SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business — Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) operates in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curaçao and Paraguay. Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated while those affiliates of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for under the equity method. Those affiliates of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these equity method investees are included in the consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial institutions, petty cash held by the theatres and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash investments are primarily in money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper or other similar funds. Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable, which are recorded at net realizable value, consist primarily of receivables related to screen advertising, screen rental, receivables related to discounted tickets and gift cards sold to third party retail locations, receivables from landlords related to theatre construction and remodels, rebates earned from the Company’s concession vendors and value-added and other non-income tax receivables. Inventories — Concession and theatre supplies inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Theatre Properties and Equipment — Theatre properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Category Useful Life Buildings on owned land 40 years Buildings on leased land Lesser of lease term or useful life Land and buildings under capital and finance leases (1) Lesser of lease term or useful life Theatre furniture and equipment 3 to 15 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of lease term or useful life (1) The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company also performs a full quantitative impairment evaluation on an annual basis. The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, operating lease right-of-use asset carrying values, amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, the impact of recent theatre remodels or other substantial improvements, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its impairment assessment. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on a theatre basis, which the Company believes is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the theatre’s useful life correlates with the remaining lease period, which includes the probability of the exercise of available renewal periods or extensions, for leased properties and the lesser of twenty years or the building’s remaining useful life for owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When the estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group, the asset group is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2017, 2018 and 2019 . The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Note 10 for further discussion. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and we have allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. Management considers the reporting unit to be each of its twenty regions in the U.S. and seven of its international countries with Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala considered one reporting unit (the Company does not have goodwill recorded for all of its international locations). Under ASC Topic 350, (“ASC Topic 350”), the Company may perform a qualitative impairment assessment or a quantitative impairment assessment of our goodwill. A quantitative analysis requires the Company to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, goodwill would be written down such that the carrying value would equal estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during 2017, 2018 and 2019. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during 2018 and 2019. A qualitative assessment includes consideration of historical and expected future industry performance, estimated future performance of the Company, current industry trading multiples and other economic factors, and a review of current carrying values to estimated fair values as determined during our most recent quantitative assessment. The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for all reporting units during the year ended December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill assessment for three new domestic reporting units and a qualitative assessment for all other reporting units. For the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company performed a qualitative analysis for all reporting units. The Company did not record any goodwill impairment charges as a result of the assessments performed during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Under ASC Topic 350, the Company can elect to perform a qualitative or quantitative impairment assessment for our tradename intangible assets. A quantitative tradename impairment assessment includes comparing the carrying values of tradename assets to an estimated fair value. Fair values are estimated by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends. A qualitative assessment considers our historical and forecasted revenues and changes in estimated royalty rates, and a comparison of current carrying values to estimated fair values from our most recent quantitative assessment. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company performed a quantitative tradename impairment assessment for its tradename in Ecuador and performed a qualitative tradename impairment analysis for all other tradename intangible assets. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company performed a quantitative tradename impairment evaluation for all of its tradename assets. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company performed a qualitative tradename impairment analysis for all of its tradename assets. As a result of the analysis performed during each year, no impairment charges were recorded related to tradename intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The table below summarizes the Company’s intangible assets and the amortization method used for each type of intangible asset: Intangible Asset Amortization Method Goodwill Indefinite-lived Tradename Indefinite-lived and definite-lived. Definite-lived tradename assets have a remaining useful life of approximately one to six years. Vendor contracts Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying contracts. The remaining term of the underlying contract is one year. Favorable/unfavorable leases Based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are realized over the terms of the lease agreements. See Note 3 for discussion of the impact of ASC Topic 842 on the recording of favorable and unfavorable leases. Other intangible assets Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying agreement or the expected useful life of the intangible asset. The remaining useful lives of these intangible assets range from one to five years. Lease Accounting — See Note 3 for discussion of the Company’s lease accounting policies as well as the impact of new lease accounting pronouncements. Deferred Charges — Deferred charges and other assets consist of construction and other deposits, equipment to be placed in service, and other assets of a long-term nature. Self-Insurance Reserves — In the U.S., the Company is self-insured for general liability claims subject to an annual cap. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, general liability claims were capped at $250, $250 and $500, respectively, per occurrence with aggregate annual caps of approximately $3,900, $4,750 and $6,000, respectively. For its international locations, the Company is fully insured for general liability claims with little or no deductibles per occurrence. During 2017, the Company implemented a fully-funded deductible workers compensation insurance plan under which the Company is responsible for pre-funding claims and is responsible for claims up to $250 per occurrence, with an annual cap of $5,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Company was also self-insured for domestic medical claims up to $250 per occurrence for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. As of December 31, 2018 and 2019, the Company’s insurance reserves were $10,827 and $11,577, respectively, and are reflected in accrued other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets Revenue and Expense Recognition — See Note 4 for discussion of revenue recognition and deferred revenues. Film rental costs are subject to the film licensing arrangement and accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either; 1) a sliding scale formula, which is generally established prior to the opening of the film, 2) firm terms or 3) estimates of the final settlement rate, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run. Under a sliding scale formula, we pay a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix that is based upon box office performance of the film for its full run. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either an aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when the initial box office performance of the film is known. If actual settlements are different than those estimates, film rental costs are adjusted at that time. Accounting for Share Based Awards — The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value is estimated using a market observed price. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). At the time of the grant, the Company also estimates the number of awards that will ultimately be forfeited. See Note 16 for discussion of the Company’s share based awards and related compensation expense. Income Taxes — The Company uses an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company should presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). The Company accrues interest and penalties on its uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Segments — For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Company managed its business under two reportable operating segments, U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 20. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Foreign Currency Translations — The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 14 for a summary of the translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Company recognizes foreign currency transaction gains and losses when changes in exchange rates impact transactions, other than intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, that have been denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. Fair Value Measurements — According to authoritative guidance, inputs used in fair value measurements fall into three different categories; Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. See Note 13 for a discussion of our fair value measurements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. Acquisitions — The Company accounts for acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income. For certain acquisitions, the Company obtains independent third party valuation studies for certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to assist the Company in determining fair value. The estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves a number of estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts realized. The Company provides assumptions, including both quantitative and qualitative information, about the specified asset or liability to the third party valuation firms. The Company primarily utilizes the third parties to accumulate comparative data from multiple sources and assemble a report that summarizes the information obtained. The Company then uses the information to record estimated fair value. The third party valuation firms are supervised by Company personnel who are knowledgeable about valuations and fair value. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of the assumptions and valuation methodologies utilized by the third party valuation firm.

