Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
The Company | THE COMPANY Description of Business National CineMedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NCM, Inc.”), is a holding company with the sole purpose of becoming a member and sole manager of National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company. NCM LLC is currently owned by NCM, Inc., Regal Cinemas, Inc. and Regal CineMedia Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of Cineworld Group plc and Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), Cinemark Media, Inc. and Cinemark USA, Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (“Cinemark”), and American Multi-Cinema, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMC”). The terms “NCM”, “the Company” or “we” shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include the consolidated entity. AMC, Regal, Cinemark and their affiliates are referred to in this document as “founding members”. The Company operates the largest cinema advertising network reaching movie audiences in the U.S. and sells advertising under long-term exhibitor service agreements (“ESAs”) with the founding members and with certain third-party network affiliates, under long-term network affiliate agreements. As previously disclosed, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the world and the Company’s business as the United States’ government and other state and local governments issued restrictions on travel, public gatherings and other events and issued social distancing guidelines. These and subsequent developments are referred to as the “COVID-19 Pandemic.” All of the theaters within the Company’s network are open and the release of major motion pictures has resumed since the third quarter of 2021 resulting in the highest theater attendance since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Despite the increase in network attendance, in-theater advertising revenue for the year ended December 30, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 remained below historical levels due to the lag between the recovery of attendees and advertisers. On September 17, 2019, NCM LLC entered into amendments to the ESAs with Cinemark and Regal (collectively, the “2019 ESA Amendments”). The 2019 ESA Amendments extended the contract life of the ESAs with Cinemark and Regal by four years resulting in a weighted average remaining term of the ESAs with the founding members (weighted based upon pre-COVID-19 attendance levels) of approximately 17.2 years as of June 30, 2022. The network affiliate agreements expire at various dates between August 2022 and December 2037. The weighted average remaining term of the ESAs and the network affiliate agreements together is 15.0 years as of June 30, 2022 (weighted based upon pre-COVID-19 attendance levels). As of June 30, 2022, NCM LLC had 171,821,666 common membership units outstanding, of which 81,492,426 (47.4%) were owned by NCM, Inc., 40,683,797 (23.7%) were owned by Regal, 43,690,797 (25.4%) were owned by Cinemark and 5,954,646 (3.5%) were owned by AMC. The membership units held by the founding members are exchangeable into NCM, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis. Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes of NCM, Inc. in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in an annual report have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly report. The balance sheet as of December 30, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements of NCM, Inc. Therefore, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. Historically, the Company’s business has been seasonal and for this and other reasons operating results for interim periods have not been indicative of the Company’s full year results or future performance. As a result of the various related party agreements discussed in Note 5— Related Party Transactions , the operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred if all agreements were with non-related third parties. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment of advertising. Estimates —The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, share-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from estimates. Going Concern —The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has borrowings under two Revolving Credit Facilities with $217.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2022, that mature on June 20, 2023 (see Note 6). The Company does not have available liquidity to repay the full outstanding balance on the date of maturity. Under the Credit Agreement, failure to repay borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities at maturity would result in an event of default for the term loans, which would allow a majority of the lenders under the Credit Agreement to accelerate the maturity of the principal amounts of outstanding term loans to become due and payable. It would also result in an event of default for the senior notes, which would allow the indenture trustee or senior note holders of each tranche of senior notes to accelerate the maturity to become due and payable. The Company does not have available liquidity to repay any accelerated principal of term loans or tranches of the outstanding senior notes upon an event of default within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Additionally, the Company does not expect to meet its financial covenants within one year following the date that these financial statements are issued. If these financial covenants are not met a majority of the lenders of the Senior Secured Credit Facility are permitted under the Credit Agreement to accelerate the debt which would also result in an event of default for the senior notes. In this event, the Company would not be able to repay the Company’s total outstanding debt balance. