Screenvision was a joint venture between ITV plc (LSE: ITV), the UK’s leading free to air commercial television broadcaster with divisions operating television and cinema advertising sales, and one of Europe’s largest commercial television production businesses, as well as a major distribution business exploiting an extensive film and program library; and Technicolor SA, the world’s leading provider of technology, services, and systems and equipment to the media and entertainment industries. On 28 September 2010, ITV plc sold their stake to Shamrock Capital Growth Fund II, in a deal worth a reported $80m.^[1] Later on, Carmike Cinemas acquired 20% of Screenvision; today, that 20% stake is owned by AMC Entertainment. AMC's acquisition of Carmike Cinemas resulted in the transfer of 384 AMC Theatre screens into the Screenvision Media exhibitor network. ^[2]

The company also distributed Hasbro's Equestria Girls and Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks, films that serve as a spin off to the award winning family animation series Friendship is Magic to over 300 theaters across the United States.

At their 2016 upfront event in New York City, Screenvision Media unveiled the Connected Cinema brand "storytelling platform", which, through several tech alliances, will allow advertisers to "engage with" moviegoers before, during and after the movie. ^[5]

Merger

In May 2014, Screenvision entered into a merger agreement with National CineMedia (NCM) for US$375 million.^[6] 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.^[7] In March 2015, Screenvision and NCM terminated their deal and NCM paid Screenvision a $26.8 million termination payment.^[8]
