Common advertisers include local restaurants, auto dealers, healthcare providers, home services companies, and regional retailers. The lift data backs this up: QSR brands see 2 to 3 times return on ad spend, auto advertisers report 34% increases in foot traffic, and retail brands see 53% more incremental visits compared to control groups.

Placements include on-screen pre-show segments running before the feature film, plus lobby formats such as digital displays and static signage. On-screen ads run in a captive environment where phones are down and attention is high. That setting produces attention ratings 2 to 6 times stronger than live sports and 6 to 16 times stronger than social and digital platforms.

Streaming reaches cord-cutters, but so does cinema. About 60% of moviegoers have cut the cord or never had it. The difference is attention. Cinema audiences sit in a dark room without a second screen, which produces measurably higher ad recall and engagement than CTV or YouTube. There is no phone to compete with, no skip button to outrun.