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, management’s plans include amending NCM LLC’s Revolving Credit Facilities to extend the maturity dates, amending its Senior Secured Credit Facility to extend a waiver of these financial covenants, or obtaining additional debt financing through a loan from third parties, and/or NCM, Inc. Management expects to conclude one of these alternatives; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing any of these options. As a result, management’s plan cannot be considered probable and thus does not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s annual financial statements included in its Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2021 contain a complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Following is additional information related to the Company’s accounting policies. Revenue Recognition —The Company derives revenue principally from the advertising business, which includes advertising through its on-screen cinema network, lobby network (LEN) and lobby promotions in theaters, and on websites, mobile applications and out-of-home locations owned by NCM LLC and other companies. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits provided by NCM LLC’s advertising services and the Company has the right to payment for performance to date. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. The Company has changed the classification of the make good provision, retrospectively, to now be included within “Deferred Revenue” on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet rather than “Accrued Expenses” as of June 30, 2022. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers —The risk of credit loss related to the Company's trade receivables and unbilled receivables balances is accounted for through the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account which reduces the net receivables balance. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is determined by pooling the Company's receivables with similar risk characteristics, specifically by type of customer (national or local/ regional) and then age of receivable and applying historical write off percentages to these pools in order to determine the amount of expected credit losses as of the balance sheet date. National receivables are with large advertising agencies with strong reputations in the advertising industry and clients with stable financial positions and good credit ratings, represent larger receivables balances per customer and have significantly lower historical and expected credit loss patterns. Local and regional receivables are with smaller companies sometimes with less credit history, represent smaller receivable balances per customer and have higher historical and expected credit loss patterns. The Company has smaller contracts with many local clients that are not individually significant. The Company also considers current economic conditions and trends to determine whether adjustments to historical loss rates are necessary. The Company also reserves for specific receivable balances that it expects to write off based on known concerns regarding the financial health of the customer. Receivables are written off when management determines amounts are uncollectible. The Company had no agencies through which it sourced advertising revenue that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s gross outstanding receivable balance as of June 30, 2022. The Company had one agency through which it sourced advertising revenue that accounted for 15.7% of the Company's gross outstanding receivable balance as of December 30, 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had one customer that accounted for more than 14.8% and 15.3% of the Company’s revenue, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2021, the Company had one customer that accounted for 14.1% and 11.3% of the Company's revenue, respectively. Long-lived Assets —The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets pursuant to ASC 360 – Property, Plant and Equipment . This includes determining whether certain triggering events have occurred that could affect the value of an asset. The Company recorded losses of $0.0 million, $0.0 million, $5.8 million and $0.0 million related to the write-off of certain internally developed software during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, respectively. Share-Based Compensation —The Company has issued stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units to certain employees and its independent directors. The restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants for Company management vest upon the achievement of Company performance measures and/or service conditions, while non-management grants vest only upon the achievement of service conditions. Compensation expense of restricted stock and restricted stock units that vest upon the achievement of Company performance measures is based on management’s financial projections and the probability of achieving the projections, which require considerable judgment. A cumulative adjustment is recorded to share-based compensation expense in periods that management changes its estimate of the number of shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units expected to vest. Ultimately, the Company adjusts the expense recognized to reflect the actual vested shares following the resolution of the performance conditions. Dividends are accrued when declared on unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units that are expected to vest and are only paid with respect to shares that actually vest. On January 19, 2022, March 2, 2021 and February 28, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved certain modifications to equity awards awarded under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to adjust performance metrics, vesting amount and future performance goals in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic resulting in incremental share-based compensation expense of $0.1 million, $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, 89,375, 281,810, 925,128 and 1,125,539 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested, respectively. Consolidation —NCM, Inc. consolidates the accounts of NCM LLC under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation . The following table presents the changes in NCM, Inc.’s equity resulting from net income attributable to NCM, Inc. and transfers to or from noncontrolling interests (in millions): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 July 1, 2021 June 30, 2022 July 1, 2021 Net loss attributable to NCM, Inc. $ (0.7) $ (22.7) $ (25.9) $ (42.1) NCM LLC equity issued for purchase of intangible asset — — 4.9 6.8 Income tax and other impacts of subsidiary ownership changes — 0.2 (1.7) 0.9 NCM LLC common membership unit redemption — — — (6.6) Issuance of shares to founding members — — — 6.6 Change from net loss income attributable to NCM, Inc. and $ (0.7) $ (22.5) $ (22.7) $ (34.4) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes the following exceptions for the Company to analyze in a given period: the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; the exception to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and the exception in interim periods income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. This guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company concluded the LIBOR transition did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue principally from the sale of advertising to national, regional and local businesses in the Noovie® pre-show, the Company’s cinema advertising and entertainment pre-show. The Company also sells advertising through the LEN, a series of strategically placed screens located in movie theater lobbies, as well as other forms of advertising and promotions in theater lobbies. In addition, the Company sells online and mobile advertising, including through Noovie Audience Accelerator , through NCM's digital gaming products including Noovie Trivia, Noovie ARcade , Name That Movie and Noovie Shuffle , which can be played on the mobile apps and through partnerships with certain internet platforms . Further the Company sells advertising in a variety of complementary out of home venues, including restaurants, convenience stores and college campuses. The Company also has a long-term agreement to exhibit the advertising of the founding members’ beverage suppliers. The Company makes contractual guarantees to deliver a specified number of impressions to view the customers’ advertising. If the contracted number of impressions are not delivered, the Company will run additional advertising to deliver the contracted impressions at a later date. The deferred portion of the revenue associated with undelivered impressions is referred to as a make-good provision. The Company defers the revenue associated with the make-good until the advertising airs to the audience specified in the advertising contract or the make-good period expires. The make-good provision is recorded within deferred revenue in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company does not have any contracts with customers with terms in excess of one year that are noncancellable as of June 30, 2022. Agreements with a duration less than one year are not included within this disclosure as the Company elected to use the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 for those contracts. In addition, the Company’s other contracts longer than one year that are cancellable are not included within this disclosure. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue based upon the type of customer: national, local and regional and beverage concessionaire. This method of disaggregation is in alignment with how revenue is reviewed by management and discussed with, and historically disclosed to investors. The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 (in millions): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 July 1, 2021 June 30, 2022 July 1, 2021 National advertising revenue $ 50.7 $ 8.6 $ 77.0 $ 11.8 Local and regional advertising revenue 10.5 3.3 16.6 5.0 Founding member advertising revenue from beverage 5.9 2.1 9.4 2.6 Total revenue $ 67.1 $ 14.0 $ 103.0 $ 19.4 Deferred Revenue and Unbilled Accounts Receivable Revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2022 that was included within the Deferred Revenue balance as of December 30, 2021 was $8.3 million. As of June 30, 2022 and December 30, 2021, the Company had $8.0 million and $4.4 million in unbilled accounts receivable, respectively. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |

NCM LLC common units do not participate in dividends paid on NCM, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, there were 6,442,164, 4,376,000, 6,442,164 and 4,376,000 stock options and non-vested (restricted) shares for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, respectively, excluded from the calculation as they were anti-dilutive. The Company’s non-vested (restricted) shares do not meet the definition of a participating security as the dividends will not be paid if the shares do not vest. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Intangible Assets | INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets consist of contractual rights to provide the Company’s services within the theaters of the founding members and network affiliates and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The Company’s intangible assets with its founding members are recorded at the fair market value of NCM, Inc.’s publicly traded stock as of the date on which the common membership units were issued. The NCM LLC common membership units are fully convertible into NCM, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, the Company records intangible assets for up-front fees paid to network affiliates upon commencement of a network affiliate agreement. The Company’s intangible assets have a finite useful life and the Company amortizes the assets over the remaining useful life corresponding with the ESAs or the term of the network affiliate agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company determined that recent adverse changes in macroeconomic trends, reduced cash flows as a consequence of the temporary, and sometimes permanent, closure of the theaters within the Company's network in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, a decline in the fair value of NCM LLC’s debt and the further sustained decline in the market price of NCM, Inc.'s common stock constituted a triggering event for certain of its intangible assets under Accounting Standards Certification No. 