Leases [Abstract]
Adoption of ASC Topic 842 - Lease Accounting	3. ADOPTION OF ASC TOPIC 842 – LEASE ACCOUNTING The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach that resulted in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and elected certain practical expedients. The Company elected the following practical expedients, as allowed by ASC Topic 842: • The Company chose not to separate nonlease components from lease components, accounting for lease components and nonlease components associated with a lease as a single lease component. More specifically, for theatre leases, the Company elected not to separate fixed common area maintenance costs from lease costs when calculating lease liabilities and assets. • The Company did not reassess whether existing contracts in effect as of the transition date of January 1, 2019 were, or contained, a lease. • The Company did not reassess the classification of existing leases as operating or finance as of the transition date. • The Company did not reassess whether any initial direct costs were incurred for any of its existing leases. • The Company did not elect to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases. The adoption of ASC Topic 842 included the following primary impacts: 1. The Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all of its operating leases as required by the standard. The lease liability for each lease was determined based on the present value of lease payments. The right-of-use asset was based on the lease liability value, adjusted for offsets that existed as of adoption, including deferred rent liabilities of ($39,235), net favorable and unfavorable lease intangibles of ($5,780), deferred lease incentive liabilities of ($12,960) and long-term prepaid rents of $7,707. The Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of $1,491,245 and operating lease liabilities of $1,545,210 upon adoption. 2. Certain of the Company’s existing lease assets and liabilities, which were accounted for under prior sale-leaseback accounting guidance, were derecognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842 and reevaluated for classification per the new accounting guidance. Several of these leases have been reestablished as operating leases based on ASC Topic 842. a. For those leases that are now classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, approximately $110,442 and $126,376 of lease assets and liabilities, respectively, were recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The related net deferred income tax asset for these accounts was also recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. See additional impact discussed in item 3 below. b. The Company recognized finance lease assets and liabilities in the amount of $57,440 as of January 1, 2019 for the remaining leases that were determined to be finance leases under ASC Topic 842. 3. For the leases noted in item 2a above, the Company will now record the related operating lease payments as facility lease expense, compared to prior periods in which the capitalized asset was depreciated and lease payments were recorded as a reduction of a lease liability and interest expense. Real Estate Leases - The Company conducts a significant part of its theatre operations in leased properties under noncancelable operating and finance leases with terms generally ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition to fixed lease payments, some of the leases provide for variable lease payments and some require the payment of taxes, insurance and other costs applicable to the property. Variable lease payments include payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels or payments adjusted periodically for inflation or changes in attendance. The Company can renew, at its option, a substantial portion of the leases at defined or then market rental rates for various periods. Some leases also provide for escalating rent payments throughout the lease term. The Company also leases certain office and warehouse facilities in the U.S. and in international locations. The lease terms for these facilities generally only include fixed payments. The Company recognizes fixed lease expense for the operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s real estate lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Equipment Leases - The Company has certain equipment operating leases primarily including projectors, trash compactors and various other equipment used in the day-to-day operation of the business. Certain of the leases require fixed lease payments to be made over the duration of the lease term, while others are variable in nature based on usage or sales. Certain of these leases are month-to-month, while others are noncancelable with terms generally ranging from 5 to 11 years. The Company’s equipment lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The following table represents the operating and finance right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of December 31, 2019. As of Leases Classification December 31, 2019 Assets (1) Operating lease assets Operating lease assets $ 1,383,080 Finance lease assets Theatre properties and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation (2) 116,135 Total lease assets $ 1,499,215 Liabilities (1) Current Operating Current portion of operating lease obligations $ 217,406 Finance Current portion of finance lease obligations 15,432 Noncurrent Operating Operating lease obligations, less current portion 1,223,462 Finance Finance lease obligations, less current portion 141,017 Total lease liabilities $ 1,597,317 (1) The operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet generally do not include renewal options that have not yet been exercised. The Company does not consider a lease renewal as reasonably certain until immediately before the necessary notification is provided to the landlord. (2) Finance lease assets are net of accumulated amortization of $36,384 as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had signed lease agreements with total noncancelable lease payments of approximately $242,898 related to theatre leases that had not yet commenced. The timing of lease commencement is dependent on the completion of construction of the related theatre facility. Additionally, these amounts are based on estimated square footage and costs to construct each facility and may be subject to adjustment upon final completion of each construction project. In accordance with ASC Topic 842, fixed minimum lease payments related to these theatres are not included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of December 31, 2019. There were no significant noncancelable lease agreements signed, but not yet commenced, related to equipment leases. The following table represents the Company’s aggregate lease costs, by lease classification, for the year ended December 31, 2019. Year Ended Lease Cost Classification December 31, 2019 Operating lease costs Equipment (1) Utilities and other $ 9,172 Real Estate (2)(3) Facility lease expense 346,222 Total operating lease costs $ 355,394 Finance lease costs Depreciation of leased assets Depreciation and amortization $ 14,734 Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense 7,786 Total finance lease costs $ 22,520 (1) Includes approximately $4,700 of short-term lease payments for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(2) The discount rate for each lease represents the incremental borrowing rate at which the Company would borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term and at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The following table represents the minimum cash lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities and the non-cash addition of right-of-use assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. Year Ended Other Information December 31, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Cash outflows for operating leases $ 281,895 Cash outflows for finance leases - operating activities $ 7,575 Cash outflows for finance leases - financing activities $ 14,600 Non-cash amount of leased assets obtained in exchange for: Operating lease liabilities - real estate $ 113,318 Operating lease liabilities - equipment $ 795 Finance lease liabilities $ 21,535 Lessor Arrangements As noted above, the Company did not reassess whether existing contracts in effect as of the transition date of January 1, 2019 were, or contained, a lease. However, effective September 17, 2019, the Company amended its Exhibitor Services Agreement (“ESA”) with National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”) and, as a result of this amendment, the Company reassessed the ESA under ASC Topic 842. The Company’s assessment resulted in the determination that the nonconsecutive periods of use of the theatre screens by NCM under the ESA qualify as a lease in accordance with ASC Topic 842. See further discussion in Note 7. The Company rents its theatre auditoriums for corporate meetings, screenings, education and training sessions and other private events. These rentals, which are not significant to the Company, are generally one-time events and the related revenue is reflected as other revenue on the consolidated statement of income.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

REVENUE RECOGNITION	12 Months Ended

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE RECOGNITION	4. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue Recognition Policy The Company’s patrons have the option to purchase movie tickets well in advance of a movie showtime or right before the movie showtime, or at any point in between those two timeframes depending on seat availability. The Company recognizes such admissions revenues when the showtime for a purchased movie ticket has passed. Concession revenues are recognized when products are sold to the consumer. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising and screen rental revenues, promotional income, studio trailer placements and transactional fees. The Company sells gift cards and discount ticket vouchers, the proceeds from which are recorded as deferred revenues. Deferred revenues for gift cards and discount ticket vouchers are recognized when they are redeemed for movie tickets or concession items. The Company offers a subscription program in the U.S. whereby patrons can pay a monthly fee to receive a monthly credit for use towards a future movie ticket purchase. The Company records the monthly subscription program fees as deferred revenues and record admissions revenues when the showtime for a movie ticket purchased with a credit has passed. The Company has loyalty programs in the U.S. and many of its international locations that either have a prepaid annual membership fee or award points to customers as purchases are made. For those loyalty programs that have an annual membership fee, the Company recognizes the fee collected as other revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the membership. For those loyalty programs that award points to customers based on their purchases, the Company records a portion of the original transaction proceeds as deferred revenues based on the number of reward points issued to customers and recognizes the deferred revenues when the customer redeems such points. The value of loyalty points issued is based on the estimated fair value of the rewards offered. The Company records breakage revenue on gift cards and discount ticket vouchers generally based on redemption activity and historical experience with unused balances. The Company records breakage revenue upon the expiration of loyalty points and subscription credits. Breakage revenue is recorded as other revenues on the consolidated income statements. Advances collected on concession and other contracts are deferred and recognized during the period in which we satisfy the related performance obligations, which may differ from the period in which the advances are collected. These advances are recognized on either a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts or as the Company meets its performance obligations in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Screen advertising and screen rental revenues for the U.S. operating segment primarily relate to the ESA with NCM and the Company’s beverage concessionaire agreement. Prior to September 17, 2019, such screen advertising was accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019 included approximately $31,620 of receivables related to contracts with customers. The Company did not record any assets related to the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with customers during the year ended December 31, 2019.

