences with their hysterical, no-holds-barred journey through friendship and self-discovery. This brilliant group of actors captures the very essence of the messy human experience," noted Neuhauser. "We are excited to recognize their outstanding work with this year's CinemaCon® Comedy Ensemble of the Year Award and can't wait for audiences to experience their unforgettable adventure."

Tony, Grammy, and Critics Choice Award nominee Ashley Park can most recently be seen in Netflix’s hit series Emily in Paris, with the third season released in December 2022 and a fourth on the way. The actress can next be seen in Netflix’s upcoming series Beef, as well as Hulu’s critically acclaimed Only Murders in the Building. Park graced the big screen in last summer’s Mr. Malcolm’s List and can be seen in the Peacock comedy series Girls 5eva, Tales of the City (Netflix), and Nightcap (Pop/Lionsgate Television). Park is currently in production on Paramount Pictures’ upcoming Mean Girls movie, based on Tina Fey’s musical adaptation of the 2004 hit film. On Broadway, Park originated and starred as Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls in 2018, earning Tony Award, Drama League, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Chita Rivera Award nominations. In the same season, she starred in the award-winning KPOP, and won the esteemed Lucille Lortel Award for Lead Actress in a Musical; she also earned her second Drama League and Drama Desk nominations. Additional Broadway credits include Mamma Mia!, The King and I, Sunday in the Park with George, and Grand Horizons.

Actress, comedian, and writer Sherry Cola began her career with radio, stand-up, and improv. After a breakout role on Amazon’s I Love Dick, Cola quickly solidified her place in the industry, starring in various critically acclaimed series, such as Claws and Good Trouble. In film, Cola stars in Randall Park’s directorial debut Shortcomings, which made a splash at Sundance 2023 and was recently acquired by Sony Pictures Classics.
