Frequently asked questions

What does cinema advertising cost in Birmingham?

A 4-week campaign in Birmingham typically runs $1,450 to $3,100, depending on how many screens you take and which placements you use.

Final cost depends on flight length and how your dates line up with the film release calendar, so every campaign is quoted individually. Request a quote for current pricing in this market.

How many people can a cinema campaign reach in Birmingham each month?

The Trussville 16 generates an estimated 32,000 moviegoer impressions per month across its 16 screens. These are in-auditorium impressions from an audience that paid for a ticket, sat down, and left their phone in their pocket. Attention scores for cinema run 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements.

What types of businesses advertise in Birmingham movie theaters?

Common advertisers include quick-service and full-service restaurants, automotive dealerships, healthcare providers, financial services, local retailers, and entertainment brands. Cinema has documented performance results: QSR brands have seen 2 to 3 times return on spend, and auto advertisers have recorded a 34% lift in dealership foot traffic.

Where exactly do the ads appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen inside the auditorium during the pre-show segment before the feature film. Placements can also include lobby screens and other in-venue positions, depending on the theater. The on-screen pre-show format puts your ad in front of a captive audience: dark room, full audio, nothing to skip.

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

Roughly 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, making them hard to reach through cable or broadcast. Cinema attention ratings run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and outperform both CTV and YouTube. For Birmingham advertisers, cinema also skews younger, with a median audience age of around 30, compared to most streaming or TV platforms.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at Birmingham movie theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted for cinema placements. These restrictions apply across the network regardless of market or theater. Advertisers in those categories should contact Alluvit Media to discuss alternative placements that fit their audience and goals.