(“NCMI”) initial public offering, the Company amended and restated its ESA with NCM and received approximately $174,000 in cash consideration from NCM. The proceeds were recorded as deferred revenue and are being amortized over the term of the modified ESA, or through February 2041. In addition to the consideration received upon the ESA modification during 2007, the Company also receives consideration in the form of common units from NCM, at each annual common unit adjustment settlement, in exchange for exclusive access to the Company’s newly opened domestic screens under the ESA. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the common unit adjustment and related accounting. Due to the significant length of time between receiving the consideration from NCM and fulfillment of the related performance obligation, the ESA includes an implied significant financing component, as per the guidance in ASC Topic 606. The interest expense was calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates at the time when the cash and each tranche of common units were received from NCM, which ranged from 4.4% to 8.0%. See Note 7 for table detailing activity with NCM, which includes interest revenue and expense recorded in 2018 and 2019 related to the significant financing component.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	5. EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company considers its unvested share based payment awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, participating securities, and includes such participating securities in its computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Basic earnings per share for the two classes of stock (common stock and unvested restricted stock) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two class method and the treasury stock method. The following table presents computations of basic and diluted earnings per share under the two class method: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2018 2019 Numerator: Net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. $ 264,180 $ 213,827 $ 191,386 Earnings allocated to participating share-based awards (1) (1,350 ) (1,168 ) (1,174 ) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 262,830 $ 212,659 $ 190,212 Denominator (shares in thousands): Basic weighted average shares outstanding 115,766 116,054 116,306 Common equivalent shares for restricted stock units 293 288 300 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 116,059 116,342 116,606 Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders $ 2.26 $ 1.83 $ 1.63 Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders $ 2.26 $ 1.83 $ 1.63 (1) For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, a weighted average of approximately 596 shares, 640 shares and 721 shares, of unvested restricted stock, respectively, are considered participating securities.

The amounts due to NCM for on-screen advertising time provided to the Company’s beverage concessionaire were approximately $11,110, $11,965 and $11,478 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. (2) As a result of adoption of ASC Topic 606, the Company determined that the deferred revenue associated with the ESA and CUA agreement should be amortized on a straight-line basis versus the units of revenue method followed prior to adoption. In addition, the Company determined that a significant financing component existed for the ESA. See Note 4 for further discussion of the impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606. (3) Approximately $4,828 represents screen rental revenues earned under the amendment to the ESA. See Note 4. In addition to the activity in the table above, the Company made payments to NCM of approximately $102, $74 and $61 during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, related to certain equipment used for digital advertising, which is included in theatre furniture and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets. Investment in National CineMedia NCM operates a digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising. The Company entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM (“ESA”), pursuant to which NCM primarily provides advertising to our theatres. As described in Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements as included in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on February 13, 2007, National Cinemedia, Inc. (“NCMI”), an entity that serves as the sole manager of NCM, completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock. In connection with the NCMI initial public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement and the ESA. At the time of the NCMI IPO and as a result of amending the ESA, the Company received approximately $174,000 in cash consideration from NCM. The proceeds were recorded as deferred revenue or NCM screen advertising advances and was being amortized over the term of the Amended and Restated ESA, or through February 2041. Following the NCMI IPO, the Company does not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on its original NCM membership units (referred to herein as the Company’s Tranche 1 Investment) until NCM’s future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution. The Company recognizes equity in earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment only to the extent it receives cash distributions from NCM. The Company recognizes cash distributions it receives from NCM on its Tranche 1 Investment as a component of earnings as Distributions from NCM. The Company believes that the accounting model provided by ASC Topic 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor’s basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution. Common Unit Adjustments In addition to the consideration received upon the NCMI IPO and ESA modification in 2007, the Company also periodically receives consideration in the form of common units from NCM. Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCMI and the Company, annual adjustments to the common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. As discussed in Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements as included in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the common units received (collectively referred to as the Company’s “Tranche 2 Investment”) are recorded at estimated fair value as an increase in the Company’s investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue or NCM screen advertising advances. The Company’s Tranche 2 Investment is accounted for following the equity method, with undistributed equity earnings related to its Tranche 2 Investment included as a component of earnings in equity in income of affiliates and distributions received related to its Tranche 2 Investment are recorded as a reduction of investment basis During March 2019, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, on March 29, 2019, the Company received an additional 219,056 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCMI common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at estimated fair value with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of approximately $1,552. The fair value of the common units received was estimated based on the market price of NCMI common stock at the time the common units were determined, adjusted for volatility associated with the estimated time period it would take to convert the common units and register the respective shares. The deferred revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the first amendment to the Amended and Restated ESA. Below is a summary of common units received by the Company under the Common Unit Adjustment (“CUA”) Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019: Event Date Common Units Received Number of Common Units Received Fair Value of Common Units Received 2017 annual common unit adjustment 3/31/2017 1,487,218 $ 18,363 2018 annual common unit adjustment 3/29/2018 908,042 $ 5,012 2019 annual common unit adjustment 3/31/2019 219,056 $ 1,552 Each common unit received by the Company is convertible into one share of NCMI common stock. The fair value of the common units received was estimated based on the market price of NCMI stock at the time that the common units were received, adjusted for volatility associated with the estimated period of time it would take to convert the common units and register the respective NCMI shares. The fair value measurement used for the common units falls under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35. The Company records the additional common units it receives as part of its Tranche 2 Investment at estimated fair value with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is amortized over the remaining term of the ESA. Acquisition of Common Units On July 5, 2018, the Company acquired 10,738,740 common units of NCM from AMC for $78,393 in cash, or approximately $7.30 per common unit. As a result of the acquisition of these shares, the Company’s ownership of NCM increased from approximately 18% to 25%. The amount paid for the additional common units was recorded as an increase in the Company’s Tranche 2 investment in NCM. As of December 31, 2019, the Company owned a total of 39,737,700 common units of NCM, which represented an interest of approximately 25%. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in NCM was approximately $289,688 based on NCMI’s stock price as of December 31, 2019 of $7.29 per share (Level 1 input as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820), which was more than the Company’s carrying value of $265,792. Exhibitor Services Agreement As previously discussed, our domestic theatres are part of the in-theatre digital network operated by NCM under the ESA. NCM provides advertising to our theatres through its branded “ Noovie Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Leases The recognition of revenue related to the deferred revenue or NCM screen advertising advances will continue to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the new term of the amended ESA or February 2041. Twelve Months Ended December 31, Remaining Maturity 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Thereafter Total NCM screen advertising advances (1) $ 7,669 8,197 8,762 9,368 10,016 304,342 $ 348,354 (1) Amounts are net of the estimated interest to be accrued for the periods presented. Significant Financing Component Prior to the September 17, 2019 amendment of the ESA, the Company applied a significant financing component, as required by ASC Topic 606, due to the significant length of time between receiving the NCM screen advertising advances (the $174,000 received at the NCMI IPO and the periodic common unit adjustments) and completion of the performance obligation. Effective September 17, 2019, upon the Company’s evaluation and determination that ASC Topic 842 applies to the amended ESA, the Company determined it acceptable to apply the significant financing component guidance from ASC Topic 606 by analogy as the economic substance of the agreement represents a financing arrangement. Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company identified an error in the January 1, 2018 adoption of ASC Topic 606 specifically related to the significant financing component associated with the NCM ESA. The error impacted the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the adoption of ASC Topic 606 at January 1, 2018 and the recorded amounts of revenue and interest expense related to the amortization of NCM screen advertising advances associated with the significant financing component during 2018 and 2019. The Company evaluated the error and, based on an analysis of the relevant quantitative and qualitative factors, determined the impact was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any prior annual or interim period. The consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of equity, and corresponding notes to consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 have been restated from the amounts previously reported to correct the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the adoption of ASC Topic 606. This resulted in a $62,893 increase in NCM screen advertising advances, a $ 15,346 increase in deferred tax assets, and a corresponding $47,547 reduction of retained earnings as of the January 1, 2018 adoption date. The impact for the year ended December 31, 2018 was corrected in the fourth quarter of 2019, resulting in a $1,403 reduction in other revenues, $4,721 increase in interest expense – NCM and a $4,630 reduction of net income. Summary Financial Information for NCM The tables below present summary financial information for NCM for the periods indicated: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended December 28, 2017 December 27, 2018 December 26, 2019 Revenues $ 426,100 $ 441,400 $ 444,800 Operating income $ 153,900 $ 154,300 $ 155,700 Net income $ 101,900 $ 98,400 $ 98,800 As of As of December 27, 2018 December 26, 2019 Current assets $ 172,700 $ 185,400 Noncurrent assets $ 726,800 $ 706,600 Current liabilities $ 115,200 $ 125,500 Noncurrent liabilities $ 924,900 $ 947,800 Members' deficit $ (140,600 ) $ (181,300 )

(2) Consists primarily of mark-to-market adjustment on an investment in marketable securities. Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC (“DCIP”) On February 12, 2007, the Company, AMC and Regal (the “Exhibitors”) entered into a joint venture known as DCIP to facilitate the implementation of digital cinema in the Company’s theatres and to establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the financing of digital cinema. On March 10, 2010, DCIP and its subsidiaries completed an initial financing transaction to enable the purchase, deployment and leasing of digital projection systems to the Exhibitors under equipment lease and installation agreements. On March 31, 2011, DCIP obtained incremental financing necessary to complete the deployment of digital projection systems. DCIP also entered into long-term Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements (“DCDAs”) with six major motion picture studios pursuant to which Kasima LLC, one of DCIP’s subsidiaries, receives a virtual print fee ("VPF") each time the studio books a film or certain other content on the leased digital projection systems. Other content distributors entered into similar DCDAs that provide for the payment of VPFs for bookings of the distributor's content on a leased digital projection system. The DCDAs end on the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of the "mean deployment date" for all digital projection systems scheduled to be deployed over a period of up to five years, or (ii) the date DCIP achieves "cost recoupment", each as defined in the DCDAs. Cost recoupment occurs when revenues attributable to the digital projection systems exceed the financing, deployment, administration and other costs associated with the purchase of the digital projection systems. DCIP expects cost recoupment to occur during late 2020. Pursuant to the operating agreement between the Exhibitors and DCIP, DCIP began to distribute excess cash to the Exhibitors upon the payoff of its outstanding debt, which occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a 33% voting interest in DCIP and a 24.3% economic interest in DCIP. The Company accounts for its investment in DCIP and its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting.

