First Look
First Look is the branding given to NCM's pre-feature programming. First Look consists of pre-show advertising and entertainment,[1] provided by content partners such as A&E Television Networks, NBC Universal, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Turner Broadcasting System, Walt Disney Motion Pictures and Warner Bros. interspersed with advertising. The program is approximately 20 minutes long, and is timed to end approximately at the movie's start time. It is delivered via satellite, and several different versions are provided depending on the movie's MPAA rating.
If a 3D movie is showing, a special "First Look 3D" is shown after the original version. This consists of 3D advertisements.
If a G or PG movie is showing, a children's version of FirstLook, named "FirstLook Play", is played in lieu of the original version. This usually is for movies directed at children with those ratings.
