City Population

Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, with a population of 2.3 million and a median household income of $62,894. The city skews young, with a median age of 34.3, and its moviegoing audience reflects that. Across 9 theaters and 168 screens, Alluvit Media delivers an estimated 537,600 monthly impressions to audiences who are off their phones and paying attention.

Cinema advertising in Houston reaches a 62% multicultural audience, consistent with the city's demographic makeup. Another 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so traditional TV spots won't reach them. Campaigns run pre-show, on screen, and in the lobby, giving advertisers multiple touchpoints before the film starts. Whether you're targeting a single neighborhood theater or running citywide across all 168 screens, Houston's cinema network delivers measurable, high-attention reach that outperforms social, digital, and streaming placements on documented attention metrics.

Alluvit Media handles the media buy, creative specs guidance, and scheduling so campaigns are ready for the next available show rotation.