Fair Value of Long Term Debt The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt primarily using quoted market prices, which fall under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35. The carrying value of the Company’s long term debt was $1,809,311 and $1,801,327 as of December 31, 2018 and 2019. The fair value of the Company’s long term debt was $1,774,066 and $1,826,503 as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. Covenant Compliance and Debt Maturity As of December 31, 2019, the Company believes it was in full financial compliance with all agreements, including related covenants, governing its outstanding debt. The Company’s long-term debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, at December 31, 2019 matures as follows: 2020 $ 6,595 2021 6,595 2022 406,595 2023 761,595 2024 6,595 Thereafter 613,352 Total $ 1,801,327 Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company is currently a party to three interest rate swap agreements that are used to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest rates on the Company’s term loan debt and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the related gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the same period that the hedged items affect earnings. The valuation technique used to determine fair value is the income approach and under this approach, the Company uses projected future interest rates as provided by counterparty to the interest rate swap agreement and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under the agreement. Therefore, the Company’s measurements use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35. See Note 13 for a summary of unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Below is a summary of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2019: Estimated Fair Value at Notional December 31, Amount Effective Date Pay Rate Receive Rate Expiration Date 2019 (1) $ 175,000 December 31, 2018 2.751% 1-Month LIBOR December 31, 2022 $ 6,213 $ 137,500 December 31, 2018 2.765% 1-Month LIBOR December 31, 2022 $ 4,956 $ 137,500 December 31, 2018 2.746% 1-Month LIBOR December 31, 2022 $ 4,826 Total $ 15,995 (1) Approximately $5,253 is included in accrued other current liabilities and $10,742 is included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. The total estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps of $15,995, net of deferred taxes of $3,935, is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Fair Value Measurements	13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, which establishes a fair value hierarchy under which an asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value measurement. The levels of input defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date; Level 2 – other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. Below is a summary of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company under FASB ASC Topic 820 as of December 31, 2019: Carrying Fair Value Description Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate swap liabilities $ (15,995) $ — $ — $ (15,995) Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Liabilities (1) 2019 Beginning balance - January 1 $ 5,093 Total loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss 13,039 Settlements included in interest expense (2,137 ) Ending balance - December 31 $ 15,995 (1) Represents interest rate swap liabilities. See Note 12 for further discussion. The Company also uses the market approach for fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis in the impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets (see Note 1 and Note 10). Additionally, the Company uses the market approach to estimate the fair value of its long-term debt (see Note 12). There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION	14. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity of $319,007 and $340,112 at December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively, includes the cumulative foreign currency losses of $315,300 and $328,053, respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries and the change in fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements designated as hedges. As of December 31, 2019, all foreign countries where the Company has operations, other than Argentina, are non-highly inflationary, and the local currency is the same as the functional currency in all of the locations. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company deemed Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning July 1, 2018. A highly inflationary economy is defined as an economy with a cumulative inflation rate of approximately 100 percent or more over a three-year the reporting entity. The financial statements of the Company’s Argentina subsidiaries has been remeasured in U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters , effective beginning July 1, 2018.

CAPITAL STOCK	16. CAPITAL STOCK Common Stock — Common stockholders are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock, the Company’s common stockholders are entitled to dividends declared by the board of directors. The shares of the Company’s common stock are not subject to any redemption provisions. The Company has no issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock. The Company’s ability to pay dividends is effectively limited by its status as a holding company and the terms of its subsidiary’s indentures and senior secured credit facility, which also significantly restricts the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends directly or indirectly to the Company. See Note 12 for discussion of restrictions contained within the debt agreements of the Company’s subsidiaries. Treasury Stock — Treasury stock represents shares of common stock repurchased by the Company and not yet retired. The Company has applied the cost method in recording its treasury shares. Below is a summary of the Company’s treasury stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Number of Treasury Shares Cost Balance at January 1, 2017 4,447,002 $ 73,411 Restricted stock withholdings (1) 68,527 2,943 Restricted stock forfeitures (2) 10,341 — Balance at December 31, 2017 4,525,870 $ 76,354 Restricted stock withholdings (1) 75,801 2,905 Restricted stock forfeitures (2) 24,520 — Balance at December 31, 2018 4,626,191 $ 79,259 Restricted stock withholdings (1) 59,060 2,308 Restricted stock forfeitures (2) 26,608 — Balance at December 31, 2019 4,711,859 $ 81,567 (1) The Company withheld restricted shares as a result of the election by certain employees to satisfy their tax liabilities upon vesting in restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company determined the number of shares to be withheld based upon market values that ranged from $29.17 to $44.44 per share. (2) The Company repurchased forfeited restricted shares at a cost of $0.001 per share in accordance with the 2017 Omnibus Plan. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no plans to retire any shares of its treasury stock. Restricted Stock — Below is a summary of restricted stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended December 31, 2017 December 31, 2018 December 31, 2019 Shares of Restricted Stock Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares of Restricted Stock Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares of Restricted Stock Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at January 1 606,618 $ 33.51 650,581 $ 35.81 704,353 $ 38.68 Granted 246,534 $ 41.70 328,734 $ 38.72 315,899 $ 37.34 Vested (192,230 ) $ 36.26 (250,442 ) $ 31.27 (209,821 ) $ 41.10 Forfeited (10,341 ) $ 33.48 (24,520 ) $ 38.62 (26,608 ) $ 37.69 Outstanding at December 31 650,581 $ 35.81 704,353 $ 38.68 783,823 $ 37.53 During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company granted 315,899 shares of restricted stock to directors and employees of the Company. The fair value of the restricted stock granted was determined based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $34.01 to $41.61 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 10% for the restricted stock awards. Restricted stock granted to directors vests over a one-year Below is a summary of restricted stock award activity recorded for the periods indicated. Year Ended December 31, 2017 2018 2019 Compensation expense recognized during the period $ 8,384 $ 9,655 $ 10,185 Fair value of restricted shares that vested during the period $ 8,172 $ 9,501 $ 8,024 Income tax deduction upon vesting of restricted stock awards $ 2,667 $ 1,744 $ 1,516 As of December 31, 2019, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted stock awards was approximately $15,524. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years. Restricted Stock Units — During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Company granted restricted stock units representing 175,634, 228,194 and 306,651 hypothetical shares of common stock, respectively, to employees. The restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) for a two year measurement period, as defined in the award agreement, based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain specified adjustments (as defined in the restricted stock unit award agreement). The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity and vest on a prorata basis according to the IRR achieved by the Company during the performance period. As an example, if the Company achieves an IRR equal to 9.0% for the 2017 grant, the number of restricted stock units that shall vest will be greater than the target but less than the maximum number that would have vested had the Company achieved the highest IRR. