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.

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.

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.

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.