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Management considered possible scenarios in a probability-weighted estimated future undiscounted cash flow analysis, including the potential of further delays in major motion picture releases, a delay in audience return to the theaters and other potential adverse impacts to certain of NCM LLC's founding members' and affiliates' financial liquidity related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The estimated future cash flows from the ESAs calculated within the probability-weighted analyses were in excess of the net book value of these intangible assets and no impairment charges were recorded in the year ended December 30, 2021. Such analysis required management to make estimates and assumptions based on historical data and consideration of future market conditions. Given the uncertainty inherent in any projection, heightened by the possibility of unforeseen additional effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including potential adverse impacts to NCM LLC's founding members' and affiliates' financial liquidity, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used, or conditions may change, which could result in impairment charges in the future. Common Unit Adjustments —In accordance with NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement with its founding members, on an annual basis NCM LLC determines the amount of common membership units to be issued to or returned by the founding members based on theater additions, new builds or dispositions during the previous year. In the event a founding member does not have sufficient common membership units to return, the adjustment is satisfied in cash in an amount calculated pursuant to NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. In addition, NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement requires that a Common Unit Adjustment occur for a specific founding member if its acquisition or disposition of theaters, in a single transaction or cumulatively since the most recent Common Unit Adjustment, results in an attendance increase or decrease in excess of two percent of the annual total attendance at the prior adjustment date. During the first quarter of 2022, NCM LLC issued 4,140,896 (6,483,893 issued, net of 2,342,997 returned) common membership units to its founding members for the rights to exclusive access to the theater screens and attendees added, net of dispositions, to NCM LLC’s network during the 2021 fiscal year. The net impact as a result of the Common Unit Adjustment to the intangible asset was $10.4 million during the first quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2021, NCM LLC issued 3,047,582 common membership units to two founding members for the rights to exclusive access to the theater screens and attendees added, net of dispositions, to NCM LLC’s network during the 2020 fiscal year and calculated a negative common membership unit adjustment for one founding member resulting in a receivable included within “Other assets and prepaid expenses” on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. The net impact as a result of the Common Unit Adjustment to the intangible asset was $4.8 million during the first quarter of 2021. Integration Payments and Other Encumbered Theater Payments —If an existing on-screen advertising agreement with an alternative provider is in place with respect to any acquired theaters (“encumbered theaters”), the founding members may elect to receive common membership units related to those encumbered theaters in connection with the Common Unit Adjustment. If the founding members make this election, then they are required to make payments on a quarterly basis in arrears in accordance with certain run-out provisions pursuant to the ESAs (“integration payments”). Because the Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (“Carmike”) theaters acquired by AMC are subject to an existing on-screen advertising agreement with an alternative provider, AMC makes integration payments to NCM LLC. The integration payments will continue until the earlier of (i) the date the theaters are transferred to NCM LLC’s network or (ii) the expiration of the ESA. Integration payments are calculated based upon the advertising cash flow that the Company would have generated if it had exclusive access to sell advertising in the theaters with pre-existing advertising agreements. The ESAs additionally entitle NCM LLC to payments related to the founding members’ on-screen advertising commitments under their beverage concessionaire agreements for encumbered theaters. These payments are also accounted for as a reduction to the intangible assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, the Company recorded a reduction to net intangible assets of $1.1 million, $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to other encumbered theater payments. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, AMC and Cinemark paid a total of $0.3 million, $0.1 million, $1.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in integration and other encumbered theater payments (as payments are made one quarter and one month in arrears, respectively). If common membership units are issued to a founding member for newly acquired theaters that are subject to an existing on-screen advertising agreement with an alternative provider, the amortization of the intangible asset commences after the existing agreement expires and NCM LLC can utilize the theaters for all of its services. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Actions —The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes such claims will not have a material adverse effect individually or in the aggregate on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Operating Commitments - Facilities —The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its corporate headquarters and other regional offices. The Company has right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $17.8 million and short-term and long-term lease liabilities of $2.2 million and $19.3 million, respectively, on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 for all material leases with terms longer than twelve months. These balances are included within “Other assets”, “Other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities”, respectively, on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.1 years on these leases. When measuring the ROU assets and lease liabilities recorded, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate in order to determine the present value of the lease payments as the leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company used the rate of interest that it would have paid to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s weighted average annual discount rate used to establish the ROU assets and lease liabilities was 7.4%. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, the Company recognized the following components of total lease cost (in millions). These costs are presented within “Selling and marketing costs” and “Administrative and other costs” within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income depending upon the nature of the use of the facility. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 July 1, 2021 June 30, 2022 July 1, 2021 Operating lease cost $ 0.9 $ 0.9 $ 1.7 $ 1.8 Variable lease cost 0.1 0.1 0.3 0.2 Total lease cost $ 1.0 $ 1.0 $ 2.0 $ 2.0 The Company made total lease payments of $1.0 million, $1.1 million, $1.9 million and $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, respectively. These payments are included within cash flows from operating activities within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Operating Commitments - ESAs and Affiliate Agreements —The Company has entered into long-term ESAs with the founding members and multi-year agreements with certain network affiliates, or third-party theater circuits. The ESAs and network affiliate agreements grant NCM LLC exclusive rights in their theaters to sell advertising, subject to limited exceptions. The Company recognizes intangible assets upon issuance of membership units to the founding members in accordance with NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement and upfront cash payments to the affiliates for the contractual rights to provide the Company’s services within their theaters as further discussed within Note 4 - Intangible Assets . These ESAs and network affiliate agreements are considered leases under ASC 842 once the asset is identified and the period of control is determined upon the scheduling of the showtimes by the exhibitors, typically one week prior to the showtime. As such, the leases are considered short-term in nature, specifically less than one month. Within ASC 842, leases with terms of less than one month are exempt from the majority of the accounting and disclosure requirements, including disclosure of short-term lease expense. No ROU assets or lease liabilities were recognized for these agreements and no change to the balance sheet presentation of the intangible assets was necessary. However, the amortization of these intangible assets is considered lease expense and is presented within “Amortization of intangibles recorded for network theater screen leases” within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. In consideration for NCM LLC’s access to the founding members’ theater attendees for on-screen advertising and use of lobbies and other space within the founding members’ theaters for the LEN and lobby promotions, the founding members receive a monthly theater access fee under the ESAs. The theater access fee is composed of a fixed payment per patron, a fixed payment per digital screen (connected to the DCN) and a fee for access to higher quality digital cinema equipment. The payment per theater patron increases by 8% every five years. The payment per theater patron increased in 2022 and will again in fiscal year 2027, and the payment per digital screen and for digital cinema equipment increases annually by 5%. The theater access fee paid in the aggregate to all founding members cannot be less than 12% of NCM LLC’s aggregate advertising revenue (as defined in the ESA), or it will be adjusted upward to reach this minimum payment. As of June 30, 2022 and December 30, 2021, the Company had no liabilities recorded for the minimum payment, as the theater access fee was in excess of the minimum. Following the 2019 ESA Amendments, Cinemark and Regal receive an additional monthly theater access fee that began on November 1, 2019 in consideration for NCM LLC's access to certain on-screen advertising inventory after the advertised showtime of a feature film. These fees are also based upon a fixed payment per patron: (i) $0.0375 per patron beginning on November 1, 2020, (ii) $0.05 per patron beginning on November 1, 2021, (iii) $0.052 per patron beginning on November 1, 2022 and (iv) increase 8% every five years beginning November 1, 2027. Additionally, following the 2019 ESA Amendments, beginning on November 1, 2019, NCM LLC is entitled to display the Platinum Spot, an additional single unit that is either 30 or 60 seconds of the Noovie® pre-show in the trailer position directly prior to the “attached” trailers preceding the feature film. The “attached” trailers are those provided by studios to Cinemark and Regal that are with the feature film, which is at least one trailer, but sometimes two or more trailers. In consideration for the utilization of the theaters for the Platinum Spots, Cinemark and Regal are entitled to receive a percentage