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest will be subject to an additional service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. At the time of each of the restricted stock unit grants, the Company assumes the IRR level to be reached for the defined measurement period will be the target IRR level in determining the amount of compensation expense to record for such grants. If and when additional information becomes available to indicate that something other than the target IRR level will be achieved, the Company adjusts compensation expense on a prospective basis over the remaining service period. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 5% for the restricted stock unit awards granted during 2017, 2018 and 2019. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards vest. Below is a table summarizing the potential number of units that could vest under restricted stock unit awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 at each of the three levels of financial performance (excluding forfeitures): Granted During the Year Ended December 31, 2017 2018 2019 Number of Value at Number of Value at Number of Value at Units Grant (1) Units Grant (1) Units Grant (1) at threshold IRR 58,545 $ 2,481 76,065 $ 2,967 136,285 $ 5,011 at target IRR 117,089 $ 4,961 152,129 $ 5,938 204,427 $ 7,517 at maximum IRR 175,634 $ 7,442 228,194 $ 8,906 306,651 $ 11,276 (1) The grant date fair value for units issued during the year ended December 31, 2017 was $42.37. The grant date fair values for the units issued during the year ended December 31, 2018 ranged from $37.55 to $39.03. The grant date fair value for units issued during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $36.77 per share. Below is a summary of activity for restricted stock unit awards for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2018 2019 Number of restricted stock unit awards that vested during the period 97,115 127,084 90,895 Fair value of restricted stock unit awards that vested during the period $ 4,155 $ 4,846 $ 3,658 Accumulated dividends paid upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards $ 558 $ 526 $ 386 Compensation expense recognized during the period $ 4,297 $ 4,681 $ 4,430 Income tax benefit recognized upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards $ 1,745 $ 708 $ 397 During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company modified the performance target levels for the restricted stock unit awards granted during February 2017 and February 2018 for all participants other than certain executive officers. The modification adjusted the threshold, target and maximum IRR levels from 7.0%, 9.5% and 13.0%, respectively, to 6.0%, 8.0% and 14.0%, respectively. The Company accounted for the change in performance measures as modifications of each award, and recorded a reduction to compensation expense of $132 at the time of the modification. Simultaneous with the modification of the restricted stock unit awards granted during February 2017, the Company determined that the final IRR reached for the respective measurement period was 9.3%, which resulted in a reduction in compensation expense of approximately $563. The current financial performance factors and respective vesting rates for each of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 grants are as follows: Year Ended December 31, Percentage of Shares Vesting 2017 2018 2019 Threshold IRR 6.0% 6.0% 6.0% 33.3% Target IRR 8.0% 8.0% 8.0% 66.6% Maximum IRR 14.0% 14.0% 14.0% 100.0% As of December 31, 2019, the Company had restricted stock units outstanding that represented a total 749,895 hypothetical shares of common stock, net of actual cumulative forfeitures of 6,195 units, assuming the maximum IRR is achieved for all of the outstanding restricted stock unit awards. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding restricted stock unit awards was $9,872, which reflects an IRR level of 7.2% that was achieved for the 2016 grant, an IRR level of 9.3% that was achieved for the 2017 grant and an IRR level of 8.0% that is estimated for the 2018 and 2019 grants. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	18. INCOME TAXES On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made changes to the U.S. tax code, which included (1) reduced U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, (2) generally eliminated U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, (3) a one-time transition tax on certain undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and (4) created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. As of December 31, 2018, the amounts recorded for the Tax Act were final for the 2017 transition tax, the remeasurement of deferred taxes and the Company’s reassessment of valuation allowances. The Company’s provision for federal and foreign income tax expense for continuing operations consisted of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2018 2019 Income before income taxes: U.S. $ 280,535 $ 289,727 $ 235,571 Foreign 64,842 21,007 38,189 Total $ 345,377 $ 310,734 $ 273,760 Current and deferred income taxes were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2018 2019 Current: Federal $ 54,435 $ 46,826 $ 45,247 Foreign 29,306 11,822 24,022 State 10,632 13,594 12,486 Total current expense $ 94,373 $ 72,242 $ 81,755 Deferred: Federal $ (14,046 ) $ 27,055 $ (298 ) Foreign (4,270 ) (6,166 ) 5 State 3,301 2,298 (1,550 ) Total deferred taxes $ (15,015 ) $ 23,187 $ (1,843 ) Income taxes $ 79,358 $ 95,429 $ 79,912 A reconciliation between income tax expense and taxes computed by applying the applicable statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2018 2019 Computed statutory tax expense $ 120,882 $ 65,254 $ 57,490 State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax impact 12,786 12,611 8,479 Changes in valuation allowance 44 131 2,532 Foreign tax rate differential (245 ) 2,235 4,646 Foreign dividends 13,662 — — Foreign tax credits (21,647 ) 3,927 4,143 Impacts related to 2017 Tax Act (1)(2) (44,889 ) 19,180 — Changes in uncertain tax positions 983 (6,139 ) 197 Other — net (2,218 ) (1,770 ) 2,425 Income taxes $ 79,358 $ 95,429 $ 79,912 (1) The amount for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes a one-time charge to true-up deferred taxes of $1,913 and a reduction in deferred tax assets with regard to foreign tax credit carryforwards of $17,267. (2) The amount for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes a one-time benefit due to re-measurement of net deferred tax liabilities using a lower U.S. corporate tax rate and a reassessment of permanently reinvested earnings of ($79,834), a deemed repatriation tax of $14,512, and a reduction in deferred tax assets with regard to foreign tax credit carryforwards of $20,433. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $432,994 of accumulated undistributed earnings and profits, approximately $370,389 of which was subject to the one-time transition tax pursuant to the Tax Act. Any additional tax due on the repatriation of previously taxed earnings would generally be foreign withholding and U.S. state income taxes. The Company does not intend to repatriate these offshore earnings and profits, and therefore has not recorded any deferred taxes on such earnings. The Company considers any excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of its investment in its foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested. At this time, the determination of deferred tax liabilities on this amount is not practicable. Deferred Income Taxes The tax effects of significant temporary differences and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards comprising the net long-term deferred income tax liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 consisted of the following: December 31, 2018 2019 Deferred liabilities: Theatre properties and equipment $ 158,797 $ 138,382 Operating lease right-of-use assets — 322,750 Intangible asset — other 33,561 39,282 Intangible asset — tradenames 73,261 72,821 Investment in partnerships 63,217 62,914 Total deferred liabilities 328,836 636,149 Deferred assets: Deferred lease expenses 13,464 — Deferred revenue - NCM 86,035 85,362 Deferred revenue - Other 4,153 9,953 Gift Cards 6,173 7,402 Operating lease obligations — 336,034 Finance lease obligations 63,895 34,956 Tax impact of items in accumulated other comprehensive income 2,237 5,131 Other tax loss carryforwards 15,608 17,053 Other tax credit carryforwards 42,989 46,577 Other expenses, not currently deductible for tax purposes 17,755 21,573 Total deferred assets 252,309 564,041 Net deferred income tax liability before valuation allowance 76,527 72,108 Valuation allowance against deferred assets – non-current 54,725 60,359 Net deferred income tax liability $ 131,252 $ 132,467 Net deferred tax (asset) liability — Foreign $ (5,449 ) $ (4,539 ) Net deferred tax liability — U.S. 136,701 137,006 Total $ 131,252 $ 132,467 A significant portion of our foreign tax credit carryforwards expire in 2024. Some foreign net operating losses expired in 2019; however, some losses may be carried forward indefinitely. State net operating losses may be carried forward for periods of between five and twenty years with the last expiring year being 2037. The Company’s valuation allowance changed from $54,725 at December 31, 2018 to $60,359 at December 31, 2019 (see Note 22). The change was a result of an increase for foreign tax credit carryovers and certain foreign net operating losses, partially offset by a decrease for state net operating losses. Uncertain Tax Positions The following is a reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties, for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2018 2019 Balance at January 1, $ 17,403 $ 18,266 $ 10,561 Gross increases - tax positions in prior periods 92 — 1 Gross decreases - tax positions in prior periods (12 ) (143 ) — Gross increases - current period tax positions 265 424 202 Settlements (177 ) (7,191 ) (522 ) Foreign currency translation adjustments 695 (795 ) (7 ) Balance at December 31, $ 18,266 $ 10,561 $ 10,235 The Company had $13,953 and $14,294 of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. Of these amounts, $13,953 and $14,294 represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Company had $3,390 and $4,058 accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that certain tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits will be effectively settled within the next twelve months. The Company estimates a potential decrease of $9,494 to its unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding decrease in accrued interest of $3,952. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in certain state and foreign jurisdictions and are routinely under audit by many different tax authorities. The Company believes that its accrual for tax liabilities is adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. The Company is no longer subject to income tax audits from the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2017. The Company is no longer subject to state income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major state jurisdictions for years before 2015. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major non-U.S. tax jurisdictions for years before 2006. The Company is currently under audit in the non-U.S. tax jurisdiction of Brazil.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Employment Agreements — As of December 31, 2019, the Company had employment agreements with Lee Roy Mitchell, Mark Zoradi, Sean Gamble, Valmir Fernandes and Michael Cavalier. The employment agreements for Messrs. Mitchell, Gamble, Fernandes and Cavalier are subject to automatic extensions for a one year period, unless the employment agreements are terminated. The employment agreement for Mr. Zoradi will expire on December 31, 2020 unless extended by the Company and Mr. Zoradi. The base salaries stipulated in the employment agreements are subject to review at least annually during the term of the agreements for increase (but not decrease) by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Management personnel subject to these employment agreements are eligible to receive annual cash incentive bonuses upon the Company meeting certain performance targets established by the Compensation Committee within the first 90 days of the fiscal year. Retirement Savings Plan — The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan (“401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of all eligible employees and makes matching contributions as determined annually in accordance with the 401(k) Plan. Employer matching contribution payments of $5,076 and $6,052 were made during 2018 and 2019, respectively. A liability of approximately $1,539 was recorded at December 31, 2019 for employer contribution payments to be made in 2020 for the remaining amounts owed for plan year 2019. Legal Proceedings Intertrust Technologies Corporation (“Intertrust”) v. Cinemark Holdings, Inc., Regal, AMC, et al. This case was filed against the Company on August 7, 2019 in the Eastern District of Texas – Marshall Division alleging patent infringement. The Company firmly maintains that the contentions of the Plaintiff are without merit and will vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. Although the Company does not believe that it has infringed on any of Intertrust’s patents, it cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. Flagship Theatres of Palm Desert, LLC d/b/a Cinemas Palme D’Or v. Century Theatres, Inc., and Cinemark USA, Inc.; Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles . Plaintiff in this case alleges that the Company violated California antitrust and unfair competition laws by engaging in “circuit dealing” with various motion picture distributors and tortiously interfered with Plaintiff’s business relationships. Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, trebling of those damages under California law, punitive damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, costs and interest. Plaintiff also alleges that the Company’s conduct ultimately resulted in closure of its theatre in June 2016. The Company denied the allegations. In 2008, the Company moved for summary judgment on Plaintiff’s claims, arguing primarily that clearances between the theatres at issue were lawful and that Plaintiff lacked proof sufficient to support certain technical elements of its antitrust claims. The trial court granted that motion and dismissed Plaintiff’s claims. Plaintiff appealed and, in 2011, the Court of Appeal reversed, holding, among other things, that Plaintiff’s claims were not about the illegality of clearances but were focused, instead, on “circuit dealing.” Having re-framed the claims in that manner, the Court of Appeal held that the trial court’s decision to limit discovery to the market where the theatres at issue operated was an error, as “circuit dealing” necessarily involves activities in different markets. Upon return to the trial court, the parties engaged in additional, broadened discovery related to Plaintiff’s “circuit dealing” claim. Thereafter, the Company moved again for summary judgment on all of Plaintiff’s claims. That new motion for summary judgment was pending when, on or about April 11, 2014, the trial court granted the Company’s motion for terminating sanctions and entered a judgment dismissing the case with prejudice. Plaintiff then appealed that second dismissal, seeking to have the judgment reversed and the case remanded to the trial court. The Court of Appeal issued a ruling on May 24, 2016, reversing the granting of terminating sanctions and instead imposed a lesser evidentiary and damages preclusion sanction. The case returned to the trial court on October 6, 2016. On May 10, 2018, after a five-week jury trial, the jury found no liability on one circuit dealing claim and awarded Plaintiff damages on the other claim, which are tripled for antitrust damage awards. Plaintiff would also be entitled to certain court costs and to seek at least some portion of its attorney’s fees. During 2018, the Company recorded a litigation reserve based on the jury award, court costs and attorney’s fees. The trial court denied a motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict and a motion for a new trial. The Company has appealed the judgment. Although the Company denies that it engaged in any form of circuit dealing, it cannot predict the outcome of its pending motions or future appeals. Civil Investigative Demand. The Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. The CID relates to an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. The Company also received CIDs from the Antitrust Section of the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Ohio and later from other states regarding similar inquiries under state antitrust laws. The CIDs request the Company to answer interrogatories, and produce documents, or both, related to the investigation of matters including film clearances, potential coordination and/or communication with other major theatre circuits and related joint ventures. The Company intends to fully cooperate with all federal and state government agencies. Although the Company does not believe that it has violated any federal or state antitrust or competition laws, it cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations. From time to time, the Company is involved in other various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, landlord-tenant disputes, patent claims and contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance or by indemnification from vendors. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to these types of proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenues. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as shown in the reconciliation table below, as the primary measure of segment profit and loss to evaluate performance and allocate its resources. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate Company performance or allocate resources between segments.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business	Business — Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) operates in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curaçao and Paraguay.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated while those affiliates of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for under the equity method. Those affiliates of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these equity method investees are included in the consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial institutions, petty cash held by the theatres and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash investments are primarily in money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper or other similar funds.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable, which are recorded at net realizable value, consist primarily of receivables related to screen advertising, screen rental, receivables related to discounted tickets and gift cards sold to third party retail locations, receivables from landlords related to theatre construction and remodels, rebates earned from the Company’s concession vendors and value-added and other non-income tax receivables.
