Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to run an ad campaign at Astoria Gateway Cinema?

A 4-week cinema advertising campaign in Astoria runs between $898 and $1,797. The final cost depends on your chosen format, screen count, and placement position within the pre-show. With one theater and 7 screens in the market, pricing is straightforward and budgets stay manageable for local and regional advertisers.

How many people will actually see my ad in Astoria?

Astoria Gateway Cinema generates an estimated 16,800 monthly moviegoer impressions. Over a standard 4-week campaign, your ad plays across multiple daily screenings on up to 7 screens. Cinema audiences are seated, present, and off their phones. That makes each impression considerably more attentive than a comparable digital or streaming placement.

What kinds of businesses advertise in movie theaters?

Common advertisers include restaurants, auto dealerships, healthcare providers, real estate agencies, financial services, and local retailers. Auto advertisers have seen a 34 percent lift in foot traffic from cinema campaigns. Retail advertisers have recorded 53 percent incremental visit increases. National brands and single-location businesses both run here successfully.

Where exactly does my ad appear inside the theater?

Ads run as part of the pre-show sequence on the main screen, directly before the feature film begins. This puts your creative in front of a seated audience on a large-format screen with full sound. Some packages also include lobby digital screens or other in-theater placements, depending on availability at Astoria Gateway Cinema.

How does cinema advertising compare to local TV or streaming in this market?

Cinema attention ratings run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports broadcasts and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital media. In Astoria, 60 percent of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so traditional TV misses them entirely. Cinema reaches that audience in a format they cannot skip, mute, or scroll past.

Are there any restrictions on what industries can advertise at the cinema?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not permitted in cinema pre-show inventory. These restrictions apply regardless of local regulations. Most consumer-facing businesses, professional services, healthcare, and entertainment brands qualify without issue. If you are unsure whether your category is eligible, confirm it before building creative.