of all revenue generated for the actual display of Platinum Spots in their applicable theaters, subject to a specified minimum. If NCM LLC runs advertising in more than one concurrent advertisers’ Platinum Spot for any portion of the network over a period of time, then NCM LLC will be required to satisfy a minimum average CPM for that period of time. The Company did not owe the founding members any theater access fees or any Platinum Spot revenue share when the theaters were not displaying the Company's pre-show or when the Company did not have access to the theaters. As such, the Company did not owe these fees for the period of time the founding members' theaters were temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and future fees will be reduced if attendance remains lower than historical levels. The digital screen fee is calculated based upon average screens in use during each month. The network affiliates compensation is considered variable lease expense and varies by circuit depending upon the agreed upon terms of the network affiliate agreement. The majority of agreements are centered around a revenue share where an agreed upon percentage of the advertising revenue received from a theater’s attendance is paid to the circuit. As part of the network affiliate agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business under which the Company sells advertising for display in various network affiliate theater chains, the Company has agreed to certain minimum revenue guarantees on a per attendee basis. If a network affiliate achieves the attendance set forth in their respective agreement, the Company has guaranteed minimum revenue for the network affiliate per attendee if such amount paid under the revenue share arrangement is less than its guaranteed amount. As of June 30, 2022, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make pursuant to the minimum revenue guarantees is $113.2 million over the remaining terms of the network affiliate agreements. These minimum guarantees relate to various affiliate agreements ranging in term from three years to twenty years, prior to any renewal periods of which some are at the option of the Company. The Company accrued $0.5 million and $0.4 million related to affiliate agreements with guaranteed minimums in excess of the revenue share agreement as of June 30, 2022 and December 30, 2021, respectively. As the guaranteed minimums are based upon agreed upon minimum attendance or affiliate revenue levels, the Company will not incur minimum revenue share fees during a period of time the minimum theater attendance or revenue levels are not met by the affiliate. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes of NCM, Inc. in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in an annual report have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly report. The balance sheet as of December 30, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements of NCM, Inc. Therefore, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. Historically, the Company’s business has been seasonal and for this and other reasons operating results for interim periods have not been indicative of the Company’s full year results or future performance. As a result of the various related party agreements discussed in Note 5— Related Party Transactions , the operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred if all agreements were with non-related third parties. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment of advertising. | |
Estimates | Estimates —The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, share-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from estimates. Going Concern —The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has borrowings under two Revolving Credit Facilities with $217.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2022, that mature on June 20, 2023 (see Note 6). The Company does not have available liquidity to repay the full outstanding balance on the date of maturity. Under the Credit Agreement, failure to repay borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities at maturity would result in an event of default for the term loans, which would allow a majority of the lenders under the Credit Agreement to accelerate the maturity of the principal amounts of outstanding term loans to become due and payable. It would also result in an event of default for the senior notes, which would allow the indenture trustee or senior note holders of each tranche of senior notes to accelerate the maturity to become due and payable. The Company does not have available liquidity to repay any accelerated principal of term loans or tranches of the outstanding senior notes upon an event of default within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Additionally, the Company does not expect to meet its financial covenants within one year following the date that these financial statements are issued. If these financial covenants are not met a majority of the lenders of the Senior Secured Credit Facility are permitted under the Credit Agreement to accelerate the debt which would also result in an event of default for the senior notes. In this event, the Company would not be able to repay the Company’s total outstanding debt balance. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, management’s plans include amending NCM LLC’s Revolving Credit Facilities to extend the maturity dates, amending its Senior Secured Credit Facility to extend a waiver of these financial covenants, or obtaining additional debt financing through a loan from third parties, and/or NCM, Inc. Management expects to conclude one of these alternatives; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing any of these options. As a result, management’s plan cannot be considered probable and thus does not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition —The Company derives revenue principally from the advertising business, which includes advertising through its on-screen cinema network, lobby network (LEN) and lobby promotions in theaters, and on websites, mobile applications and out-of-home locations owned by NCM LLC and other companies. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits provided by NCM LLC’s advertising services and the Company has the right to payment for performance to date. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. The Company has changed the classification of the make good provision, retrospectively, to now be included within “Deferred Revenue” on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet rather than “Accrued Expenses” as of June 30, 2022. | |
