4-Week Impressions (est.)

Methuen, MA is part of the Boston (Manchester) Tier 1 market, giving advertisers access to a concentrated local audience through the Methuen 20, the city's single multiplex with 20 screens. That footprint generates an estimated 64,000 monthly moviegoer impressions, all captured in a high-attention, full-screen environment before the film begins.

Cinema advertising in Methuen reaches an audience that skews younger than most traditional media channels, with a median moviegoer age of 30. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers have cut cable or never subscribed, making the theater one of the few places where you can reliably reach people who are actively avoiding conventional ad channels. For local businesses targeting Methuen and the surrounding Merrimack Valley, it's a direct, measurable way to put your message in front of an audience that isn't looking at a phone or flipping past a commercial.
