Ads run on screen before the feature film begins, during the pre-show segment when audiences are settled and watching. Lobby placements, including digital displays and printed materials, can supplement on-screen buys. The on-screen format commands attention ratings 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital platforms, and 2 to 6 times higher than live sports broadcasts.

Cinema audiences skew younger than most local markets, with a national median age of 30. About 60% are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, which makes them hard to reach through traditional TV.

In a market like Hagerstown, where the median age is 36.4, cinema reaches a segment that other local media often miss.

The standard entry point is a 4-week campaign, which aligns with typical film cycles and gives your creative enough exposure to build frequency among Hagerstown moviegoers.
