A 4-week campaign at Cinemark Carson and XD runs between $2,690 and $5,381, based on the Tier 1 Los Angeles market CPM of $70 to $85. Carson has one theater with 13 screens, so your budget determines how many screens you're on and how often your ad runs, not which location to pick.
Auto dealerships, restaurants, healthcare providers, financial services firms, and local retailers are common advertisers in this format. With a median household income of $107,391, Carson attracts advertisers selling considered purchases, from cars to financial products. National brands and regional businesses alike use cinema to reach consumers in a defined geographic area.
Ads run on screen before the feature film, during the pre-show segment. The placement captures a seated audience in a darkened room with no second screens. Nationally, cinema attention ratings run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital platforms.
Cinema reaches consumers that streaming often misses. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers. In a dense media market like Los Angeles, that matters. The format is also non-skippable, with documented lift outcomes: a 53% increase in incremental retail visits and 34% gains in auto foot traffic.
A standard campaign runs 4 weeks, the base unit for pricing in Carson. Most advertisers start with a single 4-week flight to establish reach across the theater's 37,963 estimated monthly impressions, then extend or expand from there. Longer flights build frequency with repeat moviegoers.
Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted in this format, regardless of budget or campaign size. Healthcare, food and beverage (non-alcoholic), retail, auto, and professional services are all eligible to run.
