Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Huntington Beach cost?

A 4-week campaign at Century Huntington Beach and XD runs between $4,039 and $8,079, depending on ad format and placement. The CPM range is $70 to $85, in line with Tier 1 Los Angeles market pricing. That covers an estimated 56,989 monthly impressions across 20 screens.

What kinds of businesses advertise at Huntington Beach movie theaters?

Local and regional advertisers in this market commonly include restaurants, automotive dealers, real estate services, healthcare providers, financial advisors, and home improvement brands. With a median household income of $119,885, premium and lifestyle brands tend to perform well here too. Cinema advertising works especially well for businesses targeting established adults with disposable income.

Where exactly do ads appear inside the theater?

Ads run on screen before the feature film as part of the pre-show program. Depending on your package, placements can include the on-screen carousel during early arrivals, full-motion video spots closer to showtime, and in some cases lobby screens or other in-venue digital placements. On-screen spots run at full volume in a distraction-free environment.

How does cinema advertising compare to streaming or TV for reaching Huntington Beach audiences?

Cinema delivers 6 to 16 times the attention of social and digital placements, and outperforms both CTV and YouTube on measured attention scores. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, making cinema one of the few reliable ways to reach adults who don't watch traditional TV. In Huntington Beach, that's a real advantage for brands targeting higher-income, ad-resistant consumers.

How long does a campaign need to run to be effective?

A standard campaign runs 4 weeks, the base unit for Huntington Beach pricing. Longer flights of 8 to 12 weeks build frequency against a recurring local audience. Campaigns tied to a product launch, seasonal promotion, or event can work well in a single 4-week window, particularly with strong creative and a clear call to action.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at Huntington Beach theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema placements. These restrictions apply nationally, not market by market. Alluvit Media can confirm whether a category is eligible during planning, before any creative is developed or submitted.
