Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company	THE COMPANY Description of Business National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.”) was incorporated in Delaware as a holding company with the sole purpose of becoming a member and sole manager of National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM LLC”), a limited liability company. NCM LLC is currently owned by NCM, Inc., Regal Cinemas, Inc. and Regal CineMedia Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of Cineworld Group plc and Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), Cinemark Media, Inc. and Cinemark USA, Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (“Cinemark”) and American Multi-Cinema, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMC”). The terms “NCM”, “the Company” or “we” shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include the consolidated entity. AMC, Regal, Cinemark and their affiliates are referred to in this document as “founding members”. The Company operates the largest cinema advertising network reaching movie audiences in the U.S., allowing NCM LLC to sell advertising under long-term exhibitor services agreements (“ESAs”) with the founding members and certain third-party theater circuits, referred to in this document as “network affiliates” under long-term network affiliate agreements. As of March 26, 2020, almost all of the theaters within the Company's network have been temporarily closed to address the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company is unable to advertise in the theaters, and thus will not generate any in theater revenue, for the duration of time that the theaters are closed. On September 17, 2019, NCM LLC entered into amendments to the ESAs with Cinemark and Regal (collectively, the “2019 ESA Amendments”). The 2019 ESA Amendments extended the contract life of the ESAs with Cinemark and Regal by four years resulting in a weighted average remaining term of the ESAs with the founding members (based on attendance) of approximately 19.5 years as of March 26, 2020 . The network affiliate agreements expire at various dates between September 2020 and July 2031. The weighted average remaining term (based on attendance) of the ESAs and the network affiliate agreements together is 17.1 years as of March 26, 2020 . As of March 26, 2020 , NCM LLC had 162,504,976 common membership units outstanding, of which 77,973,648 ( 48.0% ) were owned by NCM, Inc., 42,290,694 ( 26.0% ) were owned by Regal, 40,850,068 ( 25.1% ) were owned by Cinemark and 1,390,566 ( 0.9% ) were owned by AMC. The membership units held by the founding members are exchangeable into NCM, Inc. common stock on a one -for-one basis. Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes of NCM, Inc. in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in an annual report have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly report. The balance sheet as of December 26, 2019 is derived from the audited financial statements of NCM, Inc. Therefore, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2019 . In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The Company’s business is seasonal and for this and other reasons operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the Company’s full year results or future performance. As a result of the various related party agreements discussed in Note 5— Related Party Transactions , the operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred if all agreements were with non-related third parties. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment of advertising. Estimates —The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, share-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s annual financial statements included in its Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2019 contain a complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Following is additional information related to the Company’s accounting policies. Revenue Recognition —The Company derives revenue principally from the advertising business, which includes on-screen and lobby network (LEN) advertising and lobby promotions and advertising on websites and mobile applications owned by NCM LLC and other companies. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits provided by NCM LLC’s advertising services and the Company has the right to payment for performance to date. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers —The risk of credit loss related to the Company's trade receivables and unbilled receivables balances is accounted for through the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account which reduces the net receivables balance. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is determined by pooling the Company's receivables with similar risk characteristics, specifically by type of customer (national or local/ regional) and then age of receivable, and applying historical write off percentages to these pools in order to determine the amount of expected credit losses as of the balance sheet date. National receivables are with large advertising agencies with strong reputations in the advertising industry and clients with stable financial positions and good credit ratings, represent larger receivables balances per customer and have significantly lower historical and expected credit loss patterns. Local and regional receivables are with much smaller companies with limited credit information available, smaller receivable balances per customer and higher historical and expected credit loss patterns. The Company has smaller contracts with thousands of local clients that are not individually significant. The Company also considers current economic conditions and trends to determine whether adjustments to historical loss rates are necessary. As of March 26, 2020 , the Company increased the allowance related to local and regional customers, recording an incremental $0.7 million in bad debt expense during the three months ended March 26, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2019, given the adverse impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on certain businesses, in particular, categories of small businesses (i.e. restaurants, travel, etc.) which the Company expects could lead to an increased rate of default. The Company also reserves for specific receivable balances that it expects to write off based on known concerns regarding the financial health of the customer. Receivables are written off when management determines amounts are uncollectible. As of March 26, 2020 and December 26, 2019 , there were no advertising agency groups or individual customers through which the Company sources advertising revenue representing more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding gross receivable balance. During the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , the Company had no customers that accounted for more than 10% of revenue. Share-Based Compensation —The Company has issued stock options and restricted stock to certain employees and restricted stock units to its independent directors. The restricted stock grants for Company management vest upon the achievement of Company performance measures and/or service conditions, while non-management grants vest only upon the achievement of service conditions. Compensation expense of restricted stock that vests upon the achievement of Company performance measures is based on management’s financial projections and the probability of achieving the projections, which require considerable judgment. A cumulative adjustment is recorded to share-based compensation expense in periods that management changes its estimate of the number of shares of restricted stock expected to vest. Ultimately, the Company adjusts the expense recognized to reflect the actual vested shares following the resolution of the performance conditions. Dividends are accrued when declared on unvested restricted stock that is expected to vest and are only paid with respect to shares that actually vest. During the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , 524,303 and 511,996 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested, respectively. Consolidation —NCM, Inc. consolidates the accounts of NCM LLC under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). The following table presents the changes in NCM, Inc.’s equity resulting from net income attributable to NCM, Inc. and transfers to or from noncontrolling interests (in millions): Three Months Ended March 26, March 28, Net income attributable to NCM, Inc. $ (3.7 ) $ (1.1 ) NCM LLC equity issued for purchase of intangible asset 5.0 3.7 Income tax and other impacts of subsidiary ownership changes (4.0 ) (1.4 ) Change from net income attributable to NCM, Inc. and transfers from noncontrolling interests $ (2.7 ) $ 1.2 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on December 27, 2019, the Company recorded a $3.2 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings related to the change in methodology surrounding the historical losses utilized in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses related to trade and unbilled accounts receivable reducing the allowance to $3.0 million as of the adoption date. The Company also recorded a corresponding $0.4 million reduction to the corresponding deferred tax asset with the offset also recorded to retained earnings. The other impacts upon adoption were immaterial to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has incorporated additional disclosures in Note 1— The Company, Note 2— Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Accounts Receivable and Note 9— Fair Value Measurements to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to comply with ASU 2016-13. The Company has also designed and implemented changes to certain processes and internal controls related to its adoption of ASU 2016-13. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes the following exceptions for the Company to analyze in a given period: the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; the exception to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and the exception in interim periods income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto. In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. This guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the LIBOR transition and this ASU on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto.

