A lobby is the area in a movie theatre that's open outside of the individual movie viewing rooms. It typically contains the concession area and movie posters for upcoming releases.
The lobby may be before or after the ticket check. If it is after, sometimes entrance to the lobby is only allowed from a limited time, e.g. half an hour, before the movie starts.
It is quite common for the lobby to include an arcade game area.
