Crescent City, CA sits in the far northwest corner of California, with a population of 6,180 and a median household income of $41,131. It's a small market, but a captive one. Crescent City Cinema is the only movie theater in town, with 8 screens and an estimated 12,800 monthly moviegoer impressions.
For local and regional advertisers, that single-theater footprint is an advantage. There's no fragmentation. Every moviegoer in Crescent City who walks into a theater sees your ad. The audience skews toward families (50% co-viewing) and multicultural households (62% nationally), with a median age of 30, which is meaningfully younger than streaming or broadcast TV audiences. A 4-week campaign starts at $473, making cinema advertising here accessible for most business sizes, and attention levels run well above what digital and social placements typically deliver.
Real ranges for a 4-week :30 campaign. Final pricing depends on theaters selected, seasonality, and the 2026 film slate.

Crescent City Cinema draws an estimated 12,800 moviegoer impressions per month. These are in-seat viewers who came intentionally, not scrolling past an ad. Nationally, cinema attention rates run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital placements.
Common categories include restaurants and QSR chains, auto dealers, healthcare providers, local retailers, real estate professionals, and regional service businesses. QSR advertisers have documented 2 to 3 times return on ad spend. Auto advertisers have seen 34% increases in foot traffic in measured campaigns.
Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are all restricted from cinema placements. These restrictions apply across the network regardless of local regulations. If your business falls into one of those categories, cinema is not the right channel.
Streaming audiences skew older. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, making them difficult to reach through traditional or streaming TV. Cinema ads run in a closed environment with no skip button and no competing screen. In controlled studies, cinema attention scores have outperformed both CTV and YouTube.
Most campaigns run on 4-week cycles, the standard unit for planning and pricing. Some advertisers run back-to-back flights to maintain a sustained presence. Once creative is finalized, lead time for approval and on-screen placement is typically 1 to 2 weeks, so campaigns can move quickly.
Call for pricing tailored to your dates, film slate, and targeting.