Revenue from Contracts with Cus

Revenue from Contracts with Customers	3 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue principally from the sale of advertising to national, regional and local businesses in Noovie , the Company’s cinema advertising and entertainment pre-show. The Company also sells advertising through the LEN, a series of strategically placed screens located in movie theater lobbies, as well as other forms of advertising and promotions in theater lobbies. In addition, the Company sells online and mobile advertising through Cinema Accelerator and NCM's digital gaming products including Noovie ARcade, Fantasy Movie League, Name That Movie and Noovie Shuffle, which can be played on the mobile apps or at Noovie.com . The Company also has a long-term agreement to exhibit the advertising of the founding members’ beverage suppliers. The Company makes contractual guarantees to deliver a specified number of impressions to view the customers’ advertising. If the contracted number of impressions are not delivered, the Company will run additional advertising to deliver the contracted impressions at a later date. The deferred portion of the revenue associated with undelivered impressions is referred to as a make-good provision. The Company defers the revenue associated with the make-good until the advertising airs to the theater attendance specified in the advertising contract. The make-good provision is recorded within accrued expenses in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of March 26, 2020 and December 26, 2019 , the Company had a make-good provision of $8.6 million and $8.7 million , respectively. The Company does not have any contracts with customers with terms in excess of one year that are noncancelable as of March 26, 2020 . Agreements with a duration less than one year are not included within this disclosure as the Company elected to use the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 for those contracts. In addition, other of the Company’s contracts longer than one year that are cancelable are not included within this disclosure.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss Per Share	PER SHARE Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. The components of basic and diluted loss per NCM, Inc. share are as follows: Three Months Ended March 26, March 28, Net loss attributable to NCM, Inc.

NCM LLC common units do not participate in dividends paid on NCM, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, there were 3,821,388 and 3,718,641 stock options and non-vested (restricted) shares for the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , respectively, excluded from the calculation as they were anti-dilutive. The Company’s non-vested (restricted) shares do not meet the definition of a participating security as the dividends will not be paid if the shares do not vest.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Intangible Assets	INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets consist of contractual rights to provide the Company’s services within the theaters of the founding members and network affiliates and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The Company’s intangible assets with its founding members are recorded at fair market value of NCM, Inc.’s publicly traded stock as of the date on which the common membership units were issued. The NCM LLC common membership units are fully convertible into NCM, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, the Company records intangible assets for up-front fees paid to network affiliates upon commencement of a network affiliate agreement. The Company’s intangible assets have a finite useful life and the Company amortizes the assets over the remaining useful life corresponding with the ESAs or the term of the network affiliate agreement. The Company determined that recent adverse changes in macroeconomic trends, reduced cash flows as a consequence of the temporary closure of the theaters within the Company's network in response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, a decline in the fair value of NCM LLC’s debt and the further sustained decline in the market price of our common stock as of March 26, 2020 constituted a triggering event under Accounting Standards Certification No. 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. However, the estimated future cash flows from the affiliate agreements and ESAs were in excess of the net book value of these intangible assets and thus, no impairment charges were recorded for the three months ended March 26, 2020. Such analysis required management to make estimates and assumptions based on historical data and consideration of future market conditions. Given the uncertainty inherent in any projection, heightened by the possibility of unforeseen additional effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used, or conditions may change, which could result in impairment charges in the future. Common Unit Adjustments —In accordance with NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement with its founding members, on an annual basis NCM LLC determines the amount of common membership units to be issued to or returned by the founding members based on theater additions or dispositions during the previous year. In addition, NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement requires that a Common Unit Adjustment occur for a specific founding member if its acquisition or disposition of theaters, in a single transaction or cumulatively since the most recent Common Unit Adjustment, results in an attendance increase or decrease in excess of two percent of the annual total attendance at the prior adjustment date. During the first quarter of 2020 , NCM LLC issued 3,022,959 common membership units to its founding members for the rights to exclusive access to the theater screens and attendees added, net of dispositions by the founding members to NCM LLC’s network during the 2019 fiscal year and NCM LLC recorded a net intangible asset of $10.5 million during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the Common Unit Adjustment. During the first quarter of 2019 , NCM LLC issued 1,044,665 common membership units to its founding members for the rights to exclusive access to the theater screens and attendees added, net of dispositions by the founding members to NCM LLC’s network during the 2018 fiscal year and NCM LLC recorded a net intangible asset of $7.6 million during the first quarter of 2019 as a result of the Common Unit Adjustment. Integration Payments and Other Encumbered Theater Payments —If an existing on-screen advertising agreement with an alternative provider is in place with respect to any