Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Astoria, NY cost?

A 4-week campaign at Kaufman Astoria Stadium 14 runs between $3,472 and $6,944. Astoria falls within the Tier 1 New York market, where CPMs range from $70 to $85. Your final cost depends on ad format, screen count, and placement within the pre-show program. There is only one theater in this city, so the citywide and single-theater rates are the same.

What types of businesses advertise in Astoria movie theaters?

Common advertisers include local restaurants, retailers, healthcare providers, real estate agencies, financial services brands, and regional chains. Cinema advertising works well for businesses trying to reach a young, local audience that cable TV largely misses. Auto dealers and QSR brands have documented strong results: auto advertisers saw a 34% foot traffic increase, while QSR brands recorded 2 to 3 times the typical spend.

Where exactly do the ads appear inside the theater?

Ads run in the pre-show program on screen before the feature film begins. Placements can also include lobby screens, concession area displays, and other in-venue formats. The on-screen pre-show spot is the core placement, delivered to a seated audience in a darkened room with no way to scroll past or mute the ad.

How does cinema advertising compare to streaming or digital for reaching Astoria audiences?

Cinema delivers 6 to 16 times higher attention rates than social and digital, and outperforms CTV and YouTube. In Astoria, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, meaning streaming pre-roll and cable buys miss a large portion of this audience entirely. Cinema is one of the few ad formats where viewers cannot skip, scroll, or leave the room.

How long does a campaign need to run?

The standard campaign window is 4 weeks, matching typical film cycles and giving your creative enough exposure to build recall. Campaigns can run longer for brands that want sustained presence. Shorter flights are possible in some cases, but 4 weeks is the baseline used to calculate the $3,472 to $6,944 pricing range for Astoria.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in Astoria theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted through this network. These restrictions apply regardless of local laws or campaign timing. If your business operates in one of these categories, cinema advertising at Kaufman Astoria Stadium 14 is not available to you. All other legal product and service categories are generally eligible.
