AMC’s Bold Moves and New Advertising Initiatives
AMC Theatres continues to innovate with eye-catching popcorn buckets and other promotional items, but that’s not all. The chain has recently announced plans to expand its pre-show advertising lineup through a partnership with National CineMedia (NCM). Starting July 1, AMC will feature a new “platinum spot” commercial segment alongside traditional movie trailers, sharing revenue from this initiative with NCM.
Impacts on the Moviegoing Experience
While some moviegoers might initially be skeptical about increased advertising, AMC has stated that similar efforts by competitors over the past five years haven’t affected attendance. The company believes this new advertising format will generate additional revenue without discouraging audiences, ultimately supporting the theater industry’s future.
