Monthly Impressions

Forest Hills, NY is part of the New York Tier 1 market, one of the most competitive and high-value advertising environments in the country. The neighborhood's single cinema, Midway Stadium 9, delivers an estimated 28,800 monthly moviegoer impressions across 9 screens. For local and regional advertisers, that's a focused, high-attention channel into a Queens audience with the purchasing power and diversity typical of the broader New York metro.

Cinema advertising in Forest Hills skews younger than most traditional media channels. The national moviegoer median age is 30, and roughly 60% of moviegoers have cut cable or never had it, which makes the theater screen one of the few places you can reach them at scale. For brands that need real attention rather than raw impressions, cinema consistently outperforms live sports, CTV, and social media on measured attention metrics. A 4-week campaign at Midway Stadium 9 starts at $2,232.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a cinema advertising campaign cost in Forest Hills?

A 4-week campaign at Midway Stadium 9 runs between $2,232 and $4,464, depending on ad format and placement. Forest Hills falls within the New York Tier 1 market, where CPMs range from $70 to $85. With only one theater in the city, a single-theater buy and a citywide buy are the same investment.

What kinds of businesses advertise at Midway Stadium 9?

Common advertisers include quick-service restaurants, auto dealerships, retail brands, healthcare providers, financial services, and local businesses targeting the Queens area. National data shows cinema advertising drives a 2-3x return for QSR brands, a 34% lift in auto dealership foot traffic, and a 53% increase in incremental retail visits.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run in the pre-show segment, before the feature film begins. It's a captive environment with few distractions. Audiences are seated, audio is on, and phones are put away. Attention scores for cinema run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports, and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital placements.

How does cinema advertising compare to streaming or connected TV in New York?

Streaming and CTV face skip rates, ad blockers, and split attention. Cinema does not. With 60% of moviegoers being cord-cutters or cord-nevers, the theater screen reaches people who are simply unavailable on cable. In a dense market like New York, cinema adds an incremental, high-attention layer that digital and streaming can't replicate on their own.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at this theater?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted through this network. These restrictions apply across all screens at Midway Stadium 9 and are standard nationally. Advertisers in those categories should contact Alluvit Media directly to ask what options, if any, are available in specific contexts.

How long should a campaign run to see results in Forest Hills?

A 4-week campaign is the standard entry point and typically the minimum needed to build meaningful frequency across the 28,800 monthly impressions available at Midway Stadium 9. Brands with specific product launches, seasonal promotions, or local events often extend to 8 or 12 weeks to carry awareness through a full purchase cycle.