acquired theaters (“encumbered theaters”), the founding members may elect to receive common membership units related to those encumbered theaters in connection with the Common Unit Adjustment. If the founding members make this election, then they are required to make payments on a quarterly basis in arrears in accordance with certain run-out provisions pursuant to the ESAs (“integration payments”). Because the Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (“Carmike”) theaters acquired by AMC are subject to an existing on-screen advertising agreement with an alternative provider, AMC will make integration payments to NCM LLC. The integration payments will continue until the earlier of (i) the date the theaters are transferred to NCM LLC’s network or (ii) the expiration of the ESA. In 2019, AMC and Cinemark also made integration payments to NCM LLC related to their respective acquisitions of theaters from Rave Cinemas. The advertising agreements with an alternative provider for these theaters ended during 2019 and the theaters were transferred to our network. Integration payments are no longer due related to these theaters. Integration payments are calculated based upon the advertising cash flow that the Company would have generated if it had exclusive access to sell advertising in the theaters with pre-existing advertising agreements. The ESAs additionally entitle NCM LLC to payments related to the founding members’ on-screen advertising commitments under their beverage concessionaire agreements for encumbered theaters. These payments are also accounted for as a reduction to the intangible asset. During the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , the Company recorded a reduction to net intangible assets of $1.4 million and $2.5 million , respectively, related to integration and other encumbered theater payments. During the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , AMC and Cinemark paid a total of $8.5 million and $8.1 million , respectively, in integration and other encumbered theater payments (as payments are made one quarter and one month in arrears, respectively). The payments received during the three months ended March 26, 2020 relate to AMC's acquisition of theaters from Carmike. The payments received during the three months ended March 28, 2019 relate to AMC's acquisitions of theaters from Carmike and Rave Cinemas and from Cinemark related primarily to its acquisition of theaters from Rave Cinemas. If common membership units are issued to a founding member for newly acquired theaters that are subject to an existing on-screen advertising agreement with an alternative provider, the amortization of the intangible asset commences after the existing agreement expires and NCM LLC can utilize the theaters for all of its services.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Founding Member Transactions —In connection with NCM, Inc.’s IPO, the Company entered into several agreements to define and regulate the relationships among NCM, Inc., NCM LLC and the founding members which are outlined below. As AMC owns less than 5% of NCM LLC as of March 26, 2020 , AMC is no longer a related party. AMC remains a party to the ESA, Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) and certain other original agreements and is a member under the terms of the NCM LLC Operating Agreement, subject to fulfilling the requirements of Section 3.1 of the NCM LLC Operating Agreement. AMC will continue to participate in the annual Common Unit Adjustment and receive available cash distributions or allocation of earnings and losses in NCM LLC (as long as its ownership is greater than zero), TRA payments and theater access fees. Further, AMC will continue to pay beverage revenue, among other things. AMC's ownership percentage does not impact future integration payments and other encumbered theater payments owed to NCM LLC by AMC. The material agreements with the founding members are as follows: • ESAs. Under the ESAs, NCM LLC is the exclusive provider within the United States of advertising services in the founding members’ theaters (subject to pre-existing contractual obligations and other limited exceptions for the benefit of the founding members). The advertising services include the use of the digital content network (“DCN”) equipment required to deliver the on-screen advertising and other content included in the Noovie pre-show, use of the LEN and rights to sell and display certain lobby promotions. Further, 30 to 60 seconds of advertising included in the Noovie pre-show is sold to NCM LLC’s founding members to satisfy the founding members’ on-screen advertising commitments under their beverage concessionaire agreements. In consideration for access to the founding members’ theaters, theater patrons, the network equipment required to display on-screen and LEN video advertising and the use of theaters for lobby promotions, the founding members receive a monthly theater access fee. In conjunction with the 2019 ESA Amendments, NCM LLC agreed to pay Cinemark and Regal incremental monthly theater access fees and, subject to NCM LLC's use of specified inventory, a revenue share in consideration for NCM LLC's access to certain on-screen advertising inventory after the advertised showtime of a feature film beginning November 1, 2019 and the underlying term of the ESAs were extended until 2041. The ESAs and 2019 ESA Amendments with Cinemark and Regal are considered leases with related parties under ASC 842. • Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. The Common Unit Adjustment Agreement provides a mechanism for increasing or decreasing the membership units held by the founding members based on the acquisition or construction of new theaters or sale or closure of theaters that are operated by each founding member and included in NCM LLC’s network. • Tax Receivable Agreement. The TRA provides for the effective payment by NCM, Inc. to the founding members of 90% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that is actually realized as a result of certain increases in NCM, Inc.’s proportionate share of tax basis in NCM LLC’s tangible and intangible assets resulting from the IPO and related transactions. • Software License Agreement. At the date of the Company’s IPO, NCM LLC was granted a perpetual, royalty-free license from NCM LLC’s founding members to use certain proprietary software that existed at the time for the delivery of digital advertising and other content through the DCN to screens in the U.S. NCM LLC has made improvements to this software since the IPO date and NCM LLC owns those improvements, except for improvements that were developed jointly by NCM LLC and NCM LLC’s founding members, if any.

