AMC Theatres plans to increase the number of commercials and ads shown before its movies begin. The change was announced by AMC CEO Adam Aron during a recent earnings call.

Here are the key points:

  • The Goal is More Revenue: The primary reason for this change is to increase the company's revenue.
  • Comparison to Europe: Aron justified the decision by pointing out that European cinemas often run 30-40 minutes of ads, suggesting that AMC—with its current 15-20 minute pre-show—has room for growth.
  • A "Thoughtful" Increase: The increase will not be drastic. Aron stated they will be "thoughtful" and add just "a few more minutes" of commercials to the existing pre-show.
  • Placement of Ads: These new commercials will be added to the pre-show block (like the "Noovie" segment) and will run before the movie trailers start.
