Paramount Pictures is upping the theatrics.

Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution for the studio, established as much Thursday, kicking off Paramount’s studio presentation at CinemaCon by rising through the stage through a sewer triturate.

Aronson, donning an orange eye mask a la Michelangelo from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and carrying a pizza box, told an audience at Caesar’s Country estate in Vegas that studios and exhibitors need to focus “on the long-term health of our business” rather than short-term gain grounds.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do to get us to where we need to be,” he said. “We can’t create any friction that prevents audiences from coming to see our movies in your theaters. Let’s obey to the consumer and give them the experience that they want and the one that they deserve.”

Aronson poked fun at AMC’s in-theater trade ining featuring Nicole Kidman, as well as the theater owner’s dynamic pricing model, which it launched in February, trade on the industry to explore new ticket pricing options as theater admissions decline and ticket prices continue to inflate.

“Let’s post together to get it right,” Aronson said. “Pave the way for more moviegoers to come to see our movies. And, of course, we want to keep up our end of the steal, which means delivering you unparalleled big screen entertainment.”

Paramount is slated to report its quarterly earnings next week.