As of Included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: March 26, December 26, Common unit adjustments, net of amortization and integration payments (included in intangible assets) (1) $ 624.3 $ 620.5 Current payable to founding members under tax receivable agreement (2) $ 10.1 $ 10.3 Long-term payable to founding members under tax receivable agreement (2) $ 134.6 $ 133.5 _________________________________ (1) Refer to Note 4— Intangible Assets for further information on common unit adjustments and integration payments. This balance includes common unit adjustments issued to all of the founding members (including AMC) as the Company's intangible balance is considered one asset inclusive of all common unit adjustment activity. (2) The Company paid Cinemark and Regal $ 3.7 million and $ 6.7 million, respectively, in payments pursuant to the TRA during 2019 which was for the 2018 tax year. On March 21, 2020, a Treasury Department Notice postponed the due date for the Company's U.S. federal income tax return to July 15, 2020 from April 15, 2020. As such, the date the 2019 TRA payment will begin accruing interest was also delayed until July 15, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the NCM LLC Operating Agreement in place since the completion of the Company’s IPO, NCM LLC is required to make mandatory distributions on a proportionate basis to its members of available cash, as defined in the NCM LLC Operating Agreement, on a quarterly basis in arrears. Mandatory distributions of available cash for the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 were as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended March 26, March 28, Cinemark $ 2.1 $ 3.0 Regal 2.2 3.1 Total distributions to related parties 4.3 6.1 NCM, Inc. 4.1 5.8 Total $ 8.4 $ 11.9 The mandatory distributions of available cash by NCM LLC to Cinemark and Regal for the three months ended March 26, 2020 of $4.3 million are included in amounts due to founding members, net on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 26, 2020 and will be made in the second quarter of 2020.

AC JV, LLC Transactions —In December 2013, NCM LLC sold its Fathom Events business to a newly formed limited liability company, AC JV, LLC, owned 32% by each of the founding members and 4% by NCM LLC. The Company accounts for its investment in AC JV, LLC under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323-30, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323-30”) because AC JV, LLC is a limited liability company with the characteristics of a limited partnership and ASC 323-30 requires the use of equity method accounting unless the Company’s interest is so minor that it would have virtually no influence over partnership operating and financial policies. Although NCM LLC does not have a representative on AC JV, LLC’s Board of Directors or any voting, consent or blocking rights with respect to the governance or operations of AC JV, LLC, the Company concluded that its interest was more than minor under the accounting guidance. The Company’s investment in AC JV, LLC was $1.0 million and $0.9 million as of March 26, 2020 and December 26, 2019 , respectively. Equity in earnings from AC JV, LLC of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , respectively, is included in “Other non-operating income” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Senior Secured Credit Facility —On June 20, 2018, NCM LLC entered into a credit agreement to replace NCM LLC's senior secured credit facility, dated as of February 13, 2007, as amended (the “previous facility”). Consistent with the structure of the previous facility, the agreement consists of a term loan facility and a revolving credit facility. As of March 26, 2020 , NCM LLC’s senior secured credit facility consisted of a $175.0 million revolving credit facility and a $266.0 million term loan. The obligations under the senior secured credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of NCM LLC. Revolving Credit Facility —The revolving credit facility portion of NCM LLC’s total borrowings is available, subject to certain conditions, for general corporate purposes of NCM LLC in the ordinary course of business and for other transactions permitted under the senior secured credit facility, and a portion is available for letters of credit. During March 2020, NCM LLC drew down an additional $110.0 million on the revolving credit facility to fund operations during the period of expected disrupted cash flows due to the temporary closure of the theaters within NCM LLC's network to address the COVID-19 Pandemic. As of March 26, 2020 , NCM LLC’s total availability under the $175.0 million revolving credit facility was $4.4 million, net of $167.0 million outstanding and $3.6 million in letters of credit. The unused line fee is 0.50% per annum which is consistent with the previous facility. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at NCM LLC’s option of either the LIBOR index plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% or the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% . The applicable margin for the revolving credit facility is determined quarterly and is subject to adjustment based upon a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio for NCM LLC (the ratio of secured funded debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of up to $100.0 million , divided by Adjusted EBITDA for debt purposes, defined as NCM LLC's net income before depreciation and amortization expense adjusted to also exclude non-cash share based compensation costs for NCM LLC plus integration payments received). The revolving credit facility will mature on June 20, 2023. The weighted-average interest rate on the revolving credit facility as of March 26, 2020 was 2.80% . Term Loans —The interest rate on the term loans is a rate chosen at NCM LLC’s option of either the LIBOR index plus 3.00% or the base rate plus 2.00% . The interest rate on the term loans as of March 26, 2020 was 4.63% . The term loans amortize at a rate equal to 1.00% annually, to be paid in equal quarterly installments. As of March 26, 2020 , NCM LLC has paid principal of $ 4.0 million, reducing the outstanding balance to $266.0 million. The term loans will mature on June 20, 2025. The senior secured credit facility contains a number of covenants and various financial ratio requirements, including, (i) a consolidated net total leverage ratio covenant of 6.25 times for each quarterly period and (ii) with respect to the revolving credit facility, maintaining a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio of equal to or less than 4.50 times on a quarterly basis for each quarterly period in which a balance is outstanding on the revolving credit facility. In addition, NCM LLC is permitted to make quarterly dividend payments and other restricted payments with its available cash as long as NCM LLC’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio (after giving effect to any such payment) is below 5.50 times and no default or event of default has occurred and continues to occur under the senior secured credit facility. As of March 26, 2020 , NCM LLC’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio was 3.28 times (versus the dividend payment restriction of 5.50 times and the covenant of 4.50 times) and NCM LLC's consolidated net total leverage ratio was 4.31 times (versus the covenant of 6.25 times). Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 —On August 19, 2016, NCM LLC completed a private placement of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Notes due 2026”) for which the registered exchange offering was completed on November 8, 2016. The Notes due 2026 pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, which commenced on February 15, 2017 . The Notes due 2026 were issued at 100% of the face amount thereof and are the senior unsecured obligations of NCM LLC. NCM LLC repurchased and canceled a total of $5.0 million and $15.0 million of the Notes due 2026 during 2019 and 2018, respectively, reducing the principal amount to $230.0 million as of March 26, 2020 . These repurchases were treated as partial debt extinguishments and resulted in the realization of a non-operating gain, net of written off debt issuance costs, of $0.0 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , respectively. Senior Secured Notes due 2028 —On October 8, 2019, NCM LLC completed a private offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Notes due 2028”) to eligible purchasers. The Notes due 2028 will mature on April 15, 2028. Interest on the Notes due 2028 accrues at a rate of 5.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2020. The Notes due 2028 were issued at 100% of the face amount thereof and share in the same collateral that secures NCM LLC's obligations under the senior secured credit facility.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 26, 2020