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers | Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers —The risk of credit loss related to the Company's trade receivables and unbilled receivables balances is accounted for through the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account which reduces the net receivables balance. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is determined by pooling the Company's receivables with similar risk characteristics, specifically by type of customer (national or local/ regional) and then age of receivable and applying historical write off percentages to these pools in order to determine the amount of expected credit losses as of the balance sheet date. National receivables are with large advertising agencies with strong reputations in the advertising industry and clients with stable financial positions and good credit ratings, represent larger receivables balances per customer and have significantly lower historical and expected credit loss patterns. Local and regional receivables are with smaller companies sometimes with less credit history, represent smaller receivable balances per customer and have higher historical and expected credit loss patterns. The Company has smaller contracts with many local clients that are not individually significant. The Company also considers current economic conditions and trends to determine whether adjustments to historical loss rates are necessary. The Company also reserves for specific receivable balances that it expects to write off based on known concerns regarding the financial health of the customer. Receivables are written off when management determines amounts are uncollectible. The Company had no agencies through which it sourced advertising revenue that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s gross outstanding receivable balance as of June 30, 2022. The Company had one agency through which it sourced advertising revenue that accounted for 15.7% of the Company's gross outstanding receivable balance as of December 30, 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had one customer that accounted for more than 14.8% and 15.3% of the Company’s revenue, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2021, the Company had one customer that accounted for | |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation—The Company has issued stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units to certain employees and its independent directors. The restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants for Company management vest upon the achievement of Company performance measures and/or service conditions, while non-management grants vest only upon the achievement of service conditions. Compensation expense of restricted stock and restricted stock units that vest upon the achievement of Company performance measures is based on management’s financial projections and the probability of achieving the projections, which require considerable judgment. A cumulative adjustment is recorded to share-based compensation expense in periods that management changes its estimate of the number of shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units expected to vest. Ultimately, the Company adjusts the expense recognized to reflect the actual vested shares following the resolution of the performance conditions. Dividends are accrued when declared on unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units that are expected to vest and are only paid with respect to shares that actually vest. On January 19, 2022, March 2, 2021 and February 28, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved certain modifications to equity awards awarded under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to adjust performance metrics, vesting amount and future performance goals in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic resulting in incremental share-based compensation expense of $0.1 million, $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, 89,375, 281,810, 925,128 and 1,125,539 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested, respectively. | |

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes the following exceptions for the Company to analyze in a given period: the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; the exception to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and the exception in interim periods income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto. | |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. This guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company concluded the LIBOR transition did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto. |

The inputs in the valuation are classified as Level 1 if there is an active market for these securities; however, if an active market does not exist, the inputs are recorded at a lower level in the fair value hierarchy. The value of commercial paper and certificates of deposit is derived from pricing models using inputs based upon market information, including contractual terms, market prices and yield curves. The inputs to the valuation pricing models are observable in the market, and as such are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2022 and December 30, 2021, there were $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions without an allowance for credit losses.
