Premium In-Lobby Media Network Coming to 285 Movie Theatres Nationwide in a New Initiative from National CineMedia and Creative RealitiesApril 13, 2026 8:00 AM
Business Wire
National CineMedia (NASDAQ: NCMI) (“NCM”), the leading cinema advertising platform in the U.S. and a leading provider of digital signage, experiential solutions, and media network management, and Creative Realities, Inc. (NASDAQ: CREX) (“CRI”), a leading provider of digital media and AdTech solutions, today announced a new partnership to significantly expand and modernize AMC Theatres’ (NYSE: AMC) in-lobby media footprint across 285 locations nationwide.
This new initiative will turn the lobby at the participating theaters into a network of digital displays, including multiple 75-inch screens per location, that will deliver high-impact video, brand storytelling, and interactive experiences. These upgrades create a premium video platform that expands opportunities for advertisers to reach audiences both in the auditorium and throughout the entire theater location.
“Going to the movies is an experience – from the minute you walk in and smell the popcorn to settling into your seat to immerse yourself in a great story,” said John Calkins, EVP – Chief Corporate Development Officer, National CineMedia. “By partnering with AMC and Creative Realities, we are enhancing that experience across AMC’s premium footprint, while creating scalable new opportunities for advertisers to connect with moviegoers starting the moment they step into the lobby and continuing until they leave the cinema.”
The upgraded lobby network is expected to deliver a more dynamic pre-show atmosphere, helping advertisers reach captive, target audiences. The network also complements NCM’s existing on-screen cinema advertising capabilities, providing brands with a more comprehensive presence to reach AMC guests. This new lobby initiative will also enable AMC to showcase AMC and studio content, such as trailers for upcoming theatrical titles.
“We’re excited to join AMC and NCM in this groundbreaking undertaking,” added Rick Mills, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Creative Realities. “Working together, we will enhance the movie-going experience at hundreds of locations and provide meaningful benefits to the theaters and their operators. We look forward to this rollout and the way it will highlight our technology across the country later this year.”
Under the partnership, NCM will manage in-lobby video advertising with Creative Realities serving as the in-lobby equipment and service partner, supporting installation, operations, and ongoing network management across all participating locations.
Lobby upgrades are scheduled to begin this quarter, with all participating locations expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

Filed Nov. 13, 2024:
25% Year-over-Year Top Line Revenue Growth; 53% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $2.3 Million; On Track for Best Year Ever
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Creative Realities, Inc. (“Creative Realities,” “CRI,” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CREX), a leading provider of digital signage and media solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Highlights:
Record third quarter revenue of $14.4 million, up 25% from $11.6 million in the prior-year period
Gross profit of $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 versus $5.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, an increase of 25%
Net Income improved by $1.9 million during third quarter, to breakeven, as compared to third quarter prior year
Adjusted EBITDA* of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 versus $1.0 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 122%
Annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) of approximately $18.1 million at the end of the third quarter versus $18.0 million as of June 30, 2024
“Our financial results – including third quarter record revenue and profitable bottom-line performance – put us squarely on track for the Company’s best year in its history,” said Rick Mills, Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue rose 25% year-over-year, and Adjusted EBITDA climbed to $2.3 million, as we moved closer to achieving many of our goals for fiscal 2024. Our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue rose to 15.8% in the quarter and to 11.5% year-to-date, bringing our trailing twelve-months Adjusted EBITDA to $7.4 million, or 13.6% of trailing twelve-month revenue. This Adjusted EBITDA is ahead of our prior projection of a 2024 exit run-rate of approximately 12% on revenue of $60 million. While the Company’s active business development pipeline positions us positively for 2025 and beyond, we project a shortfall in revenue against our prior projections for the 2024 fourth quarter and the fiscal year as material opportunities have taken longer to finalize, contract, and deploy, thus pushing these projected revenues into 2025. We are confident that 2024 will represent record revenue and profitability under any scenario and remain excited about the future and committed to accelerating growth, expanding margins, optimizing our capital structure and, as always, increasing returns for our shareholders.”

Excerpts from the Transcript: Brian Kinstlinger asks, "Assuming it's unchanged, can you remind us your revenue guidance? And then talk about any insights to seasonality or things management knows about timing of deliveries over the next two quarters, so how we could think about maybe you're thinking about the ramp?"
CEO Rick Mills answers, "Yes, Brian, I would tell you, as we have stated previously, we believe on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we're going to exceed the prior year 20% to 40% every quarter. We expect to continue that throughout the year. So, very comfortable with that."
Later Rick Mills talks about stadiums, "...We've been in this market for several years now with a real enhanced presence. And so we, again, are being introduced at the highest levels. So, we're really dealing with now the larger tier stadiums. We were dealing with the 10,000-seat arenas and then we moved into 15,000, now we're in the full 20,000, 25,000 and up stadiums. So, we've climbed up the food chain in the stadium world, okay. Number two, around the monetization of that, whenever we typically take over or win a stadium it typically comes with all of the food screens. Typical stadium will have about 600 food screens. Again, think of it as 10 different food concepts and about between 400 and 600 food screens. So, we always start there.
We do expect the balance of the screens over the next two to five years to migrate to an OpEx model and come on to some of our different SaaS platforms. So, that's why we're investing heavily in this market because we think two to five years from now, there's tens of thousands of screens that will migrate to SaaS platforms."
And several minutes later Rick Mills says, "I'm just going to add one more thing. When we go into the stadium and arena our competition talk about menu boards. They put screens up and put pictures of hot dogs. We sit down with them and we go through an in-depth screen analysis and in a much more complex level than our competitors do, and it resonates because they see true lift in their stadium food operations brought on -- brought about by the expertise of the CRI team being involved. So, I think it's a combination of all of those."