Inventories	Inventories — Concession and theatre supplies inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Theatre Properties and Equipment	Theatre Properties and Equipment — Theatre properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Category Useful Life Buildings on owned land 40 years Buildings on leased land Lesser of lease term or useful life Land and buildings under capital and finance leases (1) Lesser of lease term or useful life Theatre furniture and equipment 3 to 15 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of lease term or useful life (1) The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company also performs a full quantitative impairment evaluation on an annual basis. The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, operating lease right-of-use asset carrying values, amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, the impact of recent theatre remodels or other substantial improvements, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its impairment assessment. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on a theatre basis, which the Company believes is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the theatre’s useful life correlates with the remaining lease period, which includes the probability of the exercise of available renewal periods or extensions, for leased properties and the lesser of twenty years or the building’s remaining useful life for owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When the estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group, the asset group is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2017, 2018 and 2019 . The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Note 10 for further discussion.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and we have allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. Management considers the reporting unit to be each of its twenty regions in the U.S. and seven of its international countries with Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala considered one reporting unit (the Company does not have goodwill recorded for all of its international locations). Under ASC Topic 350, (“ASC Topic 350”), the Company may perform a qualitative impairment assessment or a quantitative impairment assessment of our goodwill. A quantitative analysis requires the Company to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, goodwill would be written down such that the carrying value would equal estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during 2017, 2018 and 2019. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during 2018 and 2019. A qualitative assessment includes consideration of historical and expected future industry performance, estimated future performance of the Company, current industry trading multiples and other economic factors, and a review of current carrying values to estimated fair values as determined during our most recent quantitative assessment. The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for all reporting units during the year ended December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill assessment for three new domestic reporting units and a qualitative assessment for all other reporting units. For the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company performed a qualitative analysis for all reporting units. The Company did not record any goodwill impairment charges as a result of the assessments performed during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Under ASC Topic 350, the Company can elect to perform a qualitative or quantitative impairment assessment for our tradename intangible assets. A quantitative tradename impairment assessment includes comparing the carrying values of tradename assets to an estimated fair value. Fair values are estimated by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends. A qualitative assessment considers our historical and forecasted revenues and changes in estimated royalty rates, and a comparison of current carrying values to estimated fair values from our most recent quantitative assessment. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company performed a quantitative tradename impairment assessment for its tradename in Ecuador and performed a qualitative tradename impairment analysis for all other tradename intangible assets. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company performed a quantitative tradename impairment evaluation for all of its tradename assets. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company performed a qualitative tradename impairment analysis for all of its tradename assets. As a result of the analysis performed during each year, no impairment charges were recorded related to tradename intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The table below summarizes the Company’s intangible assets and the amortization method used for each type of intangible asset: Intangible Asset Amortization Method Goodwill Indefinite-lived Tradename Indefinite-lived and definite-lived. Definite-lived tradename assets have a remaining useful life of approximately one to six years. Vendor contracts Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying contracts. The remaining term of the underlying contract is one year. Favorable/unfavorable leases Based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are realized over the terms of the lease agreements. See Note 3 for discussion of the impact of ASC Topic 842 on the recording of favorable and unfavorable leases. Other intangible assets Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying agreement or the expected useful life of the intangible asset. The remaining useful lives of these intangible assets range from one to five years.
Lease Accounting	Lease Accounting — See Note 3 for discussion of the Company’s lease accounting policies as well as the impact of new lease accounting pronouncements.
Deferred Charges	Deferred Charges — Deferred charges and other assets consist of construction and other deposits, equipment to be placed in service, and other assets of a long-term nature.
Self-Insurance Reserves	Self-Insurance Reserves — In the U.S., the Company is self-insured for general liability claims subject to an annual cap. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, general liability claims were capped at $250, $250 and $500, respectively, per occurrence with aggregate annual caps of approximately $3,900, $4,750 and $6,000, respectively. For its international locations, the Company is fully insured for general liability claims with little or no deductibles per occurrence. During 2017, the Company implemented a fully-funded deductible workers compensation insurance plan under which the Company is responsible for pre-funding claims and is responsible for claims up to $250 per occurrence, with an annual cap of $5,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Company was also self-insured for domestic medical claims up to $250 per occurrence for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. As of December 31, 2018 and 2019, the Company’s insurance reserves were $10,827 and $11,577, respectively, and are reflected in accrued other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets
Revenue and Expense Recognition	Revenue and Expense Recognition — See Note 4 for discussion of revenue recognition and deferred revenues. Film rental costs are subject to the film licensing arrangement and accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either; 1) a sliding scale formula, which is generally established prior to the opening of the film, 2) firm terms or 3) estimates of the final settlement rate, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run. Under a sliding scale formula, we pay a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix that is based upon box office performance of the film for its full run. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either an aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when the initial box office performance of the film is known. If actual settlements are different than those estimates, film rental costs are adjusted at that time.
Accounting for Share Based Awards	Accounting for Share Based Awards — The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value is estimated using a market observed price. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). At the time of the grant, the Company also estimates the number of awards that will ultimately be forfeited. See Note 16 for discussion of the Company’s share based awards and related compensation expense.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes — The Company uses an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company should presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). The Company accrues interest and penalties on its uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
Segments	Segments — For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Company managed its business under two reportable operating segments, U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 20.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translations	Foreign Currency Translations — The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 14 for a summary of the translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Company recognizes foreign currency transaction gains and losses when changes in exchange rates impact transactions, other than intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, that have been denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements — According to authoritative guidance, inputs used in fair value measurements fall into three different categories; Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. See Note 13 for a discussion of our fair value measurements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019.
Acquisitions	Acquisitions — The Company accounts for acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income. For certain acquisitions, the Company obtains independent third party valuation studies for certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to assist the Company in determining fair value. The estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves a number of estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts realized. The Company provides assumptions, including both quantitative and qualitative information, about the specified asset or liability to the third party valuation firms. The Company primarily utilizes the third parties to accumulate comparative data from multiple sources and assemble a report that summarizes the information obtained. The Company then uses the information to record estimated fair value. The third party valuation firms are supervised by Company personnel who are knowledgeable about valuations and fair value. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of the assumptions and valuation methodologies utilized by the third party valuation firm.