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company’s provision for income taxes during the interim reporting periods has historically been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. Although the Company believes the use of the annual effective tax rate method to be appropriate for prior interim reporting periods, the Company utilized a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 26, 2020, as allowed by ASC 740-270, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting . The Company determined that as small changes in estimated “ordinary” income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the discrete effective tax rate would provide a more reliable estimate for the three months ended March 26, 2020. Changes in the Company’s Effective Tax Rate —The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from 34.4% for the three months ended March 28, 2019 to 8.8% for the three months ended March 26, 2020 , resulting in an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 26, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 28, 2019 . The decrease in income tax benefit was primarily due to the impact of incremental unfavorable permanent tax adjustments recognized in the three months ended March 26, 2020 , compared to the three months ended March 28, 2019 , and state tax rate changes recognized in the three months ended March 28, 2019 that did not impact the tax provision recorded for the three months ended March 26, 2020. The Company's current blended state and federal rate (net of federal benefit) was 24.4% as of both March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Actions —The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes such claims will not have a material effect individually or in the aggregate on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Operating Commitments - Facilities —The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its corporate headquarters and other regional offices. The Company has right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $21.8 million and short-term and long-term lease liabilities of $1.7 million and $24.1 million , respectively, on the balance sheet as of March 26, 2020 for all material leases with terms longer than twelve months. These balances are included within “Other assets”, “Other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities”, respectively, on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 26, 2020 , the Company had a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.9 years on these leases. When measuring the ROU assets and lease liabilities recorded, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate in order to determine the present value of the lease payments as the leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company used the rate of interest that it would have paid to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As of March 26, 2020 , the Company’s weighted average annual discount rate used to establish the ROU assets and lease liabilities was 7.35% . During the three months ended March 26, 2020 , the Company recognized the following components of total lease cost (in millions). These costs are presented within “Selling and marketing costs” and “Administrative and other costs” within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income depending upon the nature of the use of the facility. Three Months Ended March 26, March 28, Operating lease cost $ 0.9 $ 0.8 Short-term lease cost — 0.1 Variable lease cost 0.1 0.1 Total lease cost $ 1.0 $ 1.0 The Company made total lease payments of $0.9 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , respectively.

Operating Commitments - ESAs and Affiliate Agreements —The Company has entered into long-term ESAs with the founding members and multi-year agreements with certain network affiliates, or third-party theater circuits. The ESAs and network affiliate agreements grant NCM LLC exclusive rights in their theaters to sell advertising, subject to limited exceptions. The Company recognizes intangible assets upon issuance of membership units to the founding members in accordance with NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement and upfront cash payments to the affiliates for the contractual rights to provide the Company’s services within their theaters as further discussed within Note 4 - Intangible Assets . These ESAs and network affiliate agreements are considered leases under ASC 842 once the asset is identified and the period of control is determined upon the scheduling of the showtimes by the exhibitors, typically one week prior to the showtime. As such, the leases are considered short-term in nature, specifically less than one month. Within ASC 842, leases with terms of less than one month are exempt from the majority of the accounting and disclosure requirements, including disclosure of short-term lease expense. No ROU assets or lease liabilities were recognized for these agreements and no change to the balance sheet presentation of the intangible assets was necessary. However, the amortization of these intangible assets is considered lease expense and is presented within “Amortization of intangibles recorded for network theater screen leases” within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. In consideration for NCM LLC’s access to the founding members’ theater attendees for on-screen advertising and use of lobbies and other space within the founding members’ theaters for the LEN and lobby promotions, the founding members receive a monthly theater access fee under the ESAs. The theater access fee is composed of a fixed payment per patron, a fixed payment per digital screen (connected to the DCN) and a fee for access to higher quality digital cinema equipment. The payment per theater patron increases by 8% every five years , with this next increase occurring in fiscal year 2022, and the payment per digital screen and for digital cinema equipment increases annually by 5% . The theater access fee paid in the aggregate to all founding members cannot be less than 12% of NCM LLC’s aggregate advertising revenue (as defined in the ESA), or it will be adjusted upward to reach this minimum payment. As of March 26, 2020 and December 26, 2019 , the Company had no liabilities recorded for the minimum payment, as the theater access fee was in excess of the minimum. Following the 2019 ESA Amendments, Cinemark and Regal receive an additional monthly theater access fee that began on November 1, 2019 in consideration for NCM LLC's access to certain on-screen advertising inventory after the advertised showtime of a feature film. These fees are also based upon a fixed payment per patron beginning at $0.025 per patron on November 1, 2019, (ii) $0.0375 per patron beginning on November 1, 2020, (iii) $0.05 per patron beginning on November 1, 2021, (iv) $0.052 per patron beginning on November 1, 2022 and (v) increase 8% every five years beginning November 1, 2027. Additionally, following the 2019 ESA Amendments, beginning on November 1, 2019, NCM LLC is entitled to display the Platinum Spot, an additional single unit that is either 30 or 60 seconds of the Noovie pre-show in the trailer position directly prior to the “attached” trailers preceding the feature film. The “attached” trailers are those provided by studios to Cinemark and Regal that are with the feature film, which is at least one trailer, but sometimes two trailers. In consideration for the utilization of the theaters for the Platinum Spots, Cinemark and Regal are entitled to receive 25% of all revenue generated for the actual display of Platinum Spots in their applicable theaters, subject to a specified minimum. If NCM LLC runs advertising in more than one concurrent advertisers’ Platinum Spot for any portion of the network over a period of time, then NCM LLC will be required to satisfy a minimum average CPM for that period of time. The Company does not owe the founding members any theater access fees or any Platinum Spot revenue share when the theaters are not displaying the Company's pre-show or when the Company does not have access to the theaters. As such, the Company will not owe these fees during the duration a founding member's theaters are closed in connection with the COVID-19 Pandemic. The digital screen fee is calculated based upon average screens in use during each month. No digital screen fees will be incurred for months where no screens are in use and fees will be reduced for months where screens are in use for only part of the month. The network affiliates compensation is considered variable lease expense and varies by circuit depending upon the agreed upon terms of the network affiliate agreement. The majority of agreements are centered around a revenue share where an agreed upon percentage of the advertising revenue received from a theater’s attendance is paid to the circuit. As part of the network affiliate agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business under which the Company sells advertising for display in various network affiliate theater chains, the Company has agreed to certain minimum revenue guarantees on a per attendee basis. If a network affiliate achieves the attendance set forth in their respective agreement, the Company has guaranteed minimum revenue for the network affiliate per attendee if such amount paid under the revenue share arrangement is less than its guaranteed amount. As of March 26, 2020 , the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make pursuant to the minimum revenue guarantees is $77.7 million over the remaining terms of the network affiliate agreements. These minimum guarantees relate to various affiliate agreements ranging in term from one to twenty years , prior to any renewal periods of which some are at the option of the Company. The Company accrued $0.5 million and $0.5 million related to affiliate agreements with guaranteed minimums in excess of the revenue share agreement as of March 26, 2020 and December 26, 2019 , respectively. As the guaranteed minimums are based upon agreed upon minimum attendance or affiliate revenue levels, the Company will not incur minimum revenue share fees during the duration an affiliate's theaters are closed or during a period where theater attendance or affiliate revenue levels are low as the minimum levels must first be met by the affiliate.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 —Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 —Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 —Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Non-Recurring Measurements —Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. These assets include long-lived assets, intangible assets, other investments, notes receivable and borrowings. Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Other Investments —The Company regularly reviews long-lived assets (primarily property, plant and equipment), intangible assets and investments accounted for under the cost or equity method for impairment whenever certain qualitative factors, events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When the estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment charge is recorded to write the asset down to its estimated fair value. Other investments consisted of the following (in millions): As of March 26, December 26, Investment in AC JV, LLC (1) $ 1.0 $ 0.9 Other investments 0.1 0.1 Total $ 1.1 $ 1.0 _______________________________________ (1) Refer to Note 5— Related Party Transactions . This investment is accounted for utilizing the equity method. As of March 26, 2020 , no observable price changes or impairments have been recorded as a result of the Company’s qualitative assessment of identified events or changes in the circumstances of the remaining investments. The investment in AC JV, LLC was initially valued using comparative market multiples. The other investments were recorded based upon the fair value of the services provided in exchange for the investment. As the inputs to the determination of fair value are based upon non-identical assets and use significant unobservable inputs, they have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Borrowings —The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to its floating-rate terms. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments where carrying values do not approximate fair value were as follows (in millions): As of March 26, As of December 26, Carrying Value Fair Value (1) Carrying Value Fair Value (1) Term loans $ 266.0 $ 192.9 $ 266.6 $ 266.9 Notes due 2026 230.0 157.6 230.0 226.2 Notes due 2028 400.0 268.9 400.0 426.7 ____________________________________________ (1) If the Company were to measure the borrowings in the above table at fair value on the balance sheet they would be classified as Level 2 based upon the inputs utilized. Recurring Measurements —The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis pursuant to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures are as follows (in millions): Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Fair Value as of March 26, Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Significant Unobservable Inputs ASSETS: Cash equivalents (1) $ 31.9 $ 19.9 $ 12.0 $ — Short-term marketable securities (2) 16.8 — 16.8 — Long-term marketable securities (2) 5.3 — 5.3 — Total assets $ 54.0 $ 19.9 $ 34.1 $ — Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Fair Value as of December 26, Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Significant Unobservable Inputs ASSETS: Cash equivalents (1) $ 28.8 $ 16.8 $ 12.0 $ — Short-term marketable securities (2) 17.5 — 17.5 — Long-term marketable securities (2) 7.5 — 7.5 — Total assets $ 53.8 $ 16.8 $ 37.0 $ — ___________________________________________ (1) Cash Equivalents —The Company’s cash equivalents are carried at estimated fair value following the Company's election of the fair value option. Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts which the Company has classified as Level 1 given the active market for these accounts and commercial paper with original maturities of three months or less, which are classified as Level 2 and are valued as described below. (2) Short-Term and Long-Term Marketable Securities —The carrying amount and fair value of the marketable securities are equivalent since the Company accounts for these instruments at fair value. The Company’s government agency bonds, commercial paper and certificates of deposit are valued using third party broker quotes. The value of the Company’s government agency bonds is derived from quoted market information. The inputs in the valuation are classified as Level 1 if there is an active market for these securities; however, if an active market does not exist, the inputs are recorded at a lower level in the fair value hierarchy. The value of commercial paper and certificates of deposit is derived from pricing models using inputs based upon market information, including contractual terms, market prices and yield curves. The inputs to the valuation pricing models are observable in the market, and as such are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 26, 2020 , there was $21.1 million of Available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions without an allowance for credit losses. The Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses for the marketable securities balance as of March 26, 2020 given the immaterial difference between the amortized cost basis and the aggregate fair value of the Company's securities. For the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , there was an inconsequential amount of net realized gains (losses) recognized in interest income and an inconsequential amount of net unrealized holding gains (losses) included in interest income. Original cost of short-term marketable securities is based on the specific identification method. As of March 26, 2020 and December 26, 2019 , there was $0.0 million and an inconsequential amount, respectively, of gross unrealized losses related to individual securities of $0.0 million and $6.5 million , respectively, that had been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or longer. The Company has not recorded an impairment because it has the intention and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The amortized cost basis, aggregate fair value and maturities of the marketable securities the Company held as of March 26, 2020 and December 26, 2019 were as follows: As of March 26, 2020 Amortized Cost Aggregate Fair Maturities (1) MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Short-term U.S. government agency bonds $ 0.5 $ 0.5 0.5 Short-term commercial paper: Industrial 8.0 8.0 0.1 Financial 6.0 6.0 0.1 Short-term municipal bonds 1.2 1.2 0.3 Short-term certificates of deposit 1.1 1.1 0.6 Total short-term marketable securities 16.8 16.8 Long-term U.S. government agency bonds 2.7 2.8 3.7 Long-term certificates of deposit 2.5 2.5 3.5 Total long-term marketable securities 5.2 5.3 Total marketable securities $ 22.0 $ 22.1 As of December 26, 2019 Amortized Cost Aggregate Fair Maturities (1) MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Short-term U.S. government agency bonds $ 3.5 $ 3.5 0.4 Short-term certificates of deposit 0.9 0.9 0.8 Short-term certificates of deposit 1.2 1.2 0.5 Short-term commercial paper: Financial 8.0 7.9 0.3 Industrial 4.0 4.0 0.2 Total short-term marketable securities 17.6 17.5 Long-term U.S. government agency bonds 4.5 4.5 2.2 Long-term certificates of deposit 3.0 3.0 3.6 Total long-term marketable securities 7.5 7.5 Total marketable securities $ 25.1 $ 25.0 ___________________________________ (1) Maturities —Securities available for sale include obligations with various contractual maturity dates some of which are greater than one year. The Company considers the securities to be liquid and convertible to cash within 30 days.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On March 27, 2020, the U.S. Government enacted various relief and stimulus measures in response to the unprecedented adverse economic impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic commonly referred to as the CARES Act. The CARES Act makes changes to the U.S. tax code that will affect our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the limitation on deductible interest expense, (2) changing uses and limitations of net operating losses generated in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, (3) deferring the payment of the 6.2% FICA portion of Company's payroll taxes beginning on the enactment date through December 31, 2020 to the end of 2021 for one-half of the tax and the remaining half to the end of 2022 and (4) creating a refundable tax credit for the Company's portion of the 6.2% FICA payroll tax for certain qualifying employees. The Company is also evaluating the other provisions of the CARES Act to determine the impact to the Company. On April 30, 2020, NCM LLC amended its Credit Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2018 (“Credit Agreement Amendment”) to allow for the automatic waiver of any non-compliance with its Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio financial covenants occurring from the quarter ending June 25, 2020 until and including the quarter ending July 1, 2021 (the “Covenant Holiday Period”). As of March 26, 2020, NCM LLC was in compliance with the foregoing financial covenants. The Credit Agreement Amendment requires that, until the fiscal quarter ending July 1, 2021, NCM LLC must not permit the sum of unrestricted cash on hand at NCM LLC and availability under its Revolving Credit Facility to be less than $55.0 million. Further, NCM LLC can make available cash distributions to its members (AMC, Cinemark, Regal and NCM, Inc.) during the Covenant Holiday Period only if trailing 12-month Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equals or exceeds $277.0 million and outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility are equal to or less than $39.0 million. NCM LLC can make available cash distributions to its members outside of the Covenant Holiday Period so long as NCM LLC’s Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 5.00 to 1.00 and no default or event of default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing. On May 5, 2020 , the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share (approximately $5.4 million ) on each share of the Company’s common stock (not including outstanding restricted stock which will accrue dividends until the shares vest) to stockholders of record on May 18, 2020 to be paid on June 1, 2020. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, almost all the theaters across the Company’s network remain closed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The ultimate significance of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including the extent of the adverse impact on the Company’s financial and operational results, will be dictated by the currently unknowable duration and the effect on the overall economy and of responsive governmental regulations, including shelter-in-place orders and mandated business closures. The Company’s business also could be significantly affected should the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic lead to changes in consumer behavior (such as social distancing), which the Company currently believes will be temporary, or further reductions to the customary theatrical release window. The COVID-19 Pandemic also makes it more challenging for management to estimate the future performance of our business over the near to medium term. The Company is monitoring the rapidly evolving situation and its potential impacts on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

The Company (Policies)

The Company (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes of NCM, Inc. in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in an annual report have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly report. The balance sheet as of December 26, 2019 is derived from the audited financial statements of NCM, Inc. Therefore, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2019 . In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The Company’s business is seasonal and for this and other reasons operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the Company’s full year results or future performance. As a result of the various related party agreements discussed in Note 5— Related Party Transactions , the operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred if all agreements were with non-related third parties. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment of advertising.
