Merger

In May 2014, Screenvision entered into a merger agreement with National CineMedia (NCM) for US$375 million.[1] The merger was blocked by the Department of Justice over anti-trust concerns, since Screenvision and NCM together would supply advertising to 34,000 of the nation's 39,000 movie theaters.[2] In March 2015, Screenvision and NCM terminated their deal and NCM paid Screenvision a $26.8 million termination payment.[3]