Estimates	Estimates —The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, share-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition —The Company derives revenue principally from the advertising business, which includes on-screen and lobby network (LEN) advertising and lobby promotions and advertising on websites and mobile applications owned by NCM LLC and other companies. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits provided by NCM LLC’s advertising services and the Company has the right to payment for performance to date. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers	Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers —The risk of credit loss related to the Company's trade receivables and unbilled receivables balances is accounted for through the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account which reduces the net receivables balance. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is determined by pooling the Company's receivables with similar risk characteristics, specifically by type of customer (national or local/ regional) and then age of receivable, and applying historical write off percentages to these pools in order to determine the amount of expected credit losses as of the balance sheet date. National receivables are with large advertising agencies with strong reputations in the advertising industry and clients with stable financial positions and good credit ratings, represent larger receivables balances per customer and have significantly lower historical and expected credit loss patterns. Local and regional receivables are with much smaller companies with limited credit information available, smaller receivable balances per customer and higher historical and expected credit loss patterns. The Company has smaller contracts with thousands of local clients that are not individually significant. The Company also considers current economic conditions and trends to determine whether adjustments to historical loss rates are necessary. As of March 26, 2020 , the Company increased the allowance related to local and regional customers, recording an incremental $0.7 million in bad debt expense during the three months ended March 26, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2019, given the adverse impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on certain businesses, in particular, categories of small businesses (i.e. restaurants, travel, etc.) which the Company expects could lead to an increased rate of default. The Company also reserves for specific receivable balances that it expects to write off based on known concerns regarding the financial health of the customer. Receivables are written off when management determines amounts are uncollectible. As of March 26, 2020 and December 26, 2019 , there were no advertising agency groups or individual customers through which the Company sources advertising revenue representing more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding gross receivable balance. During the three months ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 , the Company had no customers that accounted for more than 10% of revenue.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation —The Company has issued stock options and restricted stock to certain employees and restricted stock units to its independent directors. The restricted stock grants for Company management vest upon the achievement of Company performance measures and/or service conditions, while non-management grants vest only upon the achievement of service conditions. Compensation expense of restricted stock that vests upon the achievement of Company performance measures is based on management’s financial projections and the probability of achieving the projections, which require considerable judgment. A cumulative adjustment is recorded to share-based compensation expense in periods that management changes its estimate of the number of shares of restricted stock expected to vest. Ultimately, the Company adjusts the expense recognized to reflect the actual vested shares following the resolution of the performance conditions. Dividends are accrued when declared on unvested restricted stock that is expected to vest and are only paid with respect to shares that actually vest.
Consolidation	Consolidation —NCM, Inc. consolidates the accounts of NCM LLC under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). The following table presents the changes in NCM, Inc.’s equity resulting from net income attributable to NCM, Inc. and transfers to or from noncontrolling interests (in millions): Three Months Ended March 26, March 28, Net income attributable to NCM, Inc. $ (3.7 ) $ (1.1 ) NCM LLC equity issued for purchase of intangible asset 5.0 3.7 Income tax and other impacts of subsidiary ownership changes (4.0 ) (1.4 ) Change from net income attributable to NCM, Inc. and transfers from noncontrolling interests $ (2.7 ) $ 1.2
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on December 27, 2019, the Company recorded a $3.2 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings related to the change in methodology surrounding the historical losses utilized in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses related to trade and unbilled accounts receivable reducing the allowance to $3.0 million as of the adoption date. The Company also recorded a corresponding $0.4 million reduction to the corresponding deferred tax asset with the offset also recorded to retained earnings. The other impacts upon adoption were immaterial to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has incorporated additional disclosures in Note 1— The Company, Note 2— Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Accounts Receivable and Note 9— Fair Value Measurements to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to comply with ASU 2016-13. The Company has also designed and implemented changes to certain processes and internal controls related to its adoption of ASU 2016-13.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes the following exceptions for the Company to analyze in a given period: the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; the exception to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and the exception in interim periods income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto. In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. This guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the LIBOR transition and this ASU on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto.

(2) Comprised of payments per theater attendee, payments per digital screen with respect to the founding member theaters included in the Company’s network and payments for access to higher quality digital cinema equipment. Following the 2019 ESA Amendments in September of 2019 this also includes payments to Cinemark and Regal for their share of the revenue from the sale of an additional single unit that is either 30 or 60 seconds of the Noovie pre-show in the trailer position directly prior to the “attached” trailers preceding the feature film (the “Platinum Spot”).
